I highly recommend the Xiaomi Mi A1[1]. It is part of the Android One[2] program so it vanilla Android and will receive all updates directly from Google. I recently ordered one a few weeks ago and it has been phenomenal, especially the battery life! The only thing I miss from my old phone that this doesn't have is NFC (i.e., Android Pay won't work) but other than that, it checks off a lot of boxes for a solid smartphone!

You should consider Android One [1] phones. There's plenty of them now, including all the latest Nokia released ones. They have vanilla Android and receive all updates directly from Google.
I personally own a Xiaomi Mi A1[2] that I purchased from Amazon for under CAD$320. Solid phone and overall great specs for this price range. The only thing missing is NFC, but I don't miss it too much since the rollout of Android Pay (Google Pay) in Canada extends only to few financial institutions.
