Re: Anyone who has shipped a dog to canada
Cripes, thats no good, we wanted to minimize the amount of time apart/away from our cat by being on the same flight. I'd be worried no end if she got lost (like has happened to a couple of our suitcases in the past) somewhere during a flight transfer or just not being on the same flight as us 
They're not, are they? Same heated, pressurised, darkened hold as the flight you're likely on - just drop off and pick up from cargo depot instead of handing them over/collecting at the oversized luggage bit yourself. At least that's what's happened to people whose pets have gone "cargo" before. It refers to the handling (and the price, hah
) rather than the plane afaik.

Their cargo division's always been called Air Canada Cargo and has always offered pet transtportation as a service, only difference is now there's no DIY route. There won't be separate planes of pooches from the UK flying around, it'll be the same plane as you're on where possible

I believe some clarification is required.

Re: Anyone who has shipped a dog to canada
We bought our dogs over in May - they are 12 and 15 so were very worried. The flight was a bit of an ordeal for them but they both love it here and the 15 year old has a real spring in his step again (the other one has always been too springy anyway!)
