Christian,
As you probably know, most US Nurseries will not ship live plants across the border, so you will want to find a reputable nursery near your home. Many nurseries are willing to order plants for you if they are not in stock. Another option is to try ordering through a Canadian based online company such as treetime.ca, silvercreeknursery.ca, veseys.com, canadiantreenursery.com, salisburygreenhouse.com, etc.
Happy Gardening!
