Oktas8 in Canada we can instruct licensed pilots without having to hold a flight instructors rating for the following.
Seaplane ratings.
Multi engine ratings.
Instrument ratings.
Type ratings.
Check outs on any airplane you are qualified on such as tail wheel airplanes.
I have been giving training on all of the above since I let my Canadian Instructors Rating lapse in 1965.
You have to hold a minimum of a commercial license with the required times on each type of training you are teaching toward.
For whatever it is worth I do hold licenses to do type ratings issued by C.A.S.A.( Australia ) South African C.A.A. and under JAR in Europe.
I consider my self a flight instructor based on the above.
