Masala is the best one but don't worry plenty of them here you can easily find in desi store or Arabic market.

Hi Guys, I had a question regarding Utensils. I am thinking to get all utensils in stainless steel as Plastic is very bad for health, so want to know the prices of stainless steel utensils ompared to India. I saw few item prices on amazon canada site and found to be really expensive. so people who are staying there can tell how good the idea is to get all from india...

Why not stoneware or ceramic coated?

Who said plastic is bad for health. You just need to buy a good quality brand.
Also, don't do a direct translation from Canadian Dollars to INR.
If you do that, you will find even a McDonalds burger really expensive.

I suggest just getting a pressure cooker from India along with some bare essential plates and bowls, to get you started and running.
Also, get the pressure cooker which supports induction, as majority of the stoves here are of induction type.
Once you are here, you can shop around in Walmart for some affordable non stick pots and pans.

sorry Plastic and non sticks all are bad in long term - let it be tupperware too....even if BPA free....its my personal choice...you may google...cast iron is good.....reason is indians cook for a long time....non stick is good if you use it just for saute...

nonstick pans get their nonstickness from perfluorocarbons (PFCs), chemicals that are linked to liver damage and developmental problems.

Indeed it's your personal choice to avoid plastics and non stick.
I have also answered your query on the costs in Canada.
You can find any type of utensil in Canada, and for reasonable costs.
Carry only what is easier to carry. Pressure cooker is one item you should get.

Copper is also good...
