Hi there, Kyle
You might as well save your gas. Since Bearcat scanners are
manufactered by Uniden based in the U.S. any scanners by them
up here are pretty much 'imports' so they have the same frequency bands blocked as you guys down there. The two main stores in
Vancouver that I've been to are Com-West radio systems at 1-604-
321-3200 and Dubberley's on Davie Ltd. at 1-604-684-5981. You
should probably phone them to make sure in case I'm wrong.
