One other thing to think about- places like Money Mark offer a photo ID service. Not sure how well it would be received at an airport; but last time I was in Money Mart (back in my broke university days) the guys who were coming in to get that ID card made were people who said they needed it to visit somebody in prison.
Also, did your buddy get Alberta health right away too, or does he still have his OHIP card? Because the OHIP card has a photo on it.
Yeah, I agree the entire "wait for us to mail it to you" rule now is silly. Instead of taking the DMVs that were making fake IDs and sending the owners to jail for 10 years, they decided it was better to break the system.
