Canadians really don't need bitcoin as some of the highest rated books - Pinnacle, BoDog etc offer direct transfers via EFT to/from Canadian banks and credit unions with zero or low fees.
If you must use bitcoin Shakepay is the most trusted and recommended for buying/selling - you can buy using interac etransfer and get paid via the same method, deposits and withdrawals are usually processed in less than 40 minutes @ Shakepay.
Also fastbtc processes withdrawals 24 hours a day within 35 minutes - you send bitcoin to a btc address they provide, which is permanently linked to your email (so you can reuse the same btc addy) and when it is confirmed 1 time they send you an interac etransfer that you can deposit instantly to any Canadian financial institution that offers interac. Fees are a little higher at FastBTC, Shakepay is definitely the best option but you need to use an app on your iphone or android as it is not offered on pc, yet.
