 Well, following up on things, it seems that it may have possibly been 
 a bit of an over-reaction.. 
  
 I called Transport Canada directly the day after all of this, and 
 spoke to a pleasant doctor there (Within 30 seconds of calling!) and 
 explained the situation. 
  
 Apparently, he didn't interpret it as a problem (Based on my 
 explanation of things), and said I shouldn't really worry about it. 
 To double check on it, he took down my information and said he would 
 keep an eye out for my medical when it arrived, to look it over 
 personally. 
  
 That was sure a load off.. :-) 
  
 It was also nice calling a government agency for once, not getting 
 stuck in "Push a button" hell to begin with (A real person right off 
 the bat!), and then actually not being put on hold for 2 hours.. 
  
 Then, to top it off, I got to the right person first try, and got a 
 resolution within  minutes. 
  
 Entire phone call, about 5 minutes... 
  
 Some other government agencies should take footnotes on what Transport 
 Canada is doing, because they've got it right, that's for sure..  :-)
