Sport Pilot flying to Canada

A private pilot flying with no medical doesn't have a SP certificate. He has
a PP certificate. Someone trained through SP would have a SP certificate.

Does anyone know if a private pilot flying under the sport pilot rules

The simple answer: No

§61.315 What are the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?

(8) Outside the United States, unless you have prior authorization
from the country in which you seek to operate. Your sport
pilot certificate carries the limit "Holder does not meet ICAO
requirements."

Canada could institute some sort of policy to allow US Sport Pilots to fly
into
the country, but I haven't heard anything about it.
