There is such a huge variety of selection at every price point, that I wouldn't bother jumping through any hoops to get a scope. Name your price point and we can list 5 options that are easily available.
On the specific topic, there's no regulations regarding importing scopes into Canada. You didn't specify where these scopes come from, some locales have export regulations. And many vendors have self-imposed rules about markets they will sell into.

I have a couple of the EP4s 6-24x50.
They are a great scope for the money.
$50 to import through Prophet River, details about import on their site. You basically buy them, ship to Prophets US affiliate and they import them and ship to you. Hassle free.
As far as the scope, the turrets and tracking is excellent. A different feel but I'd say turrets are on par or better than the PST gen 2. Decent elevation at 28 mils IIRC. Zero stop is excellent, although its set at 0 always so you can't set it for 1 mil less if you wanted, only a full rotation or 10 mil less of you ever needed to dial down....I don't. As far as glass, I haven't really had them side by side too much but I'd say the PST gen 2 is slightly better.
Don't know of anything else comparable for the price. I was told by Prophet River that if there was a warranty issue, they would handle it.
Looks like they just revamped their SH4 or whatever the lower end model is and added illumination so maybe they'll do the same with the EP4s. There are more reticle choices available now in both MOA and Mil.

Thank you for the information. There is a lot of scopes out there. I want something in the 6-800 dollar range with great glass and zero stop. I currently have on hand vortex viper pst gen 1 and 2, Athlon ares ETR, and BTR gen 2, trijicon and bushnell. I want some decent value without breaking the bank for a rimfire. Currently using a lower end bushnell rimfire scope That’s a little blurry on full mag (12x) But does the job. But I believe my little Cz needs some better glass. Thinking of scooping up a Nikon black. I hate not having zero stop, they always seem to move when bouncing around the back of my Tacoma, Not a huge deal, but I’ve become a bit of a snob for nice glass.
