I am new in Canada and I just wanted to know where I could buy telescopes in Toronto or in other cities Ontario? Where to find Zeiss products?
What about the following?

Efston Science on Dufferin right near the highway

Thats all I know and don't know if there is a better store in Toronto but at least check out their website.

By far the best place to buy binoculars and scopes in Ontario is Pelee Wings. It's near Point Pelee Provincial Park, which is one of the best spots to see the spring migration. It's several hours drive from Toronto but if you combine it with a trip to the park it's worth it.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will keep this while I went to Pelee. Btw, will it be good to go to Pelee in Winter?

I just bought binoculars from Pelee Wings this morning. They are very helpful and informative, but their storefront closes January 3rd I believe, until the spring. They still take internet and phone orders though. Today was the first day I've ever birded Point Pelee out of spring migration and summer. It was pretty quiet except for the large number of raptors I observed. It seemed as if we were seeing a new bird every few minutes, The highlight for me being a juvi Golden Eagle! It's only the beginning of December and even with no wind it was cooooold!

Regarding the best store to purchase birding equipment, please see this forum discussion below on "Vortex HD scope".  There were references on birding optics as well.

Pelee Wings Nature Store closes during the winter months but still accept mail order apparently.

Good birding.
