I plan on buying a new MacBook in June and I’m contemplating buying AppleCare. There are no Apple stores in my province, but I do have a two “Authorized Apple Retailers” or whatever they’re called (FutureShop and my University computer store etc).

If I buy a MacBook with AppleCare, and something needs fixing, would I bring it to one of the retailers or would I have to send it to an Apple store/Apples HQ’s in Canada?

Any authorized repair center will do. London Drugs in Western Canada, for instance.
 
Oh, I suggest you go to your university store. If it's anything like mine (at the UofA), they either are an Apple authorized repair centre, or provide direct access to repairs through an authorized location elsewhere on campus.

That, and I wouldn't trust a Futureshop staff member anywhere near the insides of my Mac. Ever.
