1. I was on a trip with my friends. (by a Taiwanese teacher of English)
2. I went on a trip with my friends. (by a Taiwanese teacher of English)
3. I was on a trip to Canada last month. (by a Taiwanese teacher of English)
4. I went on a trip to Canada last month. (by a Taiwanese teacher of English)
Are the above sentences acceptable to native speakers?
 
I & 3 are not complete wihout further information (to say what happened).
 
They are all acceptable and are complete sentences. They could easily be the answer to a question such as "Where were you [last month]?" or "Where did you go [last month]?"
