You are technically stealing from your employer who is paying YOU to fly J and be in good shape upon your return also.
If my employees did this I might have to have a serious chat with them and they would be cut off from J class henceforth.
Unless you are self employed of course. In which case CRA would have an issue with your filing a false expense claim.
