Interesting Canadian Quirk
Interestingly the first time I flew in canada I held a PPL/IMC and got a Foreign License Verification Certificate (FLVC) so I could hire over there. On it was the following wording: Provided the foreign license is valid under the law of the issuing State, this Validation Certificate is valid for private recreational purposes on Canadian registered aircraft in accordance with the privileges of the United Kingdom.
I queried this with Transport Canada, explained that the IMC is a sub-ICAO rating and their response was that the wording is quite clear; you can do anything the license and ratings permit you to do in your home State. Go figure!
