Convert to Canadian CPL
 

Could anyone please assist


I would like to convert my South African ICAO CPL to a Canadian CPL:


1)Anyone no the procedure?


2)I also need a link to find out how to obtain a working permit in Canada

1. search on here / read the Transport Canada web site, eg:

Advisory Circular (AC) No. 400-003 - Transport Canada

Likely you can only do one of two things - get a private licence based on your SAA commercial if you meet the hours breakdown ( eg night hours / night training is the usual gotcha) or get a validation of your commerical if you fly for an operator. You can then convert the 'based on private' to a commercial by meeting the hours and training requirements and doing the written/flight test. You can use a good chunk of your existing training as long as your logbook is signed/stamped. In other words - you'll have to work at it. On the plus side you can walk into a TC office and discuss it all at the counter with a helpful person.

2. Forget it/marry a canadian/get a day job. What altiplano wrote.

Hi AVGAS,
I'm on the same case as you, holding South African CPL IR ME licence now i'm new to Canada, i would like to convert it to Canadian CPL. I went to Transport Canada, asked me to pass my medical class1 and 4exams (8exams in reality:cool:). I want to get some additional information and advices if you are already done with the conversion
Thank's ;)
