We do it very different here in Canada than the U.S.

That's just it.

Ever notice that 'Disney Specialists' are a dime a dozen in the US? This is because anyone can get a CLIA card and start selling travel out of their home in most US states. This is not all the case in Canada. Never mind proper schooling and testing, but in some provinces you also have to align yourself with a storefront travel agency.

Just like every other profession, it takes dedication, time and studying to become a travel agent in Canada. It is a profession (not a part time job), so choose it wisely.

Unfortunately, I sometimes think it's going the same direction here. People complete the Disney College of Knowledge and lay claim that they are a 'Disney Specialist'!! Not so..takes years of 1st hand experience and selling it before you have enough information under your belt to do it justice IMO...
