All of the Net Jets International requirements are no longer valid.
The only way you get into a GIV or GV now is by bidding into it from the union seniority list. No more direct entry pilots into NJI after the last contract agreement.
The Netjets aircraft only fly to and from Canada. They are still not allowed to fly point to point within Canada. That is left to the Canadian operators.
From reading some info on the other boards it looks like NetJets is going to bypass Canada and is looking to get Netjets ASIA going soon considering all of the growth going on there.

I do not know all the fine details of the regulations regarding fractional ownership, however, it's my understanding that the rules in Canada are significantly different than in the US. As a result, it is not feasible for NetJets to start operations in Canada.
I have not heard of any NetJet pilots being based in Canada, rather they just fly trips to Canada from the US on a regular basis.

Yep, NetJest can get away with being a private operator in the US as the only people they fly are the people who have bught a fration of the airplane i.e the owners. However in Canada, they view that just a bit differently and have to fly to the more restrictive Commercial Ops rules.
However, that being said, a company out in Calgary has taken a stab at it (I believe if memory serves correctly its called Sprint) using the PC12 and recently small jets such as the Citation Excel and Lear 45.

Is Flexjet not part of Bombardier which is a Canadian company. Bombardier is offering flying jobs within North America and Europe. Does anybody know more about Flexjet, it seems that they are not as big as NetJets.

It is difficult for anyone to start an air service in the Peoples Socialist Republic of Knanada.
To many bureaucrats and to high a tax structure....Even one of Canada's ex Prime Ministers operates his business off shore.
Shouldn't that tell you everything you need to know about that subject?
