I have been using Localbicoins for last few years and never had any issues with it so I would recommend you to try it but make sure that you are choosing the right/reputed trader and irreversible payment method while trading. Interac e-transfer is popular in Canada if I am not wrong.

* Buy and sell bitcoins in Canada, with cash and online.

I am not aware of the KYC guidelines in other countries so have a look at it before opening a trade request for the higher amount.
