Sorry but the first thought that popped into my head was their 'apocolyptic future space movie' section in the beginning of 'Strange Brew':

This is not the first time. Here's CSA's astronaut history page.
It looks like they don't have a continuous search for candidates. But; that makes sense to me when you consider the training that is necessary. It's (generally) easier and cheaper to train in groups.

Think this everytime I see the post, so might as well say it: I hope Hayden Christensen signs up. He could be Hollywood actor AND astronaut.{{whistle!}} Go baby! Rrrrrrrr!
Give us all the eye candy you can, Hayden honey...

No, I should seriously move to Canada. Or can I be an american and qualify?

you can always pretend to be from Canada next time you are in Europe or the Middle East.. it might make your trip more pleasurable.

I should have said "B.Sc." I'm in a B.A.H program on course for an L.L.B.
Also, since we rely on NASA launches to get our guys and gals up there, there's a bit of negotiating going on. The Canadarm system was our ticket to get people on the shuttles, so we trained a group once we had delivered those. The Canadarm 2 system is our next ticket, so it's time to train a new group.This is not the first time. Here's CSA's astronaut history page.
