Micro pigs are available in Canada, we are a breeder, but breed very few times per year. We specialize in the smaller, micro pig (AKA teacup, thimble and so forth) All micros come from cross breeding different breeds including the pot belly and Juliana. It is complex and takes generations to produce the perfect looking pig that everyone wants. The pot belly look is not as desirable and is being bred out for the most part in the micros.
I like the comments above by E. Thomas & Family, they are correct and everyone should do their homework before adding a pig to the family. They are NOT a dog, I find them easier to be honest, but certainly, different when it comes to dealing with them, mostly due to the high intelligence. You are also needing to understand the mentality of a prey animal vs, predator.
If you would like more info, I am happy to share it with you.
We would also encourage adoption of an animal in need vs. purchasing.
