Application processing time for CPL license
I'm just wondering if anyone could share their experience on obtaining a license from transport Canada?
I wrote the required written exams to convert my FAA CPL license to a Canadian one almost 3 weeks ago - I've paid all the fees and was told to wait until they call me to pick up my license.
What's the normal wait time for a license issue up here?

Wow! So transport Canada will sit on my logbooks for 30 days - that's outrageous! I was expecting a couple of weeks at the most.
In the States I'm used to receive a temporary license on the spot, and then wait for the permanent one to arrive in the mail.
I'm in Edmonton - hopefully it won't take that long. Thanks for your reply

cegeland, if you had a canadian private licence then it would have been signed off by the AP (authorized person) who you submitted your application to.
If you are in a hurry for a reason call the person who is processing your licence and explain to them why you are in a hurry and they will often process it that day.
When i got my ATPL it was processed the same day it was received, just had to tell them i had a job offer that depended on it.
Having said that, edmonton is currently very backed up and a lot of stuff is going to winnipeg. I would not count on seeing your logbooks back for 60 to 90 days.
