Got the bike through Canadian customs today, very straightforward and took no time at all. Contacted customs yesterday, they went and inspected the bike by poking a hole in the plastic and looking for mud on the tyre. I went back to the airport this morning and got the cargo company paperwork stamped by customs and they released the bike. Total cost to the Canadian cargo company $83Can, customs tried to charge for the inspection but I pointed out that previously they had told me it was free, and they waived the fee. Result.
