Your hardest task will be finding a cheap one at all, anywhere!
The US and Canadian machines use a Bayonet style bulb too. Motors were fitted in both Canada and the US to avoid the tariffs on "whole" sewing machines. They were considered incomplete without a motor by the time these machines were in vogue (the first time)

Red Squirrel - My 222 came from Airdrie. Not far from you. It was under $300 before taxes. That's considered cheap for a 222K here.
