Also known as rainfords goby.
They are fairly common.

Also if you don't mind smaller fish maybe source them from Biota. Captive bred, raised, great for the environment.

Koumansetta rainfordi-The Court jester goby is a personal favorite and a highly underrated fish in the aquarium industry. Typically, when wild-caught court jesters are incredibly finicky and rarely survive but our court jester gobies feed on anything thrown at them. They do well singly in...

This is the kind of goby I need in my tank.

I got one from Biota. It came basically microscopic— so make sure you have suitably small food. Lol. It was rather shy the whole time; liked the bottom half of the tank. Hope this helps.

Not sure if the Canadian LFS can order from them, captive bred is preferred of course, I’ll definitely ask

Definitely a Koumansetta rainfordi, it’s “close” relatives are Koumansetta hectori and Koumansetta hoesi.
Rainford’s are heavy sandsifters whereas Hectori are a mix between sand and rock control for algae. Both will devour most algaes however rainfordi has a bit more care as it will quite possibly drain life out of the sand bed in a matter of time unless you seed your tank Atleast once a week with pods.
Here’s my Hectori.
