Re: House Types
Oh yes they do ......
" Bi-Level/Split Foyer
Includes two short sets of stairs and two levels. The entry is between floors. The front door opens to a landing. One short flight of stairs leads up to the top floor; another short flight of stairs leads down. The top floor tends to be full height ceilings with the Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Bedrooms and Bathrooms. The lower floor often has lower ceilings and is partially below ground. However, in many modern split foyer homes the lower level is at grade, which necessitates an outdoor staircase to reach the front door. These homes often also have very high ceilings on the lower level to accommodate the home's HVAC ducting."

Re: House Types
I have created a Wiki article called Housing Glossary-Canada.
Please feel to add info or make changes if you disagree with my interpretation of Canadian terminology.
