It won't be in any "bricks and mortar" store, if that's what you mean.
Amazon Canada lists three sellers, one of which is reasonably priced and the other two are price gouging. The reasonably priced one is Onyx themselves and ships from China. The other two ordered from Onyx and fulfill from Canada, so they can deliver a little quicker, but you pay for the "convenience". I doubt it's because there's import duties that you'd have to add if you bought from Onyx.
I'd just order directly from Onyx. The "Bundle" deal is pretty good.
Onyx Books 2018 flagship lineups (7.8'' Nova & Nova Pro, 10.3'' Note Plus) and the 2019 Note Pro all have USB-C. Running custom Android 6.0.

Own a Nova and it's great. A little bit overpriced tho.
I use an oversized kindle that supports an A2 dithering mode for fast flipping of cards, it makes doing anki like Reading a book.

Basically, with this,you can do anki every waking second if your professors don't mind
You want an Android-based e-reader, which literally rules out Kindles and Nooks and Kobos. That list probably starts with the Boyue Likebook Mars and just goes up from there.
The Onyx Boox line of tablets/ereaders are essentially Android machines. They run any Android apps, including their ebook apps, and have been around for a long time, many models with different screen sizes, etc., it can be a little confusing to sort through the different models, some are older, lower resolution.

Termux and associated packages should run okay, but do a little checking to confirm, e.g.,:

Nova Pro model seems now like the 'goldilocks' boox model, good screen, recent android, not too expensive:
