Have you looked into the importaion or a TT to Canada. There are a lot of hoops that you have to jump through. Not impossible to do, but be prepared to have it inspected by a business that is certiifed to do inspections. Then be prepared to bring anything that does not meet Canadian code in to standards.
When you go looking for a TT don't let your emotions get the better of you. Don't let the features you like over shadow the things that you don't. Do more than one walk through preferrably without the salesman, make a list of any defects that you find and get it written on the contract that they will be repaired satisfactorily before you pay for the unit and take delivery.
If the unit meets your requirements and is a condition that you are happy with, decide how far you are willing to let then dig in to your pockets. Start below the max you are willing to pay, and once you get to your max stand firm. If you are showing you are serious, but willing to walk if the deal doesn't go the way you want.
