Oh how I wish Braintree was accessible in Canada. We've haven't been very pleased with our payment processor as of late.
About a year ago I actually managed to get someone from Braintree talking with someone from Chase Paymentech Canada (since Braintree supports Chase Paymentech). Unfortunately, BT is integrated with CP Salem whereas CP Canada only processes through CP Tampa.
If anyone has tried to do this in the last year and succeeded, please comment.
beanstream in canada is actually quite good, easy to setup, low fees, and has a good api (credit card data stored on their server). i looked at braintree, but couldn't use them b/c of canadian merchant. beanstream also lets you do funky things with canada/us currency (collect and settle in us funds, settle in US banks, etc.)
Tyler - We're getting ready to launch in Canada... In a couple of weeks you should be able to use http://feefighters.com to compare payment processors apples-to-apples!
