Recency in the US with TCCA license
Hi guys,
I hold a Canadian CPL with Multi-IFR, my recency lapsed by the time I managed to pass the DGCA exams. I planned on going back to Canada for my recency, but for some strange reason my visa was refused twice. Now I plan on going to the U.S as I already have a B1/B2 which they say is sufficient for recency. I contacted various schools and I keep getting conflicting answers and so decided to ask here.
1. Will the DGCA accept recency in the U.S with a license converted from Canada
2. Do I need a TSA clearence
3. I have 30hrs on a PA-34. Is it ok to do my recency on the duchees.
4. How long does the conversion normally take. I've heard answers from 1 week to 4 months.
I've done my research but could you guys suggest some good schools in the U.S for recency.
thanks in advance.

Respected Sir,
1. Yes DGCA will accept it they are not concerned weather u do it in India, USA ,Canada or even Mars
. I know a person who just did the opposite of what you are doing and he is working with Jet now.
2. To do any flying in USA u need a TSA clearance.
(TSA clearance is a srs thing).
3. BE-76 is okay but do 3 hrs on Seneca GFT by Day/ GFT night/ IR 2 approaches (if Multi-IR is requested)
Piece of advice*
Sir try and finish up fast coz dgca is changing n twisted rules everyday, every hour.

1. Yes you can.
2. TSA clearance(for single, multi and Instrument) are definitely required and this can take a month at least.
3. No you have to do your recency/checks on the multi you wish to be endorsed. Unless you're willing to do a minimum of 10hrs on the duchess, you're better off on the Seneca.
4. Current waiting times for issue of a license is an average of 3.5 months.
Hope this helps.
