airplane ownership
Greetings,
I would like to know if foreigners can own a C- registered airplane in Canada.
Anybody who knows the regulations about it?
Thanks in advance

The more precise regulation you'll be looking for is 202.15 in the referenced CAR's. In short, the aircraft must be owned by a Canadian citizen, or a Canadian corporation. You'll probably find that a Canadian corporation requires some Canadian ownership. I know non Canadians who have owned a Canadian corporation, with minor Canadian citizen participation ownership, to enable them to own a Canadian registered aircraft.

In short, the only path to aircraft ownership for foreigners in Canada is to have a corporation which involves minor Canadian participation and ultimately register the aircraft under the corporation name?
That's convoluted. Why make this specifically hard for aircraft ownership and not for, e.g., cars?

Perhaps registering the aircraft in another country might be a workaround worth investigating. Why does GA red-tape have to be such a pain pretty much anywhere worth flying?
