The UK student visa is not connected in anyway to canada. So you have to find out what visa you may need to go there on holiday.
I tell it like it is.

The UK student visa is a multi-visit visa. This means you can leave the UK during the period of the visa and still come back on the same visa (assuming the uk visa is still valid)

This means you can go to Canada and still come back to the UK on the same UK visa.

the question of whether you can go to canada really depens on your nationality. some passport holders may require a visa to visit canada but others may not.

Not true! As you are currently residing in the UK on a student visa, you can apply for a Canadian tourist visa at their embassy right there in the UK.
