Default B8: Jack stand & floor jack

I currently have 2 subaru imprezas and will be trading one of them for an A4 this week (or whenever it arrives.. it landed in Halifax on the 24th of april). My first (and only!) mod will be painting the caliper before they look all rusted like on my current cars. Jacking the imprezas is easy: I put a hockey puck on the jack plate and jack from under the rear diff to raise the rear high enough and then put a jackstand in each rear corner. There's also a little spot under the front that raises the front completely to allow me to do the same.

- Are there such points on the 2009 A4? ie: Can I jack from the front or rear and put two jack stands at once? Or is it one corner at a time?

- What are the best floor jack points? The pinch welds on the imprezas weren't sturdy enough (bent them). I guess the best solution would be to buy pinch weld adapters like this:

Anyone knows where I can get something similar in Canada?

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words.. I'm close to clueless in mechanic

Thanks!
