Well, obviously not every place is going to be equal but I am certain that you can still get equivalent work at a small fraction of the cost of buying in Canada. The quality of materials and the quality of tailors exist in Bangkok and other parts of Thailand and the mere fact that their labour and materials costs are much lower and that you are not paying a huge markup just for the brand name mean that you can get equivalent work for a fraction of the cost. Higher quality materials and tailoring would still cost more than lower quality but the overall cost would be a fraction of buying in Canada. Extend that over a couple of suits and you've basically got the cost of a tropical vacation covered. You can still get all the same styles anyways, you just need to be secure in the knowledge that while it may be an exact copy of a designer suit it does not carry the designer's label.
