help buying bitcoins (canada)

[drakedog]

hi, I need to buy some bitcoins asap (supposed to buy something in a few hours)

I checked VirtEx but everything takes at least 1-2 business days

I was going to use interac email transfer but apparently its reversible so people wont use it

and lastly, I heard you can use VirWox to buy linden dollars with a credit card and convert it to bitcoins, can anyone confirm this and/or tell me how?

thanks for any help

You can deposit cash at Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal or ScotiaBank, and it will be credited to your account at CA VirtEx, generally same day I believe.

That is possible, but that method too is not immediate.  I believe there is at least a 1-day delay after the payment is processed before the SLLs are received.

There is one method that might work.  BitcoinNordic accepts funds using CashU.  CashU funds can be purchased online in Canada from a couple online merchants:
 - https://www.cashu.com/site/findResellersInfo
 - http://www.BitcoinNordic.com

Apparently, KashU funds can be purchased in Canada as well.  KashU is another funding method for use in paying for a CashU transaction:
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/UKash#North_America

I don't know those methods well, so I'm not sure if it is a fast transaction.  The fees aren't necessarily pretty either.
