FAA instruction in Canada
 

Hi this is my first post here. I feel someone who is versed in Canadian ops would be able to answer this better, but all replies are welcome!

I am a FAA CFI who has worked in the USA as a flight instructor. Currently, I am working for a company in Canada who I do a little bit of for within the USA. I usually fly SR-22's. I have been asked by company personal about providing flight training while we go on our business trips to the USA. I know that I can provide flight training within the USA only in US registered aircraft and I have been working with AFSP to set things up. However, my question is what are the possibilities of conducting flight training in Canada (Departing and Arriving at canadian airports) under a FAA license in a USA registered aircraft to a Canadian student for the purpose of getting their USA private and instrument certificates? I have talked to the FAA and they don't have an issue with it, however, I have not been able to reach Canadian authorities on this subject and they fail to return my calls. This is my first attempt at providing instruction as an individual CFI. Does anyone know what the implications are with Canada here and what I need to do or where to look to find out if this is legal in Canada? Is this even possible?
I also have my Canadian CPL and IFR and wondering what are the possibilities of giving instruction in an C-registered aircraft within Canada? I am pretty sure I know the answer since I don't have my Canadian flight instructor licenses. But doesn't hurt to ask. :)

If you are conducting training in a US based aircraft for a US based flight school, then the nationality of your student should be irrelevant. IMHO, the only concern you should have when crossing the border is that you and they have the right to enter both countries and be able to prove for whom it is you are working.

The student nationality is an issue, because of tsa clearance for non usa citizen students. On the other hand, getting a canadian licence by virtue of reciprocity arrangements should be fairly simple, and nothing to stop you teaching faa sylabus provided you operate within the canadian rules.

Good point. Obviously you would need to obey Canada's rules of the air but the regulations pertaining to Canadian flight schools do not apply.

Small point, when dealing with flight training in Canada drop the "CFI" title, North of the border this means "Chief Flying Instructor", a small point I know but a few years ago this caused a problem when dealing with the Feds who acused us of having three "CFI"s, when in fact we had only one and two obtaining their Canadian tickets!

I am a Canadian Citizen and payments will be form Canadian entities. I am not so much worried about that as I am with the possibility of and FAA instructor who possesses a Canadian CPL but not a Canadian flight instructor certificate giving instruction in a C-registered aircraft. The thing is, the student is going for a FAA private license and not a Canadian license. Our goal is not to complete all training within Canada but only on occasion if possible. :)
