I have a decent list of quick methods to acquire crypto currencies going here http://yocrypto.ca/crypto-currency-essentials/buy-sell-and-exchange-crypto-currency/. You can go the exchange route or a third party selling service usually more expensive but quick, Circle is super good and fast for USA (I'm in canada, they let me buy Bitcoin with my account in two seconds, but not cash back out), Trucoin also seems great and quick everywhere but Canada, and Cavirtex is what i use to exchange back into CAD.
OOoo awesome, NP at all! Yeah circles great, and defiantly try checkouts with CAvirtex, CAD exchange. The setup takes a day or so, they send 2 small deposits to confirm bank ACCT
