I'm Canadian too, eh! Unfortunately that lens is very overpriced when purchased new on its own; $939 is the current retail price. Amazon can be ok but you have to look closely at who the seller is in order to get a proper Cdn warranty. In Canada there are several dealers/chains that are very reputable and good to deal with, and will offer a used warranty and shipping anywhere in Cda. Some of these that I've dealt with over the years are Kerrisdale Cameras, Henry's, Camera Canada, The Camera Store, BJ Photo. FTR I'm not affiliated in any way with any of those stores.

Buying used from Kijiji, Craigslist or Facebook has its risks; best to stay local unless you're a seasoned and careful used gear buyer. Personally it might be worth some calls to the above retailers and simply asking if they have that lens used in theirs systems. I switched to Nikon recently but I had three copies of that lens during my years with Fuji. I never paid more than $400 for any of them. I only paid $280 for my last one and it was a nice sharp copy
