The A-series is the A10, A20, A30, A40, and A50 which are all under $400 CAD including shipping if you buy new from a North American seller. They're all light, small, good battery life, and excellent sound quality for the price point. The A10 is the first gen and A50 is the newest - Sony releases a "new model" each year. The A30-50 series have the same internals and an external metal casing that is surprisingly dent resistant. The A10 and 20 have the same internals, but plastic external casing that will crack easily.
I have no idea about the importing process, but my A17 and my previous NW-A850 were purchased from Japanese stores via Amazon a few years ago. The Japanese shipper took care of everything, although it took three months to arrive. I bought my A45 while I was in Hong Kong earlier this year, which isn't a good example of importing, but it worked out to $225 CAD, which is cheaper than you'll find it from any store in North America. Might be worth a shot to see if any of the big box HK electronic stores like Fortress will ship here.
