if you're in the US, getting meds from canada is kind of a grey area. Its a lot like getting rx's from your local pharmacy--just cheaper--so its not illegal per se, but the FDA does reserve the right to seize any shipments from canada (they havent done this in a while I believe). Some health insurance companies actually offer reduced co-pays by sourcing most meds (brand names, no controlled substances) from canada...usually, generics are cheaper in the US though, because Canada's market for generics isn't as competetitve as it is here.
