The AOPA Canada briefing summary says a Radiotelephone Operator's
permit is required for flight into Canada. I did some checking at the
FCC website and it appears that the cost for this piece of paper is
$100. Or am I looking at the wrong piece of paper. Flying is
admittedly expensive, but this seems too much for what appears to be a
pretty trivial document.

My wife is pilot and is from Canada. We live in the US. We own two different
aircraft and average four trips to the Calgary area from the States each year.
In about 20 trans-border flights, the Canadians have never asked to see an ROP.

They routinely ask for:
Registration
Pilot's Licence
Medical
Proof of Insurance.

They always ask if we are carrying firearms...
