Converting to a Canadian license is simple if you are the holder of a license obtained in a ICAO member country. You will have to pass a medical exam by an approved Transport Canada physician in order to receive a medical certificate. Furthermore, you must pass two written exams, one on Canadian regulations and another on radio procedures.

You will then receive a Canadian license if you meet these requirements:

• a minimum of 45 hours total time
• 5 hours of instrument time (simulated or actual)
• a 150 nautical mile pilot in command cross-country flight which includes 3 stops

For further information on these procedures or to convert another type of license or rating, please contact Richard Laporte at (514) 217-2041 or by email at rlaporte@cargair.com.
