John,
There was no 'William the Bruce'. You may mean either Robert the Bruce (Robert de Bruis), or William Wallace. Either way, they both lived in the 13th/14th centuries, and lack of documentation for the vast majority of Scots for that time period will prevent you from being able to prove back that far.
What you should do is work back a step at a time, starting with your grandfathers marriage certificate. I'm not familiar with Canadian documents, but hopefully it should name both of his parents. You can then look for the marriage certificate of those parents, which again will hopefully name THEIR parents. At each stage, if you post the details on here it will increase your chances of others being able to help.
