However they did nention that you can still fly the bike within Canada as well as to Europe at the discounted rates.

This is completely (at least) wrong.
In what to Argentina correspond here there isn’t any problem for clear customs, travelers are coming with their bikes constantly here and didn’t find any difficulty for release a bike and clear customs after pay the local charges for the airport cargo logistics.
The situation is exactly the same than before here with Air Canada or any other airline, and customs doesn’t change anything apart of a few stupid details requires.
As far we could find out by now Air Canada could have some space problems coming to South America, probably as they could be giving priorities to perishable good that pay extremely more expensive than a motorbike.
Or maybe all is because they are afraid that someone reclaims for the promotional price that they were offering and they realize they can’t give.
That was the problem in the beginning; I think I explain it on a previous post. They were offering a price without notice that there (here) exist local charges that someone has to pay…
(Note for a Moderator: I think we have 2 threads talking about same subject, can be unified?)
We are receiving few bikes this week, one coming with AC, will keep you informed…
