Anyone know where to buy instant Xbox credit online in Canada?

CAGiversary!
Sorry if this is not the right place but I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites that offer Xbox credit/live codes with instant delivery via email? I have had no luck finding any. Is it just not a thing in Canada?
 
I used CrazyGameTime multiple times in the past (http://crazygametime.com/store/8-xbox-live) before Xbox Live accepted Paypal, with no issues whatsoever.

The codes are delivered in less than 15 minutes, if not instantaneously.

However, be careful with 1600MS (if they still exist). They do not seem to be redeemable on Canadian accounts. The site itself says:

Based on our customers’ feedback, they are having better luck redeeming 12 and 3 Months Live Gold Membership codes, 1200, 4000 and 2400 MS Points codes on Canadian accounts, while the 1600 MS Points codes seem to be strictly region locked to the United States. 

 
Thank you! Sadly they don't seem to have any Microsoft points/Canadian codes available but I will keep it in mind for the future.

Any other suggestions would be extremely helpful
 
I was going to say CrazyGameTime, too; purchased a ton of points from them before the big switchover to local currency, never had any problems. Since that's a moot point, though, have you tried the official MS store? Or adding money directly through Paypal on XBL? Short of that, I think your best bet is probably eBay, unfortunately... If you're willing to make a quick trip, you can buy physical cards everywhere, like, Safeway, WalMart, etc. I think I've even seen them at Home Depot and a few different gas stations.

 
Do these yearly subscription cards ever expire? I bought both xbox live & psn 1 year subscription cards during the Christmas sale last year and still haven't used them as of today (june).

My plan was to hold them until my current memberships exprie first.. hopefully the ones im holding will work later
 
If you use them now they will just stack on to your current subscription. I know that is definitely the case for PS+ and I'm 90% sure it's the same for Xbox Live

Also thank you I will probably just grab a card from the gas station!

PS+ definitely stack; last time I added an XBL card (last summer), they stacked as well. AFAIK, the cards don't expire.

I've had some DLC insert cards expire on me, though; my backlog is so huge that by the time I got around to playing, for example, Batman:AC, the Catwoman DLC that came with it had expired. Had to jump through a couple of hoops, but was eventually sent a new code.

No expire date on yearly subscription cards? Thats good to know, my plan is to use it once there is something worth playing comes out on xbone like DESTINY.

If I start my membership now, it would be a a complete waste of xbox live time in my opinion.

On the flipside, though, you can take advantage of all of the free Games With Gold while you're waiting for the good stuff. That's what I've been doing with PS+ for my PS4; I've gotten, like, 6 or 7 decent (not great) games for free. If I had a PS3, or if the PS4 was backwards compatible, I'd be laughing... PS+ has some amazing PS3 titles.

If you sign up in the next day or two, Street Fighter 4 is free for X360 until the end of the month, I think; Guacamelee for XBone is coming in July, and is supposed to be fantastic.
