If you have the gear and know how to hunt geese in fields, it's not that hard.
I'd recommend low profile layout blinds and learn how to stuff them well, even in Canada the hide is very important.
I prefer running silos instead of full bodies. Less space in the truck and set up and take down is much quicker. 10 dozen is a good size.
Buy a platt map that shows land owners. Find any area with lots of water and agriculture, birds will be there. Once you find a good field (our criteria is 2,000+ birds), find the landowner on the platt map and then the local phone book. Nicely ask for permission and most of the time you'll get it.
The biggest thing is just to go up and try it out. You'll probably do OK for two days of a week trip, strike out twice and have an incredible day your first year. Your second year, you'll have a much better idea of where birds roost and how to hunt them up there.
