I have no idea on Bruce Cox imports.
I do have an idea that beautiful, beautiful Bellingham, WA is the very, VERY best mighty, Mighty, MIGHTY Washington state offers.
I see you are in BC. Please bring your friends and get more delicious and refreshing Washington State dairy products at the Costco. Hopefully another Costco could be built in Bellingham so more of your country-folk can stock up. Really, PacNW produce is so wholly better than elsewhere U.S. Though, as you know, in Winter, the oranges, bananas, and grapefruit may be a little knackered.
I'll guess you did your i-net searches and checked the BBB and such. You could ask on the local Bellingham craigslist. You may want to Bing and Google for reviews and opinions on a dealership or repair service of interest as with Yelp and other review websites.
Another used vintage and modern used Volvo dealer in beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Bellingham, WA is Rainbow Auto Service. You'll want to contact Larry before hand. You can find the Rainbow Auto Service contact info at (http://www.brickboard.com/SHOPS/). I don't know Larry and his Rainbow Auto Service very well between our emails and my one visit in 2010, yet intuitively, I'd advocate at the very least contacting Larry and visiting his facility. You can also find parts and more with Larry. He's really an excellent fellow; he and his staff. He (Larry) really cares, too.
There may exist other dealers from lovely Ferndale down to awesome Everett, WA and elsewhere along the I-5 corridor N. of Seattle. You may want to read up on the http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ for information and that new to you Volvo 700-900 series you seek, as well as just good info for all later RWD Volvos.
You should not have much problem buying a 700-900 Volvo sold in the U.S. market you want to bring into Canada. Just be sure what emissions controls BC and Canada require. Not all U.S. 700-900 Volvos are fitted with the PulseAir (air injected into the exhaust port, or manifold) as well as EGR (exhaust gas recirculation). I think, yet am not sure, Canada may mandate most cars are equipped with PulseAir. Not certain about EGR. As you are in Canada, many Volvo engines come fitted from the factory with much higher performing camshafts. It may take awhile, yet you may be able to find a factory installed 'K' cam on a four-cylinder redblock engine in the Canadian salvage yard; more often normally aspired engines. If you purchase a normally aspired U.S. market Volvo 700-900 series, you could add to the performance pep without affecting emissions or idle provided you keep it in good tune.
Questions?
Please come across the border, your and your Canadian pals, and buy more in the U.S. We do love you for it and hope you enjoy the value and quality! 'Specially the dairy! WA-state diary RULES!!!!
Hope that helps.
