canada said 10pf, and the caps are a small clear affair saying 10K on them

Small and clear sounds suspiciously like a polystyrene cap. In that case 10K would probably indicate 10pf with a K tolerance (10%).
"the place in Canada" orderlist doesn't require conversion. .01 is plainly listed under several different types. For older values like .05 you will have to make the next closest selection which would be .047 in the 'new' values.

What you receive for a .01 will probably be marked as 103K. He often includes a little chart for that connection and there is a chart on his site.
