Yes, that is true you can purchase new keys an fobs from the Stealerships in Canada. I checked it out in the past fall. $1200. CDN
If I use a USA key and fob supplier the cost is $400. CDN The $400. includes exchange, postage and insurance.
Another reason, I love the US.

 

yes you can get them from certain Canadian dealership and you can get them from Rob over at needswings.com https://www.needswings.com/ignition-xf?pagenumber=2

 

Wow!!
Your dealer is really is not going out of his way to assist

I purchased qty 2
I didn’t pay 1200
Mine were $500 (ish) each

The only criteria was that you had to reside in Canada
they required proof of ownership

Thought that someone might need spare parts that I removed from a damage coupe with about 35000 miles. All computers, tailights, interior switches, hydraulic brake unit etc. Located in Waterloo.

Computers can be swapped over IF you replace e-prom on boards that identify the vehicle. pwc@rogers.com

Another successful tech day! Lots of fun, food and laughs! New members mixed in nicely with the older members. Worked on cars on Saturday and cruised to Montebello to see the chateau then off to Mont Tremblant for an amazing lunch (the best burger I ever had) with an amazing band in the background, they have been playing there every Saturday for the past 23 years!!
