About Panama
In the Republic of Panama to fly privately, and commercially you need to have a Panamanian license if you wish to fly aircraft with Panamanian tail numbers. In essence if you wish to fly for Copa you need your original Canadian license, make the conversion to Panamanian license and also get the required work permits.
Even Panamanians that went to study overseas must come back to Panama and make the conversion.
Bottom line is if you want to fly a Panamanian registered aircraft, you need a Panamanian license and you also must comply with all the legal requirements put in place by the government, work permit, immigration card, etc.
