    Is everyone in Canada getting them from eBay, or are there any other (cost effective) options in Canada?

    I got mine from TigerDirect.ca
    Although it is a refurbished one, it came in a prestine condition. I can't even tell that it was refurbished unless I was told otherwise.

    Here's a link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4090488&CatId=2511
    Currently, it is posted for $999.99 CAD + S&H + the bloddy Tax. I got it for approximately $1,153.46 CAD.

    Ok sorry, for that then TigerDirect.ca/NewEgg.ca/NCIX.com.
    Although TigerDirect.ca doesnt have much of a selection for mobile CPUs.

    forget main retailers for CPUs in the mobile sector, ebay is pretty much the only way to go for mobile.
