Hi all,
Canadian controllers aren't concerned about codes
for transborder flights.
As far as I know that is a U.S. requirement
for entering U.S. airspace.
As for the DET to BUF flight. Cleveland center
controls a large chunk of Canadian airspace south of YXU
due to the JFK - ORD corridor. That is probly
why you were not handed off to
the Canadian Controllers. Likewise Canada
controls U.S. airspce in the vicinity of
SAult Saint Marie in Northern Michigan as The
Canadians have better radar coverage
in that area.
Another unusual thing is VFR above 12,500. In
Canada you must obtain a clearance
from ATC to do it. We treat it like
IFR.
I've been a Controller in YYZ center for 25 years. If you have any questions
about
southern Ontario's airspace let me
know
