Sport Pilot flying to Canada

Does anyone know if a private pilot flying under the sport pilot rules (no
medical), flying an experimental plane meeting the LSA rules can fly to and
within Canada?

The simple answer: No
----------------------------
§61.315 What are the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?

(c) You may not act as pilot in command of a light-sport aircraft:
[....]
(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.

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.

While this is true the "Holder does not meet ICAO requirements" statement
would still be the case of a PP operating under the LSP rules without a
medical.

FAR 61.303 says that if you do not have a medical but hold at least a
Recreational Pilot license, you must comply with the limitations in
61.315...which includes the ban on flying outside the US.
