[rdr]

Hi chaps,
can anyone let me know how to go about converting an ICAO to a Canadian ATPL ?

I would also like to know about converting a JAA ATPL to canadian atpl if anyone knows a short answer!

I d ont think you may convert a JAA to a Canadian (ATPL)
You will have to write the Atpl exams and do a flight test
In fact it is the same for a Canadian to convert to a JAA
Only the FAA can convert to a Canadian and vice-versa
But you may do some search with Google and maybe contact them directly

Hi guys,

I wanted to know what's the procedure to convert my flight Instructors rating from South African CAA to canadian.

Thanks for any info.

Flight Instructor Ratings will not convert, but if you hold an instructor rating from a contracting state - not sure if SA counts - some of the ground school hour requirement may be waived. Keep in mind you still will need to convert your license to a TC CPL or ATPL to have a license on which to attach the rating.

More info here (see section 7 for Credits for Foreign Applicants):

Thank you surveytheworld. :ok:

SA comes under the ICAO contracting state, that I am sure.
