Hi Dico thanks for the good wishes - Here are the confirmed Internationals for this year

Canada v Jamaica Sunday July 31st, 2011 Toronto
USA v Canada Saturday August 27th, 2011 Philadelphia
Canada v USA Sunday September 18th, 2011 Toronto
Canada v South Africa Sunday October 9th, 2011 Toronto

Unconfirmed fixtures
Wales v Canada
Scotland v Canada

Canada is currently classed as an observer nation under the watchful eye of the Rugby League European Federation (RLEF)
In order to compete in RLWC qualifiers, Canada must be an Affiliate Member of either the RLIF or RLEF so they are working closely with the RLEF to become an Affiliate Member in 2011
The hope then is that Canada will be in a strong position to qualify for the 2017 World Cup

Here is a link to the RELF website
www.rlef.eu.com/canada/introduction

I believe the World Cup qualifiers are around Oct/Nov

You are right in saying the 2 games against America could be very interesting with an already intense rivalry. Bring it on! icon_biggrin.gif

Unless its a financial reason I fail to see why they wont give you full member status immediately. With all due respects, even if it goes t!ts up, what have they lost? International credibility? I dont know. For me, I dont know why they wouldnt allow you into the qualifiers to see just how far you go

I think I'm right in saying that to gain full Affiliate Membership a Country must have to tick the correct boxes, including in this is a domestic league consisting of at least 4 teams, which is now in place.
Last year however there was only 2 teams playing rugby league and Canada were considered to have not been an observer nation for a long enough period of time.
I'm sure someone may be able to explain this a lot better than me but this is my understanding of the situation. eusa_think.gif

Anyway the plan is to get a good strong domestic league and regular internationals so Canada will be ready for the step up.

I think it stems from the Georgians at the last WCQ. They basically had no domestic league and their side were all union players. They played a couple of WCQs and then were kicked out (I think but I'm not certain). The RLIF then set some rules up so that it wasn't possible for a nation that hadn't shown any commitment to RL to enter the WCQ. I don't have a problem with the rules. They at least make sure there's some sort of development being done on the domestic front. Incidentally since the split I don't believe the FIRL (Italy) can claim to have a four team domestic league yet are still playing in the WCQ.

I can see both sides of it. Clearly Canada has a lot more expats originating from Aus/NZ/UK than many other places (like Georgia) so it is able to take root and play at a higher standard from day 1 (although not all would qualify to play for Canada). On the other hand, we have really only just started in the grand scheme of things and the timing of the World Cup is just a bit too soon for us. If we can get some regular internationals and continue to develop the club side of things then I think that is the main thing.
