I agree, just mentioing the cost. Their law sucks, which makes me dislike Canada even more. Love it we kick their @$$ in Stanley Cup! hahaha

Don't waiste your time going through one of the Canadian Embassies, go straight to the border. I don't think all the border crossing's can approve the rehabilitation application, but I know some can.

Do you know if DTW is one of those who can?

I posted this question in the "Ask the Recruiter" forum. I got a noise violation for a loud party at my house. In North Dakota, that is classified as a misdemeanor. It's kind of ridiculous if you ask me. How can a loud party have the same penalty as marijuana possession or a DUI?

Regardless, Lori Clark and Rickair answered my question very well regarding my question on how the airlines would view it, however this Canada thing was just brought to my attention through reading this thread.

Am I going to have issues flying into Canada when I get a job? I actually drove up across the border recently, and had no problem... Just curious what you guys think, and if there is something I should do about this right now before I start applying with a regional that flies into Canada.

I've just about had it with the attic over the party. What's with Canada? The last three or four overnights I've had in Canada I've just about lost my marbles - I was going through Seurity in Vancouver with a coffee, they tell me I can't have the coffee out - Put it in your bag. I say put hot coffee in my bag? why? They say it's "not fair" to the passengers. In calgary the security guys took my tiny scissors (legal in the states) and gave me the third degree infront of passengers - I told him he should see the axe behind my seat. Again in Vancouver we were waiting in the security line behind some slow moving "special needs" passengers - our captain was a minute or so behind us so he came up and "cut' infront of an old lady in a wheelchair to be with the rest of the crew - The airport guy pushing her chair YELLS "No cutting here in Canada!" That's not FAIR! Unbelievable . He looked at him and told him he can't be seperated from his crew in a foreign country - which is kinda of a load of crap - But it was funny - The security folks ended up pulling us up to the front of the line anyways - but the attitude, wow. Lastly - The Delta hotel in Vancouver - We show up at 1230am with a bus load of passengers - The captain runs in to get the keys for all of us - There are about 5 people standing in line - He walks up to the counter to get the clip board and keys - which we typically just sign out there - the desk girl says "No budgies!" no Budgies?? "back of the line!" You have to wait your turn like everyone else - it's not fair to our other guests...I guess they changed the policy in Vancouver - Crews cant just sign the clipboard grab there keys and get some sleep - You have to wait 10 minutes in line with the rest of the guests...Gotta love socialism. Canada, Americas Hat. Are they still medalless in the Olympics?

gsphuntr...I've gotten that "not fair" to the pax in YVR as well. What a joke. I bid avoid ALL Canada overnights because I'm going to get myself arrested one of these days when I go at it with one of those ACTSA/CATSA jokers

And everything is a pain in the butt, and everything is unbelievably expensive. Blah...I can do without Tim Hortons if I must!
