Anyone know of a Canadian dealer who sells 12" Crosman barrels? Or someone selling a used one?

Crosman doesn't make a 12" barrel. Only a 10.1, 14.5", 18, 24"

For a 12" you would need to buy a 14.5 and cut it down and re crown yourself.

Scopes and ammo, or Canada shooting supply, has good prices on barrels.

I just bought a 14" from scopes and ammo...they didn't offer a 14.5"

I was just planning on buying a 14 and having it cut and re-crowned...but, I can't find a local gunsmith

Its advertised as 14" but its 14.5 something.

Cut and crown it yourself. Honestly its not that hard. You cut it to the length you want with a hacksaw, then tape up the barrel and put it in a drill chuck ( chamber size ), use a file or sandpaper on the bench or in a vise to square and clean it up. ( while spinning in the drill )

Use a drill and a round head screw and valve lapping compound to do the crown, or a round head dremel bit. Then use fine emery cloth to clean up the tooling marks.

Sounds simple enough....and I guess if I mess it up I could just cut it down a bit more and try again...

For a nice straight barrel cut, get two worm clamps side by side, painters tape the barrel first for clamps, then use a fine saw blade to start cutting the barrel with the saw blade guided by the clamps. Once you almost get to bottom, take clamps off. This helps avoid the saw blade from slipping when you start the cut as well as not getting the barrel scuffed and scratched.
