My IIc (european version) uses an opal bulb of 150W/230V and an E27 socket (the
most common tungsten bulbs socket in Europe).
I don't know if IIcs for North America used the same socket, maybe it's the E26
?
Here is a comparison between the E26 and E27:

The thread is similar, there's only a small difference in the diameter.
Anyway, replacing the socket is not very difficult ...
With a E26 socket, the equivalent would be a PH212 (do you also have 120V in
Canada ?):

I strongly suggest a true enlarger bulb. This enlarger is a nice piece of
equipment, I don't see any reason to save a couple of bucks on the bulb.
If needed, I put some manuals on this page:
