Insurance most probably will still be a major issue for those, who want to ship their bike over to North America. Very expensive or very hard to get in advance.
Therefore I consider to buy a bike in the US. But the registration/insurance seems to be still an issue for an foreigner.

Dont hold your breath on Air Canada. Nobody is going to fly freight cheaply at the moment unless they absolutely have to. Why would they when prices...and profits....are thru the roof. The only way you stand a chance of a good deal is sectors with high passenger/low cargo volume.
