Who cares. It's Air Canada's business and it is their plane, do what they want with it!!

Actually, it's unusual enough that I'd be kind of interested to hear the story myself, regardless of who owns the aircraft.

Isnt there a rather large maintenance/overhaul/paint shop their? perhaps some modifications? Maybe a subchapter before it's all dolled up? About a billion reasons...

For seat installation!

Reading that it is awaiting it's seats, and the aircraft was moved from Paine Field due to space limitations. Unsure if seats are being installed at VCV or the aircraft will return to Paine Field when the seats are ready to be installed.

Boeing Victorville is a big facility.
If AC is installing upgrades to 'connectivity'...Inflight entertainment and internet systems, this is where it is done.
Our 787s were sent here for the process
