Hi,
I highly doubt that is possible, once you surrender your license you cannot get it back. Once your in Saudi you can convert your Bahraini license to Saudi one.

I could not find a official link from the Ministry of traffic website but found the below link

On conversion, they will KEEP the old licence and send it back to the country of issue. The only way to avoid that is to show them a valid Saudi residency and say that you will continue to need Saudi licence to drive in Saudi. In that event, they allow you to keep it. Since they have already taken the licence, you cannot get it back now.

You can get an international driving licence which you can use to drive in Canada for up to a year as a visitor.

If you are asking about conversion, no you can't convert a Bahrain licence to a Canadian one.
