Canadian here, when I have shipped frames to Canada in the past the magic number was $800, after that state sales tax could be applied, shippers will also often charge a handling fee of aprox $50. Just as a side note, the frame you are purchasing will have Canadian duty included in the price, Canada still has tariffs on bicycle frames and completes, so the dealer would have had to pay 5percent duty on the frame after which they would have set their price. However the price is likely based off a higher exchange rate that was in place when they procured the frame, , so in todays dollars you are coming out ahead.
