Man, this is a real challenge! Even every "famous" Canadian writer I like has had a book turned into a movie. Here are some (non-Canadians) that used to be famous, for which I couldn't find any movies based on their books:

Richard Brautigan (In Watermelon Sugar, Trout Fishing in America, Willard and His Bowling Trophies,...)
Ryszard Kapuscinski (Imperium, The Soccer Wars, The Emperor,...)
Milorad Pavic (Dictionary of the Kazars, Last Love in Constantinople,...)

Kapuscinski's books aren't really fiction, but that didn't stop Hunter S. Thompson's books from being adapted into movies. Brautigan's and Pavic's novels don't really have story arcs, so I guess they never got turned into scripts.
