Amazon (currently OOS but you can backorder): https://www.amazon.ca/VisionTek-900888-Products-Polaris-Graphics/dp/B01HDUVQZC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467906043&sr=8-2&keywords=rx480
Newegg (OOS): http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131692
Unfortunately they appear to be OOS, but they were definitely in-stock for longer periods of time than the 1070/1080 :)
Not when you buy from non third party resellers... This is "shipped from and sold by OneDealOutlet Canada."... OneDealOutlet Canada is not Amazon or MSI, they just sell their stuff through the platform.

"ships from and sold by Amazon.ca." nearly 100cdn cheaper.
As of right now, Amazon.ca is still selling VisionTek RX 480 8GB for $309.99 CAD + taxes (free shipping).
I have searched high and low and so far this is the best deal for Canadians. It is the cheapest 8 gb model even when converted back to USD.
Also, Amazon.ca won't charge you until the item is actually shipped. So you might as well order one now to reserve it, but you can cancel it if you find it sooner or for a better price.
Here's the link:

4GB model is even cheaper.
Amazon is selling it for $305 + free shipping. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B01HDUVQZC/?ie=UTF8&condition=all&tag=nowinet-20&m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB
8GB Visiontek version in stock at Amazon. Free shipping. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B01HDUVQZC/?ie=UTF8&condition=all&tag=nowinet-20&m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB
Edit: already out of stock. Dang that was fast.
As a starting point, I'd like to point you to these:
Crusher : http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8709254
Exterminator: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8014361
As you can see, they're both probably adequate for the games you are looking at, but still under the modern VR threshold...
If I was in your place, I'd be aiming at an i5 with an AMD RX480, witch should put you in a confortable spot, for current gen including DX12 and Vulkan support.
If you really need Bluetooth, then keep the adapter on the list, but I'm going to have to defend that you get a FAR better experience when using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. In my own personal setup I had to run a 17m cable through 4 walls (drill, baby, drill!) to get it and I would do it all again.
Sorry for the delay.
$305CAD for an rx 480 that wont be far off: https://www.amazon.ca/VisionTek-900888-Products-Polaris-Graphics/dp/B01HDUVQZC
I have a gtx 1070 myself, so dont accuse me of being a bios fanboi. However, it seems like AMD is better value in the sub $440cad range in the canadian market.
