I have to side with George on this one. In SOME respects, the registry facilitated international travel for Canadians as well. It certainly makes obtaining a Form 6 from BATFE a lot easier. Also, I travelled KLM through Amsterdam to Jo'burg in September of 2011 for a plains game hunt. Having a PAL and registration papers made it easier for me to obtain the requisite permits from Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, Holland's Customs Office, and South Africa's SAPS. We managed these things before the registry, and we'll manage them after it is gone, but in this one respect, it made travel easier.
