With the successful bid on a tax sale property that is occupied (in Ontario), does this then fall under the Tenant Protection Act for Ontario? i.e. do we have to go to the Sheriff's office immediately, or has anyone successfully negotiated some kind of tenancy agreement with existing residents?

Are the existing residents tenants or previous owners? If previous owners, then there is no "Landlord/Tenant relationship" and therefore no rights. You would goto the sheriff and ask for eviction. I'd suggest ask a lawyer on that one though.
IF they were tenants, you have to go though the LTB (used to be called ORHT) and get an order based on that.
Last option of course, you COULD just negotiate something to keep them there as tenants. Again, that depends on what you want to do with the property.
