The Canadian Heraldic Authority restricts its grants to Canadian citizens who have made a contribution in some manner to Canadian society. To quote from the CHA's web-site:
"Grants of armorial bearings are honours from the Canadian Crown. They provide recognition for contributions that Canadian individuals and corporate bodies make in Canada and elsewhere."
For an individual to petition the CHA for a grant of arms they should submit the following, again quoted from the CHA's web-site:
"Individuals should forward:
a completed information form (no. I-2006-1);
proof of Canadian citizenship;
a current biographical sketch that includes educational and employment background, as well as details of voluntary and community service;
the names of two persons who may be contacted as confidential references. "
From my reading of the CHA's web-site, it doesn't appear the the CHA will make memorial grants to one's Canadian ancestors. If your grandparents are still living and are Canadian citizens then they would be eligible to petiton the CHA for a grant of armorial bearings.
Best regards,
