try metal supermarkets, they will cut metal to your specific size and are cheaper than most places. You have to call a branch nearest you, mine is 1400 miles away and ships via ups, and its still cheap.
Only thing is they cut with a saw so accuracy is not very high (not even close to front panel express), you will have to drill, file and finish the pieces after you get them.

there must be a local metal stock place to you. everyone needs to make stuff out of aluminium
a lot of materials should be duty-free coming from the US to Canada -- you have to check with the Treasury --

"Duty free", yes, but big brother still wants to hit you with sales taxes, both federal (GST) and provincial. And it isn't even the taxes that cost a fortune, it is the "broker", "COD", and other bull... fees that the couriers charge for the privilege of doing the paperwork. Often the fees are in excess of $50 and can be many times more than the taxes collected. It's absurd.
