On vectors

When we are on vectors in Canada and cleared for an approach we can descend as described in the TC AIM quote posted previously.


If we are on vectors below MSA but at or above min vectoring altitude, we will normally get "On interception, cleared the straight in ILS XX approach."


I can't recall being on vectors and subsequently being "cleared out of controlled airspace for an IFR approach", but getting this app clnc off of a PPos Dct GPS enroute phase happens quite regularly at the uncontrolled fields up here.


Maybe the hugemongous holes in our radar coverage is the reason for the flexibility in our rules?
