100%! I understand the ridiculous amount of red tape that is probably slowing them down, but not having a paypal alternative is brutal. Wepay is also not available in Canada last I looked.
Yes. I wish both Square and Stripe worked in Canada. I've had a Square Reader for a year and haven't been able to use it but, I know it's tough getting everything sorted out with banking institutions and merchants.
Really, why? My experience is the exact opposite. I run two startups in Toronto, both use Moneris, no problems. I had cards processing within a day or two.

I wish it worked in Canada... Any other Canadians out there wishing the same thing?

We're working on this right now.
And Please Please look at Australia as well
Do you have a timeframe for when it will be ready?
Oh god please do. There is a serious lack of innovation in Canada. Anything that can smooth the path is a boost.

You should look into Moneris (RBC+BMO venture). Sane API, good support, decent fee structure.

Do you have a page you can point to where they do the drop-in .js, or something as simple as the curl call that Stripe offers an example of?
Man I wish we had Stripe here in Canada.
How can a badly put together website full of stock photos tell me they do anything different from their competitors?
Moneris is a huge pain and hassle for a small tech business.

101% Yes. I'm always gutted when I read "currently only available in the USA".
