Title: Recommended ways to buy Bitcoin in Canada
Post by: Colgate on June 07, 2013, 05:24:29 PM
I am located in Canada.  I wonder if there is any safe, convenient way to purchase Bitcoin here?    For folks in Canada, how do you do it?    Is there any recommended online sites that I can go check out?     Please advise.   Thanks!

If you're looking for a large purchase (over $100) head over to https://cavirtex.com.
Unfortunately we only have one major Canadian exchange at the moment.

Cash Deal: https://localbitcoins.com. People all over the country selling in person.

Small, instant purchase: https://QuickBT.com. They have limits though, but handy for small things.

You can buy bitcoin at major banks in Canada like TD Canada Trust when you buy at Bitcoin-Brokers

Here is a 9300 view thread discussing the service:

Is Mt. Gox no longer respected as an exchange?

I've used 'em. Very safe, and lots of secretagenty type fun, sitting in a cafe watching for the guy wearing a teal carnation on a beret whilst sipping on a mocha latte venti. Easy way to buy a few coins.
