There`s many Chinese Olympiad books(in mandarin though), probably more than any other country. You can find pass exams with google.

here are some problems from Canada:
-http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/outreach/poptor/PrevProb.html
-CAP exam.
-Sir Issac Newton Exam -- Tons of questions on Classical Mechanic (you have to buy the book though(there's 2 but might be not very challenging))

Irodov's "Problems in general physics" are great.

I love Feynman lectures.

Good luck!
