--------------ok, here's my question, I live in brampton, ontario(of canada) and have not been able to find microcontrollers or servo's, if any one here around this area could help me out or if someone could find a good store in brampton i would greatly appreciat this.

I think the best option for you is to buy online from United States or Japan or Europe or even from Canada. I am pretty sure that if you google you will find online shops that sell parts in Canada.

Here are some of the shops I do business with in Canada:

http://www.robotshop.ca
http://www.bugnbots.com
http://www.solarbotics.com
http://www.hvwtech.com

There are probably lots more. I know the owners of the last three personally, and they are all great.
