I had heard that in Canada the common VFR approach to a landing pattern at an uncontrolled field was from the upwind side, across the airfield center to the downwind. This seems to be born out by the following info found on the internet:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/Publications/en/TP11541/PDF/HR/TP11541E.pdf
It also appears from these links that the standard US 45 is OK, and just about any other approach to these airports is also OK. I couldn't quite tell if the arrow from the approach end was showing a straight in or an overhead pattern. Am I reading this right, or is the actual situation different? Canadian comments Please - and thanks.
