I wonder how long before this bird is in regular service.
Doesn't Transport Canada need to issue a C of A first?

The CofA for the individual aircraft was issued as it emerged from the factory. It reminds valid, even if out of service. A qualified mechanic's signature in the aircraft logbooks is all that's required to formalize the repair(s) and return it to service with no Transport input. By virtue of the fact it flew to Toronto, we know it's airworthy and can safely assume that AC maintenance staff cleared it to leave the HAECO facility. I may be mistaken, but don't believe anything further is necessary to stuff people in it and charge them money.

I wonder what previous aircraft types the first officer has flown, and if AC's initial type training includes unusual-attitude recovery in the flare.

I noticed that both FlightGlobal and Aviation Herald had posts on the Dec 11 AC 15 talk strike. There was no new news.
The line about the FO's first landing on type was in the HK Preliminary Report that I posted upthread on Jan 10

Incident: Canada A321 near Toronto and Vancouver on Jan 31st 2019, ELACerrate
By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Feb 13th 2019 21:11Z, last updated Wednesday, Feb 13th 2019 21:16Z
An Air Canada Airbus A321-200, registration C-FGKZ performing flight AC-119 from Toronto,ON to Vancouver,BC (Canada) with 190 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing out of Toronto when the crew received multiple ECAM messages including "ELAC 1 FAULT", "RIGHT AILERON FAULT", "LEFT AILERON FAULT". The crew worked the related checklists and successfully reset the ELAC (Elevator and Aileron Computer). Later into the flight, while the aircraft was in US Airspace, the failures returned however. The crew declared emergency with US ATC reporting the loss of ailerons and decided to continue the flight to Vancouver. On approach to Vancouver the crew declared PAN PAN and continued for a safe landing.
The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced ELAC #1 and ELAC #2 , subsequent tests showed the system serviceable. A service difficulty report was filed with Transport Canada.

Incident: Jazz DH8D at Toronto on Jan 25th 2019, engine door sneaked off
Simon Hradecky, created Tuesday, Feb 12th 2019 22:17Z, last updated Tuesday, Feb 12th 2019 22:17Z
A Jazz Aviation de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GGMU performing flight QK-8946 from Toronto,ON to Saint John,NB (Canada), was accelerating for takeoff from Toronto's runway 24R when the left hand engine outboard cowl door separated from the nacelle and struck the left wing leading edge causing damage to the de-icing boots. The crew remained unaware of the occurrence, there were no abnormal engine or other system indications nor were there any engine vibrations. The aircraft continued to destinaton for a safe landing.
The Canadian TSB reported the missing door was noticed only after the aircraft had parked at the terminal. The door was found on runway 24R in Toronto. The operator's maintenance had performed a pre-flight inspection of the engine including engine oil quantity checks in the area of the missing cowl. The operator is investigating.
Transport Canada's Airworthiness reported: "Another aircraft was dispatched to operate the outbound flight. Company Maintenance Personnel and a replacement Door were on the aircraft. Prior to flight, a Service Check and Oil Check were carried out by CYYZ Maintenance, the aircraft overnighted in CYYZ. The Operator inspected the door and found all latches in the locked position with no obvious damage to any of them. The door support strut was missing. CYYZ was advised about the missing strut. They confirmed they had done a full sweep and runway inspection with no sign of the strut. TSB was notified. A Service Difficulty Report (SDR) was submitted. Maintenance issued a Maintenance Safety Alert to all Maintenance Personnel. The Aircraft was returned to service following replacement of the Door and L/H Inboard Leading Edge Assembly. This is the first event of this type for this Operator; however, there have been other similar events with other operators of this aircraft Type. Additionally, Bombardier released Service Bulletin (SB) which includes installing a placard to each cowl door describing (via symbols) the procedures for properly closing the door. All Jazz aircrafts will have this SB completed if not previously done."
