That's FAA to Transport Canada. This is TC to FAA

Because we like our neighbors to the north and they like us the FAA and TC have a special deal. You fill out a form so the FAA can check with TC and find out what kind of license you have. You pass a FAA medical and a short differences written, set up an appointment at a FAA office or with a DE the FAA has authorized to do Canadian conversions and you get your FAA certificate.
To get the right to work outside a limited time instructing you'll need a "green card."
