I doubt there are any export controls on nicrhome wire. Can't you just google it and buy it over the Internet?
 
You could try this:

www.yellowpages.ca

Then enter:
wire-electrics & electronics

and your city.
 
You can try McMaster Carr.

I'd heard that McMaster-Carr was no longer shipping to Canada unless you happen to be one of their existing customers?

To the OP, look up hobby or model airplane shops in your city: they may stock, or know who would stock it.
 
sweet thanks
 
Goodfellow (tend to be expensive)
