Welcome to the forum, Nima. :hi:

1.tom has been in canada since january. He went to Canada in January. He is still there.
2.tom has been to canada since january. He has visited Canada between January and now.
3.tom has gone in canada since january. Not possible
4.tom has gone to canada since january. John's departure for Canada happened between January and now.

In all of them, 'Tom', 'Canada' and 'January' should begin with a capital letter.
