From another old fart who's been there, done that, I'm 100% with SASless.
The only thing I'd add is to go for Sea King/Cyclone job to round out your RCAF resume, get that offshore, ship borne and hoist time.
(I was were you are in CF, flew CH135, CH113A, CH124 and B206, got out, got back in, got out again, trust us, tough it out) Good luck young man.
