As usual, I'm too dense to understand the impact of this rule.
Since NA has a 7-day advance purchase reqmt, ticketing ex-Canada (if you didn't happen to be in-country 7 days before departure) has meant you needed to use an agent to ticket and mail you the tickets (or hand them to you when you arrived) for the past year or so. What's different about the new rule?</font>
Because you were able to ticket "in Canada" (even if that just meant having the tickets mailed to you from a Canada travel agent) for travel starting somewhere else entirely, ex-AKL, ex-CPT, etc. In this way you could have the ticket in hand when arriving in one of those places to start your adventure.
