We have a Toronto Stock exchange data available through the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service

This is drastically more reliable than what Interactive Brokers offers.

You can find the complete symbol lists here for TSE:

You definitely cannot trust what Interactive Brokers is telling you about the problem. For example, you can get more data within their own charts than is allowed through the API.

However, you need to follow the instructions here to access more historical Intraday data:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Downloading More Days of Historical Data Directly from Interactive Brokers
