We have now problem here in Ottawa getting our tank filled.  I just go to
any gas station that also sells propane.  They have always had the proper
fitting.  If you go to Canadian Tire where they only fill BBQ tanks then
you have a problem because they don't have the correct fitting.

Try looking for a gas station that has a humongous white propane tank in
back.  You sure can't miss them around here.  Good Luck
