rebarreling

I would venture any qualified "smith" can install a quality custom barrel on it. Without seeing the action I would guess it is a Mauser 98.
Usually a match grade stainless barrel all finished is about $625. A chrome moly would be slightly less. That's what I charge.
Used barrels or new "pull offs" are considerably less if you find a suitable one.

Ellwood Epps in Orillia, Precision Arms & Gunsmithing in King City, Chris Bonner-Vickers Firearms Repair in Fort Francis, Carmen Willows in Elgin....these are just a couple of 'smiths in your province......they are out there.....and should all be very capable of re-barrelling your rifle for you.
If you can find a barrel for a Churchill, it's no big deal. If you can't, you're looking at machining costs, plus the cost of the barrel and installation. It may be cheaper to buy another rifle.
Where you are in Ontario is important. Any smithy can change a barrel.
