The CARS recognize military wings standards as meeting all requirements to qualify for commercial license except to have to write the commercial exam.

“8) Credits for Canadian Forces Applicants
(amended 2006/12/14)

Active and retired Canadian Forces personnel who have qualified to pilot aeroplane wings standard are considered to have met the ground school instruction requirement, the written examination requirement, the skill requirement and the requirement to hold a Private Pilot Licence, if the applicant:
(amended 2006/12/14)

(a) has met the flight time requirements specified in paragraph (4)(a) of which a minimum of 10 hours flight time was acquired in aeroplanes in the 12 months preceding the date of application; and
(amended 2006/12/14)
(b) obtains a minimum of 60% in the written examination Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) Air Law, Air Traffic Rules and Procedures (ARPCO).
(amended 2006/12/14)”

Pretty clear no other flying hours required.

Military pilots are not exempt from the experience requirement though. That's what the discussion is about.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship
