Me too.
I think the only way you can get it into Canada is if you drive across the border and buy it yourself.

Bio spira in canada

Another Canadian here! 
BioSpira is not available in Canada, and it is because it has not been approved for import due to it being a biological product. I doubt it's a high priority item for the CFIA.
This is Marineland Labs' response to my inquiry:
I appreciate the email. Unfortunately the Canadian Government will not alway Bio-Spira into the country. We have tried for several years to ship Bio-Spira into Canada, but so far have been unsuccessful. I will attempt to contact the scientists at Marineland this week to check on the statis, but I don't think it is hopefull at this time. I will let you know what I find out.
Sincerely,

And further info:
I just heard back from Dr. Tim Hovanec (head of BioSpira) and he is still working on placement in Canada, no success yet!
We will keep working on it....

I got some BioSpira from relatives who travelled to the US. They were able to refrigerate it on their trip home. Otherwise, I wouldn't trust BioSpira to make it here through mail or courier and still be viable...especially if it gets stopped in customs for a while.
