I have moved to Canada and want to order goods online, but I am a little afraid to enter my details.

That's understandable, because online payments require caution. Many shops in Canada use reliable payment systems, but it is important to understand the difference between payment gateways and processors. For example, https://sdk.finance/blog/difference-between-payment-gateways-and-payment-processors/ explains well how each component works: the gateway is responsible for the secure transmission of payment card data, and the processor is responsible for the actual processing of the payment. When you understand this mechanism, it is easier to choose services with reliable protection. This knowledge gives you confidence when shopping and helps you avoid fraud, even if you are new to Canadian online stores.
