Hi,

They are available on Amazon.ca but are being sold without the sale price unfortunately. You can still check at the local optics store to see would sell them to you at a discount.

All the best,

Lance

Unfortunately it looks like Amazon.com will not ship binoculars to Canada and Nikons don't seem to be available on Amazon.ca more's the pity :-(
