15 knot LVO crosswind limit in Canada?

Hi,

Our US Ops spec has a 15 knot crosswind limit for LVO approaches in the FAA ops spec. We have many Canadian airfield as entroute / ETOPS alternates, but don’t fly there .

Does Canada have a similar reduction from the 787 standard 15 knot limit?

Thanks

Google search AI “Low visibility operations Canada crosswind limits” Result
There is further info and references too.
This will allow you to find official truth.
Further down the page it made reference that the limits should / shall be in the Company Operations Manual or equivalent document.


Crosswind Limits for Low Visibility Approaches (CAT II/III)
The standard crosswind limits for precision instrument approaches in low visibility (CAT II and CAT III) are as follows:
  • Standard Limit: The Manual of All Weather Operations (TP 1490) originally set a regulatory limit of 10 knots for the crosswind component on the landing runway.
  • Updated Exemption: Transport Canada has issued exemptions that allow operators to use the maximum crosswind limit specified in the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM)for CAT II/III approaches.
  • Default if Not Specified: If the AFM does not specify a limit for CAT II/III approaches, the maximum allowable crosswind is 15 knots, or a lesser amount if restricted by equipment or runway conditions.
