I got my 16000km service done today and they rotated my tires...thinking back I should\'ve told them not to - winters are coming on soon anyway.

The alignment feels off now - car pulls to the left, do you need to get it redone everytime the wheels/tires come off?

A simple tire rotation will NOT require an alignment. If the wheels are of uneven wear you may experience pulling, but you really shouldnt notice it

+1 on the uneven wear...

also, check your tire pressures.

an alignment will be needed if you 1) change any of the suspension/steering components in the front, and/or supsension components in the rear (if in fact the rear suspension can be adjusted) or 2) you smack into a curb/inanimate object

rotating tires will not cause the alignment to go out of whack.
