The ampacity needs to be 530A (size 350 MCM RW90 85-90 c based on Ambient Temperature of 30 c)for single conductor.

RE: 600V Power Cable Selection

Not sure about Canadian standards.  It sounds like you are describing a type XHHW cable.  Check out the Rome Cable or Southwire Cable websites.  Look under 600 Volt Power Cables.

RFQs to one or more electrical supply houses should be fairly routine.
