Air travel in Canada with a medical implant

score:5

These days security personnel are trained for it, and it's a lot more common. So common, in fact, that the Canadian government has an entire page on it:

Travelling with a Medical Device

Check with your doctor before flying to make sure it is safe for you to go through the metal detector at the security checkpoint. Always carry documents that support your medical condition.

Essentially, a simple letter from your doctor/surgeon describing the surgery, the implant, and whether or not you're able to go through the scanners for safety reasons will be adequate. Ideally have it on his letterhead, just in case they need to call him (although that's unlikely).

Additional source: I have (several) medical implants too and travelled last year in Canada.
