Canada is a signatory so your USA medical should be valid.
INSTRUCTION RECEIVED from a licensed instructor in a
signatory nation applies and any time you fly counts as
experience, See Part 61.


CANADIAN FLIGHT Rules are quite different as to required
flight plans, altitudes and emergency equipment. Be sure to
follow their rules when north of the border.

| Hi all. I've been reading this group for a while, but this
is my first
| post here.
|
| I have a US PPL, and I travel to Montreal frequently on
business. I went
| over to the Montreal Flying Club at St. Hubert last week
to see about
| flying in Canada. Evidently, under reciprocal agreements,
I can easily
| get a Canadian license. Basically all I need are a
Canadian medical and
| a short written test.
|
| While I was there, I made a short flight up the St.
Lawrence with one of
| their instructors. I did all the flying, but I have logged
it as dual,
| but of course the tail number is a "C-....". The question
is, what are
| the rules regarding the time logged under a foreign
license? Can it be
| applied for requirements for advanced ratings on the US
side? Or does
| time in a "C-...." only apply for Canadian ratings?
|
| Also, if I were to get a Canadian license, then a seaplane
rating on it,
| for example, would the seaplane rating apply for my US
license? Can I
| get both upgraded at the same time?
|
| By the way, if you are ever in Montreal, I can highly
recommend a stop
| by the Montreal Flying Club at St. Hubert airport on the
south shore.
| Very nice folks and very well maintained aircraft. Also a
very nice
| little airport.

| Regards,
| Austin
