The 1000 cad doesn’t include the sub. Just speakers. I was thinking in wall at the front. I can shift it all left a bit. Roughly 2500 overall for speakers, sub, and receiver.
if I went in ceiling surround behind and to the sides, does that rule out the atmos? Is it one or the other? I can do without atmos as I have never experienced it, but want the surround if possible.
Are there speakers that would be recommended for the room size? Should I increase my budget?
Yep increase budget if possible. I wouldn´t want to buy anything crap as you have to make holes in your walls.
You can`t have in-ceiling surrounds and Atmos. The surround l/r needs to be placed roughly at seated ear height or slightly higher at wall then. Atmos overhead speakers will go in-ceiling so you need to have the height difference between these two. See here:
This is UK based forum so quite tricky to know all the options there in Canada, but Polk is always popular choice in US/CAD and specifically this model. The RC55i is from cheaper range for surround l/r wall mounting if you still considering that.. If you stick with same brand you can save little by going cheaper effect channels. Most money should go to front three.

Tv would need to be wall mounted quite high so you don´t compromise the in-wall center channel location. Keep in mind that it`s one of the most active speaker in your system and it shouldn´t go too low shooting your knees.
Klipsch is quite legendary brand in States/Canada. This in-wall model is similar to Reference Premiere range which is super popular. It´s basically LCR speaker so you would use two of those vertically upright as main L/R and third would go horizontally just below tv.

In-walls aren`t ever cheap. Klipsch would be my choice for movies. The RP is not harsh sounding. You can listen Klipsches in many shops like Best Buy (Reference Premiere not Reference range!) to get idea do you like the sound!
For subwoofer my vote would go to SVS PB1000 Pro if you can stretch the budget.

If that is too much then the older model which is on sale open box, but it won´t be as good due to smaller driver. This was still considered the best 500$(US) sub earlier, spanking most cheaper 12" models easily! If you can opt for the Pro model then don´t think twice cause good subwoofer can make such massive difference if you enjoy action/scifi/horror stuff.

I would say something like below Yamaha (850$) as minium would be ideal for av-receiver although this can do 5.2.2 system at most so something like Denon X3700H (1500$) would make more sense in long run as you can move it to your basement and power 9channels and if you add 2ch poweramp you can power 7.2.4 system! It also has preouts for poweramps so basically you can then run any type of system you wish if adding those... Another important thing would be the better room correction, but yeah it´s really tricky with such tight budget. So you have to make the compromise somewhere. I would want good speakers and sub for sure. The Yamaha is not bad!
