Thanks, any suggestions where to look for used specifically?

Most others seem to suggest sticking to local stores.

Local stores are probably your safest option. But I've never had problems using ebay, craigslist and Facebook.

With ebay, if you use buy it now the prices are usually too high IMO. But if you refine the search to Canada and watch bid prices you can get good deals.

Also craigslist or Kijiji depending where you are usually have some good deals if you're patient.

Marketplace on Facebook often has lots of options as well. Or there are a couple of Facebook groups, one is specific to Canada, the other is North America so you'll find both. If you don't have Facebook, it's worth it just to see what's on marketplace and these forums.

One other option is Fred Miranda. They have a used section, although they're usually in the states. But sometimes you can find stuff in Canada.

When I can't find locally, I've had good success using these other options and having the item shipped. Just be sure to ask for photos taken with the lens, Raws or hi-res jpgs. Also be sure to pay with PayPal G&S and no other payment method, it's the only way you'll be protected. Hope that helps.

What part of Canada are you in?
