Hi Mike!
Welcome and thank you for the introduction! This is the right place to ask questions concerning the Evo and I'm sure you will get many helpful answers. I would suggest posting a question concerning local Evo's in the Candadian and/or Pacific Northwest regional as a good start and good luck!

You are very lucky, you have come here first!!
Forget the STi, there is so much more going for the Evo if you want to get into tuning and bang for buck but it's not cheap, you can blow bucks endlessly so you need to start off small, read the buying my first Evo sticky. Work out what your budget is too plus 5k for repairs. Rallying costs big to setup and race prep a car, so you'll need to budget for that to. It could take 6 to 12 months to get the right one so take your time.

I personally recommend Right Drive (http://www.rightdrive.ca/) for importing right hand drive Japanese cars into Canada. It is a reputable company.
Before buying a used car, typically you always want to take the car to a different dealer (preferably an official Mitsubishi dealership) for a diagnosis. It costs you ~$150, and the salesperson will accompany you. If you are importing a car directly from Japan, you want to have it diagnosed by a local Japanese mechanic (preferably at an official Mitsubishi dealership) before you buy.
Make sure the car is eligible for insurance with ICBC before you buy. In the Communist Province of Onterrible, for example, insurance for such cars can be extremely expensive.
