...purchase paper charts on-line, then these guys (based in Phoenix, AZ and taking US $$) work well.

But be cautious about expiration dates, they are not printed on the charts.

Data is here...

I found that even Canadian FBOs (one with a very large training operation) did not know these dates, and wanted to sell me an outdated chart. I also found that the Canadian VFR charts did not have the details I am used to from US VFR charts.

This PDF file will give you airport charts -

..but you really need this book, which does not appear to be on-line anywhere -

This book gives those little details you need, like which runways have right hand patterns...:)

...just back from a very pleasant two weeks flying aboot in Alberta and B.C., eh...

Interesting price difference...

I'm pretty sure we don't have those in Canada. To have all the info, you'll need the VFR charts and the CFS - Canadian Flight Supplement.

The only electronic version I saw was the one that came with FliteStar, the flight planning software from Jeppesen.

You can get the CFS from VipPilot

...$20 for the Canadian Flight Supplement from the link you provided above -- and $29 from the "official" Nav Canada source...

Yeah, VipPilot is an Online only pilot shopping center. They have a limited catalog but the prices are always better. Shipping is really fast for us in Canada. Most of the time I get my stuff the next morning if ordered before 2 PM!!

Their prices for Garmin GPSs and Watches (Citizen Eco Drive) are amazing.
