I guess that is the main problem... they don't live in Canada. They are expats as well living in different countries.

I found a few options and have contacted them... I don't know how legit this SPOT is, but found them via a search and will given them a try. They also list a few hotels to the side and I am assuming that these hotels will more than likely be able to assist. Will try it out...

Damn, I just wish Canada will let the freakin' Emirates/Etihad planes in. I mean Air Canada doesn't fly to the UAE, so why not let someone else? Competition is good for everyone, right?
