Seems to be very difficult to find this engine as a clip, plus I'm in Canada.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

You would be better off to just get the GT Four.
If you're interested I've got a great guy here in Calgary that will help you find your dream GT Four.

PM me; I'll get you his details.

So why do people do the swaps?
Is it because they couldn't be imported? I'm not really sure about the Canadian importing laws with right hand drive vehicles. But I thought I just recently read something about it being legal now except for Quebec.
Or maybe they just want to do it themselves?
Or they save a bunch of money by collecting the parts needed ?

Kaos, I will PM you when I decide on what to do with my current celica. Kills me to let it go , lol

In Canada there is a law that states an imported vehicle must be 15 years of age before it can be legally registered. This year marks 15 years for the 1994 GT-Fours, before that we could only import the engines. Now that we can get the whole car, already assembled, its totally worth it just to get the car and not have to worry about getting the wiring harness redid or the chance of a damaged engine in freight.

I feel you on the current celica tho; I want to get rid of mine too in order to make room in my garage for the future GT-Four, but I've just spend so much blood, sweat & tears on it. It'll be hard to let it go...
