I'm a Canadian citizen (Vancouver, BC) who wants to train for CPL[H] and CFII and IFR in the United States (Quantum Helicopters, Arizona).

If I get all my visas, green cards, and permits to live/train/work in the USA, how can I use my FAA issued CPL[H] as a Canadian equivalent if I wish to return home to work in Canada, after my training?

As training of this sort seems to be way cheaper down south, I want to know how easily applicable that same training will be here, in terms of official licenses and documents. Is there a special Canadian test I should take after returning home, or will my existing FAA license be sufficient to work in Canada, aswell as the USA, where it will be issued?

Shouldn't be too complicated, jsut make sure you meet the hour requirements for both. From there it's probably do the TC written and flight test and you're all set.

I can't imagine the two licence requirements being all that different, then again what do I know? Especially about helicopters.:rolleyes:
