For laptops they almost always are universal.

For Playstations they may not be. Easiest thing with those is to buy a new PlayStation power supply in Canada. Amazon, eBay, Craigslist etc...

Newer TVs are universal voltage. We only had 1 out of 4 that was 240v-only.

The converters vary in size depending on the wattage required. The small ones that look like a plug-in battery charger will only be low power,100 watts or so and aren't usually intended for continuous use.
Not sure about Sony but Microsoft's advice is that for xbox consoles you need to purchase a new power brick for the voltage of the country you are in. The European ones are sold with a 200-240V transformer whilst the North American ones are sold with a 100-127V.
