Dont even think about coming back to Canada right now if you have been flying/living in Asia or Africa. All airlines have been advised by Transport Canada, that Red Passes ( airport security passes) will not be afforded them.
Therefore you WILL not be interviewed by any of the airlines until the issue has been sorted out by Transport Canada. This does not just apply to Pilots - but Flight Attendants and airport staff!!! Unbelievable but true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
