Answer 2

Ontario is not part of the natural distribution of the Brown Recluse, but that doesn't mean they can't hitch hike there.  Only the environment does allow them to propogate there.  See map at this link.

It is likely that the Northern Black Widow (Latrodectus variolus) exist in Ontario but you won't find them on the wall.  They are reclusive and your mostly to find them in a wood pile or a dark, unused corner of the garage or basement, not in the living space.  Here is another link.
