I bought a Timeport P8167 Sprint Cellphone off ebay that I cannot use for my
service here in Canada unless I get the Master unlock code. Is there anyone
here that knows it or knows how to get it?

If you have service now with Sprint, go on the website.  Activate that
phone in exchange for your current phone.  The website will give you
the number during that process.

Nope, you can't.

Take it to a sprint store.
Tell them you are having a problem with it, or you want to activate it
on your wife's acct, some song and dance like that.  Tell them you
want to get a printout of the phonebook.  They will look in the
computer and they will write a number on a piece of paper.  
That is the MSL code you need.  Make a note of it.  

You can't call on the phone and get it, I can tell you.

Or if you have a friend with sprint service, have them switch their
phone for that one, and then back online.  You will get the MSL during
that process.

In certain situations you can. I got the MSL for my wife's Kyocera 2255
when I bought another 2255 to replace it, and I needed to program the phone.

The CSR walked me through the programming process, and I now have the MSL.

Of course. But a non-customer cannot call on the phone and get it.
That's what the OP was trying to do.

He needs a little social engineering to get that code out of Sprint.

I want a new one.  I know I could probally never find that.  I just wish there
was a Motorola with Vision for Sprint!  That would be great!
