Canadian bank account is different from a credit card that can be used in Canada.
I guess you have to see if any one have done any ordering recently with different delivery services. In my area, even ubereat (usually deliver resturant food) is expending to grocery delivery.

Some times, they do not put a blanket rule if they accept foreign credit card or not. It also depends on what type of card and from which bank.
Good luck.

You can use any card provided it goes through.....there are three players involved, each has own function. Aggregator like Instacart, payment processor like "moneris" and Grocery store like Superstore or save on. Provided payment is processed and have approved status, they will deliver to your address.

You don’t need a bank account to use your credit card. My credit cards aren’t tied to my bank or bank accounts. Try your credit card and see if it accepted.

I have a non-canadian debit card and have been using that for all my online purchases including groceries and takeouts. Never had any problem with transactions not going through. I use Walmart grocery mainly for my groceries. Never tried instacart.

I've used an international forex card I carried with me from my home country (India) for the first month in Canada. I could use it on apps like Uber, Instacart and in stores like WalMart, Food Basics, Shoppers' Drug Mart and Dollarama with no problems, till I got my Canadian Bank account activated.

I assume international credit cards work on similar lines. Depending on the rules, you may incur additional charges/international exchange rates (I'm not entirely knowledgeable about this).
