So I cant find anywhere that ships the APM2.6 to Canada Does anyone know if there is a flight controller that can do all of the same things PosHold, AltHold, Gps Nav, RTH?

Hi look at the tarot xyz-m or the Dji Naza-M

Wow, those are both pretty expensive. What if I use apm2.8 instead of apm2.6 Since Banggood ships apm2.8 to Canada. It offer's me 2 options on the site: With compass or without? The with compass option is out of stock so could I just order without a compass and buy an external compass?

That's the one to get.

An external compass on a post, up and away from the main APM will provide much better results, folks who use them will then disconnect the internal one if the APM has one built in.
