Can't sell it. Need a pesticide license to sell and need one to buy.

Worst case you can go with this, they ship to Canada. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Monterey-LG6135-Garden-Insect-Spray-Insecticide-Pesticide-with-Spinosad-Conce/224190541423?hash=item3432cc2e6f:g:T~UAAOSwvQdfg3Qs#shpCntId

It is possible it would get turned back, cannot say. At least the Ebay guarantee would cover it.

Spinosad
Spinosad is derived from a soil bacterium and affects the nervous system of insects and mites. It has contact activity, but is even more active when ingested. Several products containing spinosad are labeled for ornamental (e.g., Conserve) and agricultural uses to control a broad spectrum of pests including caterpillars, sawfly larvae, leaf beetle adults and larvae, thrips, leafminer and gall-making flies and emerald ash borer beetles. Spinosad is highly toxic to bees. However, toxicity is greatly reduced once the product has dried on the foliage, within three hours to one day depending on the product. Therefore, avoid use if bees are active, and if applications are needed, apply in the evening when bees are not active and product has time to dry. This product suppresses a broad number of caterpillar species and should not be sprayed or allowed to drift in known habitats for threatened or endangered species of caterpillars and butterflies. Some spinosad products are OMRI-listed and on the EPA Reduced Risk list.

I encountered this when trying to get a decent showerhead in California. Here in Cali they have special laws for showerheads. Not a big deal for most but for my wife's hair it was a problem. Never lived somewhere with this 1.8gpm limitation. Amazon wouldn't even let me try to order and every eBay seller accepted and later cancelled the order for this fucking showerhead I wanted. Eventually I had it mailed to a contact in another state then reshipped from there here.
Point is, if you can't make it happen, you may have to find someone south of the border to try and do the same. Just like nobody is knocking down doors for showerheads putting out >1.8gpm, I doubt anyone is busting down doors for Spinosad. At worst, it may need repackaged for Customs. That would be as simple as pouring into another container, I'd imagine. Something like a bottle of coffee creamer. Seems like a lot of work for Spinosad but, I don't think it's impossible.
