Definitely recommend the book, Bottle of Lies.

I'm sure you're fine with the generic Apixaban since your blood test confirmed it (great that your doctor ordered it). Sounds like you found a generic that works, which is good, and as long as you are able to stick with the same manufacturer you should be fine. My problem is I never found a good generic that I was confident was close enough to not cause me any issues.

Yes, my Canadian Pharmacy is CIPA-certified as well. The difference in cost: US would be almost $1000 for 30 days of brand name, Canada Pharmacy is ~$150 for 90 days worth of brand-name. I mean, it's ridiculous what we pay for pharmaceuticals in US compared to other countries.
