Medical tourism is an option too, I think. If you visited a doctor in another country, and obtained a prescription, you'd be allowed to bring it with you back to Canada, right?

You’d never be able to get a foreign prescription filled in Canada, federal and provincial regulations forbid that. Brining medicine back would be fine, but then you can’t get more without an expensive flight again.

If I lived near the US border I’d just get an American doctor and get prescriptions filled in America, but I’m nowhere even remotely close to the border.

You may need special permits to move scheduled substances across borders. ADHD meds can even be problematic between EU states.
