This is incorrect. It clearly states on the Canadian government website that you do not have to apply for rehabilitation once the 10 years has elapsed. See the link below.

I know somebody who JUST went through this that had an arrest 13 years ago and had to send in all his paperwork, etc. He thought the same thing, but if they keep sending your stuff back telling you to submit the information, you have to do it. He finally got his rehabilitation and it took over 2 years. If he didn't have to apply since it was well over 10 years, why did they make him go through the process?

I've hearts of guys just going to the border themselves in cars and getting it taken care of personally. Supposedly the guys at the border are much more accommodating than sending your stuff into the ministry.

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?

Why should flight crews have priority over passengers?

At the airport or at the hotel?
