Hi guys ! I’m from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

Not a Canadian, but: get something that’s common. The more people that have had the car, the more reliable it usually is and the cheaper are parts and repairs.
My first car was a Hyundai Getz which was about 10 years old when I got it, and she died of rust 4 years later. But it was cheap, reliable and had AC.
i don’t think it qualifies as that reliable if rust killed it only 4 years later. car bodies can usually last decades…
unless it had serious unseen rust issues beforehand, or you were driving it in salt all the time.
It had a dead transmission when I bought it, poor thing did not get a wash after winter.
My Audi that I’ve been driving for 8 years gets her belly washed every month. No rust in sight so far.
