Just to put the brakes solidly on the armed forces issues.
From the CARs:
102.01 These Regulations do not apply in respect of
(a) military aircraft of Her Majesty in right of Canada when they are being manoeuvred under the authority of the Minister of National Defence;
And as for licenses, military pilots and flight crew often don't hold civilian licenses nor are they required to in fulfilling their duties. They operate exempt from the CARs but under authority of the Minister of National Defence. Of note, the military orders very closely mimic the CARs in many aspects (like the requirement to file an IFR flight plan for example) but differ in others (such as minimum take-off IFR weather limits).
