cheers.,
 
You want rhizomes, not seeds. Check out freshops, hopsdirect, the online suppliers or ask your LHBS
 
You'll need to get rhizomes, though I'm not aware of any sources in Canada. Try Freshops.com or HopsDirect.com.
 
Do not use seeds I have Cascade and Chinook Rhizomes . All hop yards are planted w rhizomes . seeds can be male and all hops are grown w no males to polinate Glen
 
Buying rhizomes from a US supplier will probably require some kind of import certificate. Most suppliers won't bother. I know Freshops does, but it's $20 USD.

Hops do not breed true, so seeds could give you odd results. Plus, half of the plants would be male.
