I found a school just over the bridges in Canada in St. Cat. thats supposed to teach Iaido, but I haven't had a chance to check them out yet.
An okuden certificate, which basically states one has learned the basics, has only been given to one westerner that I know of, somewhere in Spain, I believe.

Shoden Menkyo is typically basics. Okuden Menkyo is the higher teachings (normally before Menkyo and Menkyo Kaiden level).

Looks like WNY is sorely lacking in the Japanese blade arts. I tried a post on another forum, and the person refered me to a Kenpo school. Ok, I know they all sound alike, but still....
I came across a site today that uses "kenpo" for what most would call kenjutsu:

Follow the link for "The list of techniques" then "Kenpo".

Each level has it's own ideas and concepts to be studied. Once the student has completed a level with proficiancy (in theory), they are given a Menkyo (certificate). When all levels have been completed, the deshi receives Menkyo Kaiden (certificate of full transmission).
