I do not know the rules in Canada or how thorough Customs is. In the USA I have had no problem. Most packages arrive looking like Customs inspected the contents, and then placed a green sticker on the outside specifying "supplements".
Sometimes suppliers have an extra fee for 'discreet shipping'. They package the pills, the label, and the flattened box in regular mail so as not to draw attention. I have found no suppliers that will engage in this practice with controlled substances--since that is prison material--but with simple things like Prozac or Adrafinil and such, it might be worth the extra discreet shipping fee. You'll probably have to spend some time trying to locate all potential Adrafinil suppliers in a net search and then see who has discreet shipping options.
If you can get a prescription, and send it to the supplier, they can put a label on the shipping box that says something like "Medication for personal use. Prescription enclosed." In the USA, Customs hasn't even bothered to open a shipping box that had that label on it, in my own experience.
And who knows, a non-discreet shipment might get through customs without problem. Happens in the USA all the time. In a worse case scenario--if the shipment was seized--you would be out about $30. No huge loss that might contribute to worsened depression. :-) JohnL
