Dora, If you have a mac book pro with optical drive then you should be able to go to 16gig of ram, and if your really keen, an ssd drive makes it even faster again to start up.
As for pricing, I'm not Canadian but 2 8 gb SODIM ddr3 1600MHz shouldn't be overly costly for you, I know here in NZ it cost me around NZ 280 18 months ago to upgrade a machine of similar age. Our pricing is a lot higher than what USA or Canadian pricing would be Hope that helps.

My Macbook's a pro 2012, and I've had it for 3 years now. I don't have an Apple store on Vancouver Island, unfortunately! Have a great day.
