Camino Frances start May 8 (2016)
I live on Vancouver Island BC western Canada. Does anyone know where I can order it from to be delivered here? Or where I can get it directly from a store?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You can order it in various concentrations and quantities on Amazon.ca or try your local Home depot, which is where I got mine, called Blaze Pro Crawling Insect Destroyer.

Pretty sure its illegal in Canada, and not sold by Home Depot. We went down to Bellingham and bought some at REI. Customs had no problem with it, its one of those "illegal to sell but legal to posses" things. If it IS still at Home depot, good news, but I could not find it.

@RickM:
If you check Home Depot's website, you will find many items under Pest Control. Generally, those which are labelled for crawling insects are most likely to contain permethrin. I have just found several. The percentage content of permethrin is low. I intend to go to my local Home Depot closer to my departure date and buy another spray tin of BlazePro crawling insect destroyer, as it worked very well for me last year.
If you go to Amazon.ca, which is the Canadian website, and enter permethrin as your search, you will find many types of "permethrin clothing spray" priced in Canadian dollars (I have not attempted to order any). The percentage content of permethrin is much higher and I prefer to stick with the lower content. Good luck in finding what you need.
 
The Permetryne sold on Amazon Canada only last 2 weeks. There is one by Life something or other, The makers of The bedbug sheet, but it' sur 60$! Was at Canadian Tire this week-end and did not find what I used last time, what then have now is mixed with other chemicals I do not know. What your sill also find on Amazon.ca is meant for animals and is 10% concentration.

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
We went to Buckerfield's, a farm supply type in Kelowna, and bought an aerosol can of Doctor Doom bed bug killer. It contains 0.25% permethrin and lasts up to 60 days (according to the label).
