That's civil forfeiture.
But that's not the only way things can get confiscated in Canada. There are several.
e.g.
Canada Consumer Product Safety Act
Allows the Health Minister, with a signature or delegated authority, to confiscate any consumer product. Can you think of anything that isn't a consumer product? The light switches and drywall in your home are a consumer product.
If the government decides to store it, it requires the citizen it was taken from to pay for storage, indefinitely, whatever the cost of the government building its stored in.
You may appeal the decision of the Minister, by sending a letter to the same Minister who made the decision. You may not appeal to court.
