I'm trying to get my hands dirty this year with a veggie garden at my yard. I need some soil to fill up the little raised bed a friend made for me (10ft by 10ft). Any advice is welcome as I've never done this before.

Go to Home depot or Canadian tire! Soil is anywhere from $3 to $10 depending on size and brand

Before you start putting soil into the raised bed what is it built upon?  
Is it sitting on soil, gravel, stone/concrete?  
How deep is the bed? If it is about a foot deep (30cm) then you will need about 3.5 cubic yards of infill.  
If it is on soil put some permeable membrane or old carpet down first, on solid concrete then a 2 inch layer of gravel/stone chips will help drainage and lessen the amount of infill needed.  
I would suggest not using black dirt/soil as it will go sticky unless you mix in a lot of peat based compost.  
Look at the costing from a landscape company for different soil mixtures but unless you pay extra for sterilised soil you will have a fair amount of weeds growing as well as your crops.  
Raised beds dry out quicker in the heat of summer so need more frequent watering, you can reduce this somewhat by lining the inside with plastic, but not the bottom as you need free drainage.  
Check out some online gardening sites for crop spacing and growing tips.

Don’t do that. A bag of soil from Canadian tire will barely make a dent in a garden box that size. If it’s a foot deep you’d need around 100 bags per garden box.  
 
Call a landscaping place like Livingstone or Alternative, or Tasmanian Gravel, etc, lots more that I can’t think of off the top of my head. Tell them your measurements, and they will help you figure out how many yards of soil you need. They all deliver, and you will get the benefit of the exercise from wheelbarrowing the soil from your driveway to the backyard.

Tasmanian gravel has a calculator on their website to tell you how much you need. I'm in the middle of pricing it out too. It ranges from 20 to 30 per yard depending on which type of soil you pick through alternative. I haven't heard back from the others yet.
