I checked with them last week and they do indeed ship to Canada without issue and started doing this a few months ago, according to their sales rep.
Thought I would note: while I will be getting some training plates down the road, I have done a substitute for the time being.
I used hot_shot's method using some Best Step EVA foam mats for material; they are water resistant and antimicrobial. I must admit that for $13 this is possibly the best substitute for training plates I have seen for anyone who's on a budget (aside from the plaster filled plastic SAPIs, which unfortunately don't fit in my APC). I doubled up on layering and after making a perfect sized cardboard template for my APC, cut out four sections; two for the front and two for the rear. They fit like a glove and to my utmost surprise are VERY rigid, and very comfortable while filling out the carrier to the max. Took me 45 minutes to do, most of that time being for sizing the template to the precise size and correct angles.
I will post photos in detail of how it can be done. I had many doubts about how it would feel and look, but it looks legit and feels great. Even when knocking knuckles on my chest it feels very solid.
Now, in the meantime, saving for some training plates.
