Does Citizen's Arrest Exist in Canada?

I ask the Government of Ontario if there is such thing here as citizen's arrest? Does Section 494 of the Criminal Code of Canada not exist? Do you have to wear a fancy security uniform, carry a baton, a GUN or some other weapon in order to perform citizen's arrest? Please tell me how can one avoid a kidnapping charge while restraining a suspected thief until the police arrive? Maybe I should become a shoplifter because I have learned that you can get away with it. When accused of shoplifting in Canada, you can just walk away.
