Likely not, unless the fund mostly holds Canadian real property (including real estate but also mining rights).

Per www.millerthomson.com/en/blog/carrying-on-business-in-canada-for-non/a-non-resident-disposing-of-taxable-canadian/:

Under the Canada – United States Income Tax Convention, assuming the limitation on benefits provision has been satisfied, a United States resident’s gain from the disposition of property is only taxable in the United States unless the property disposed of was ... a share of a corporation resident in Canada if the value of the corporation’s shares is more than 50% derived from real property situated in Canada

If taxes were withheld, or if you do have to pay Canada since it's a property fund, you should look at filing Form 1116 with your US taxes to get a Foreign Tax Credit.
