I tried to buy it from the Atmel store as well and I was told the same thing and I am in the US. So they aren't picking on Canadians.... yet. ;-)
Try this: http://www.microchip.com/developmenttools/productdetails.aspx?partno=atatmel-ice Make sure you use the Coupon Code when you check out to save $50 which is good through the end of the month. Hopefully they ship to Canada. Looks like they have offices in Canada! http://www.microchip.com/distributors/SalesListing.aspx?market=CANADA®ion=NA&terr=Eastern%20Canada%20(Ontario,%20Quebec,%20Nova%20Scotia,%20New%20Brunswick,%20Newfoundland,%20PEI) And they serve western Canada out of San Jose. http://www.microchip.com/distributors/SalesListing.aspx?market=CANADA®ion=NA&terr=Western%20Canada%20(Manitoba,%20British%20Columbia,%20Saskatchewan,%20Alberta,%20Yukon,%20N.W.T.,%20Nunavik) That is the full Atmel ICE, not the Atmel Basic, so it comes with several cables and a trangular "interface PC board" which apparently I don't need yet. :-) I'm only using the AVR interface at the moment. Some of the cables and perhaps the "interface PC board" are for the SAM interface. I have several Canadian relatives on both coasts. I worked with the ICE more last night and it just gets better the more I learn about it. Its a very powerful tool for debugging.
