More than 19 people are known to have died after a gunman, dressed as a police officer, opened fire in several locations.
The suspected attacker, Gabriel Wortman, a 51-year-old denturist, allegedly shot people in their homes and set properties and vehicles on fire in the rural town of Portapique, Nova Scotia.
Police in Canada have now said there are "in excess of 19 victims" made up of both men and women, and that they expect the death toll to rise.
Some of the victims were known to the gunman, while others were randomly targeted.
In an update on Monday, police said they believe there may still be the remains of victims in homes which were burned to the ground.
There are 16 crime scenes around central and northern Nova Scotia, and authorities say they are "relatively confident" they have identified all locations.
Wortman was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) at a petrol station, and was later confirmed to have died.
One of the victims was 23-year-old Heidi Stevenson, a veteran of the RCMP and a married mother of two.
A second officer was injured but is said to be recovering at home.
