In August 2020 he signed for the Canadian club Scarborough SC.[19][20][21] In his debut season with Scarborough, he assisted in securing the First Division title and finished as the league's top goalscorer.[22][23][24] He also assisted the club in reaching the CSL Championship final against FC Vorkuta but was defeated by a score of 2–1.[25][26]
The following season he assisted Scarborough in securing a postseason berth by finishing second in the standings.[27] In the opening round of the playoffs, he contributed two goals against the Serbian White Eagles which helped the club to advance to the championship final.[28][29] He featured in the championship final against Vorkuta and registered two goals which secured the title for Scarborough.[30][31] He also helped Scarborough reach the final of the ProSound Cup but was defeated in a penalty shootout by Vorkuta.[32]
He re-signed with Scarborough for the 2022 season.[33] Throughout the 2022 campaign, the eastern Toronto side would achieve an 18-game undefeated streak and playoff position by finishing third.[34][35] Limane made his third championship appearance, which Scarborough lost to FC Continentals (formerly FC Vorkuta).[36]
In 2023, he signed with league rivals Hamilton City.[37] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 June 2023, against Weston United.[38] He then played with League1 Ontario club Hamilton United.[39]
