Why limit yourself with expats when there are 300k Canadians living in HK? HK hosts the second largest Canadian contingent after the USA.
Which province is your driver's license issued from? BTW, you can get a HK driver's license providing that your provincial driver's license is valid. Otherwise you are out of luck and have to get a driver's license in HK. Go and visit your local Transport Department for more details.Lastly, can I drive in HK with my Canadian driver license? Or are there anything I can do in advance to transfer it into a international license to be used in HK?

here is a good start

you can try dormitory style living, if you're in a tight budget. see link below.

Or, a studio type room (in HK island), below link

what is interesting fact, is that for the amount which you setting aside for rent of a place which probably can't fit you and your bicycle unless your bicycle is placed above your bed within your shoebox flat in HK island, some people pay parking around HK$4500-5000 for their car parking in hk island, even places such as whampoa, parking cost around HK$4k, let alone living in aberdeen, or repulse bay, even where i live in Fanling, i pay HK$2500 for covered car parking space which my wife and kids use every day, car park rental in HK island such as repulse bay, aberdeen, or shouson hill is prohibitive expensive, overall, cost of running car in HK is one of most expensive place in entire asia hence why car ownership is one of the lowest in asia
You mentioned that you want to exchange your Canadian driving license so you could drive in hk, hence why I am highlighting the cost of car ownership as I have been driving in hk since summer of 2007, but the difference is that I choose an area where it's affordable, back in 07 , only cost hkd 1100 per month in fanling, now it's hkd 2500 which ain't cheap
