Maybe it's possible to PM Best Buy or Future Shop to get it for $770? http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/.../10227296.aspx
Sold Out on Future Shop online: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ.../10227296.aspx
Not sure it's worth the $30 difference since buying from Costco gives you 2 Years warranty and a 90 day Return Policy.
Memory Express only carries the UX31A-DH51-CA which I think stands for US keyboard, maybe it's worth a shot to try a PM there:

I think this is a pretty solid deal, got one for myself from Costco as soon as I saw it.
