Thanks Wadi Racer,
I just went on the navcanada website and it says the experienced controller hiring process is "currently under review, check back in fall 2007." It also says you must be legally able to work in Canada before you will be considered. I don't think getting a work permit would be too much of a hassle, besides of course, the waiting time to get the appropriate paperwork.
Certain centres, are quite understaffed at the moment, so I would be surprised if navcanada didn't restart the experienced controller program.
