Dont forget customs and duty fees when shipping accross borders.  Canada may impose import fees and taxes.  Even if the shipping is low or free for international orders, it still has to go through Canadian customs.  Customs agents have broad powers when determining customs and duties.  It may come through with no fees one time and the next time it will have extra charges.  

If this is your first time buying from overseas, try a small order first and see what happens.  You can also go to the Canadian customs website and see how photo etch will be classified and what fees to expect.

There are at least two eBay sellers in Canada who seem to specialize in PE & other aftermarket items; sorry, I don't have links. A search for what you're after should turn them up in fairly short order.

Happy modeling!

If you are in Canada then shipping from the US, especially through Ebay, can be a killer, generally speaking, and as most etch products origanate in Europe, it's cheaper to to purchase these products from a European Hobby store.

Like Tojo, I tend towards ebay for the best prices if what you want happens to be listed.
