I bought a 2002 Spyder last August. I am looking for a key fob. I was told by my local Toyota dealership (I live in Canada) that since the car was manufactured in the US, I would have to purchase one from a US Toyota dealership. Anyone have experience with getting a key fob?

This one from Amazon should work. $25.
Also, program it yourself. Dealer help is not required. I’ll paste the procedure below...

If you want to upgrade to a slick all-in-one flip out key fob, this one from Artiway has worked pretty well for me. You have to message him and ask to include the 4C chip to work with the immobilizer. It initially was a little stiff in the doors, and doesn’t work well in the cubbies, but works fine for the ignition, glove compartment, gas/hood lock, and airbag switch. Found it to be a very nice upgrade.
Thank you! I'll check it out.
