Default Flying to Canada in experimental

I am interested in flying to Canada from US in my experimental (after
winter). Two questions.

1. I already got a copy of Transport Canada "STANDARDISED VALIDATION OF
A SPECIAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE - EXPERIMENTAL,....." permit.

But section 9 says "except when otherwise directed by Air Traffic
Control, or in the event of an emergency, all flights shall be
conducted to avoid areas having heavy air traffic and to avoid cities,
towns, villages, and congested areas, or any other area where the
flights might create hazardous exposure to persons or property"
US experimental AW allow you overflight for purpose of landing at an
airport. What about flying over a town into a non towered airport in
Canada?

2. What term do you use for an experimental? In US it would be
"Experimental N21Q5". In Canada do you announce yourself with
Experimental or "what"?

The regulation is an extremely general motherhood statement. The key
phrase is "Where the flights might create a hazardous exposure to
persons or property." You can fly a homebuilt anywhere a certified
airplane can go as long as you don't endanger people on the ground,
which is pretty much the same rule that applies to cert airplanes. I
don't think the restriction against flying over built up areas except
for landing that applies in the US is applicable here.

Experimentals in Canada are officially amateur builts. When you first
call up atc, you usually first off just give your ident, like "xxx
tower, this is November two one quebec five", when tower responds with
"November... xxx tower, go ahead" , you give your details like "One
quebec five is an amateur built Q2 on a VFR flight plan from xxx. We are
twelve miles NW at 2, inbound, landing, with information alpha"... or
something like that. You can say homebuilt also and probably atc would
not complain if you said experimental.

If it's something exotic they like to know how fast you're cruising as
well.
