Hey all, i hold and FAA ATPL and I am looking to get as much info as possible so I can get my FAA Converted to a Canadian CPL with an IR, maybe even a ATPL with IR etc.

There is some talk of them doing a direct exchange but I believe the process has stalled. Best check with TC.

Otherwise, 2 sets of exams, some flying and a check ride. I believe you can take the IR straight off if you have an ICAO one.

I converted my FAA CPL A to Canadian a couple of years ago. An hour long 20 question exam with 60% to pass. The same for the IR. No flying involved. I believe the ATPL is the same. I dont think their converting helicopter yet.

Pat,

As I understand it you are going to need ME time to get the ATPL H in Canada. Straight validation for the CPL isnt far away.

You could do the writtens and flight test however and sort it once and for all.

From one of my moles in TC:

Apparently we’re waiting on the FAA legal team to review the licence exchange documentation. Hopes are that we should have something in the first half of next year.

You need someone like Aerocourse to guide you through the mistakes in some training materials

FAA to TCCA Rotorcraft Helicopter

So what's the latest concerning FAA to TCCA conversion for the Rotorcraft category? Will it finally come through this year?

They are currently having problems finding someone to do the drafting due to lack of staff within TC
