Can't get Canon from B&H anymore?

But now it looks like the page restriction says item cannot be shipped to Canada. It definitely didn't before and I don't think any canon product has ever been restricted?

Any idea why this change? Is it temporary? Assuming border openings, if I shipped it across border and picked it up does Canon still honor north american warranty?

So even if you did manage to say go to the B&H store in New York in person and buy a Nikon camera and bring it back to Canada, the warranty won't be recognized by Nikon Canada. It is considered a grey market product. Not only is the warranty not recognized but Nikon Canada will refuse to service the camera after the warranty period, even if you are willing to pay for the servicing. You would have to send the camera to a Nikon USA service center.

I serviced USA-purchased Canon products at the Mississauga Canon facility for free under warranty. Canon Canada was a subsidiary of Canon USA. Maybe it still is but what's described is this thread sounds like a nightmare to me. End of an era.
