Where are you located and what type of bluey are you looking for? I know of only a few breeders in Canada (there is undoubtedly a good handful I dont know of) and they should be listed in the breeders section here on the site. I believe it might be a bit late in the season for babies now, most left are probably reserved or hold backs, but still worth sending out some emails.

Kijiji often has blueys available, however it's basically guaranteed that they are wild caught imports (can still make good pets, but mine have cost me a bit in the way of vet bills). There are Northerns available now and then, if you don't have your heart set on a baby.

If you are driving distance to the US border, there are options for personally importing a bluey yourself, seeing as they are more available from a breeder in the states. The import itself will cost you only the tax on the amount you paid for the animal.

Reptile Express will also handle import for you, although I'm unsure of the cost.

Also try the search function, this topic has surely been touched upon before and you may find some more names or useful information.

Where in Canada are you? I'm in the GTA and got my bluey from a breeder in Toronto. There's the Reptile Expo held there multiple times a year, they always seem to have baby BTS. :)
