IFR Take Off Limits?

We all know standard take off limits in Canada is RVR2600 or 1/2 sm for private operations in Canada for a "C" registered aircraft.

In the US (Part 91) they are whatever you want them to be. Does anyone have any references (legal) that specifies what the take off limits are for a US aircraft (Part 91) operating in Canada. I would consider the Part 91 definition of take off limits as an OPS Spec for the US aircraft operating in Canada but cannot find any legal definitions. Anyone care to add?

I'm certainly not up to date on Part 91 regs, but I do know that when the Canadian airline I fly with is operating in the US, we are restricted to the US regulations. I would suspect it would be the same for a US aircraft operating in Canada. Alot of airlines here have op specs allowing operation at a lower vis for takeoff but you would likely have to apply for it. I don't have any regs to back that up but if you do a google search for the CARS (Canadian Aviation Regulations) you may find your answer. Of course you'll likely need a lawyer to help you read them!!

The good part is that this time of the year the weather is rarely below 2600 RVR anyway!

You have to use the more restrictive regs therefore if you are limited to 2600 in the USA, then use that in canada, if canada allows rvr 1200-600 etc... and you are in the states where the limits are 1600 then 1600 is what you use.
clear as mud i'm sure

2) When within a foreign country, comply with the regulations relating to the flight and maneuver of aircraft there in force;
