Is it really IMPOSSIBLE for a Canadian to get a Visa Black Card?!

Hi guys, first post here.

I am a frequent traveller and I love my travel cards - I have a Business Platinum and Corporate Platinum American Express, as well as a Visa Infinite card.

I am really attracted to the benefits of the Visa Black Card (blackcard.com - issued through Barclaycard). However I'm just going to be honest - I love that it's titanium - I own a company and we actually produce a titanium membership card for our clients and I think it's a fantastic marketing idea.

The trouble is, I am Canadian, and I live in Canada. It seems like the only way to apply for the card on their website is to have a US address/citizenship/SSN.

Can anyone think of ANY possible workaround for me to get this card?

(And PS: I know about the Centurion but according to Amex they wont give me one because my Amex's are for business - they can't give me a personal centurion based on a business platinum account status).

Thanks so much!

Ryan

Edit: I've been told that in Canada, our Visa Infinite card is the 'equivalent' of the Visa Black Card, but, it's not titanium.... boring....
