Some time ago tayken had posted a link (below) detailing what happens to Tort cases in family law situations. all cases listed in the document were dismissed which included people who sued for false allegations of DV

another aspect of that is seeking remedy from the police force/officers who laid the false charges in the first place and from the crown who decided to proceed on the charges. i found this interesting study http://www.blaney.com/sites/default/...-Negligent.pdf that lists exactly what happens when you try to seek such remedy.
the paper details how supreme court of canada has started to refuse majority of the claims of malicious prosecution against the crown. similarly negligence claims get thrown out on basis that there is no standard of care a cop should have used while laying charges.
the summary I conclude is that while the law does permit to seek remedy for false allegations, the law is also designed in such a fashion that almost all cases such attempts will fail.
bottom line is that canadian justice system stands firmly behind the false accuser and nails the victim of false accusations as hard as legally possible. if the accused is somehow proven innocent and seeks remedy he is further nailed for seeking remedy.
