"...baiting is not a give me..." Absolutely. You can sit in a blind during hunting hours for a week only to find Yogi is visiting the bait before or after hunting hours.
Where you're looking at hunting, up here, matters. For example, there is no 'Spring bear' season in Ontario. Anti's convinced an old government to end it back in 1999. There is in other Provinces. Might be too late to book a spring bear hunt for this year though
Other Provinces may or may not allow baiting. Some allow it in some areas, but not in others. The bait can be anything sweet or smelly, but you won't have to deal with it anyway.
"...hook up with a Canadian outfitter..." Yep. Required for non-residents in most Provinces. Some, but not all, allow a non-resident to hunt with a resident(called a Hunter Host in Alberta. A Hunter Host has to have a special licence with your name on the licence to do it and a bunch of other rules.) though. You'd have to look at the Hunting regs for whichever Province you're looking at. They're on-line.
Non-resident hunting licences are not cheap in most Provinces.
You'll have to deal with our firearms laws too. Starting with no handguns, of any kind, for hunting. No CCW at all.
