Definitely looks underweight, if the size of those paws is anything to go by. Thanks for taking him in.
You could put up some posters to see if anyone is looking for him. If no-one comes forward (rare, in my experience), I hope you find a way to keep him; maybe the vet will allow small monthly payments. I don't know of any rescues offhand in Ottawa, but they often have access to cheaper vets.
His raspy meow may not indicate anything serious. I have a little cat whose tongue often lolls out of his mouth, don't know why, but he is quite healthy.
