how late can it be done, and at how many weeks does the fetus have the ability to think or feel?
In Canada, there are absolutely no legal restrictions on abortions, so technically you could get one at 37 weeks.
However, there isn’t a doctor in the country who would perform an abortion that late, since at that point the fetus can feel. Most doctors offer abortions until the end of the first trimester, and sometimes into the beginning of the second trimester if there could be serious complications.
