A certificate [license] issued on the basis of a US
certificate in Canada would have the same ratings that are
on the certificate you hold. It cannot be amended. It will
probably be limited to non-commercial operations [if based
on a commercial].
You can get a full license in the USA or Canada, using
experience from one or both countries and that license can
be amended only by a Form 8710, instructor sign off and
flight test. But the hours and such can be counted.
For example, if you have a US CP ASEL and go to Canada, they
can issue a license based on the commercial you hold with
those same rating and it will probably have the
limitation --Private privileges only--.
If you want a seaplane rating, you need to get a complete
issue of a Canadian license or take your flight test from a
USA CFI [who could be in Canada]. Once your base license is
amended, you can get a new --based on-- license with the new
ratings.


Canada can't amend a USA certificate and the USA can't amend
a Canadian certificate.

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

the south shore.
| Very nice folks and very well maintained aircraft. Also
a very nice

gear set up so

knock off by noon or
| the forest will be too dry and present a fire hazard.
|
| Oh, you meant a different kind of logging...
|
| If you get the seaplane rating on your Canadian license,
you just go to
| an American FSDO and apply for a new certificate. The
reciprocal
| agreements apply both ways. The time you fly in a
Candadian aircraft
| applies for advanced ratings in the US.
|
| Further questions probably should be directed to the
FSDO as to the
| actual mechanics of it.
|
| I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK, I work all night and I sleep
all day ...
| Oh, not that kind of logging
|
| Thanks for the info.
