Foregin Pilot Certification

If you are a foreign operator (that is, you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident) and you want to fly any drone (>250g) within Canadian airspace you must have a

• Canadian drone license (either basic or advanced depending on where you plan to fly – see below for further clarification) and
• an approved SFOC (special flight operations certificate) 

For basic operations, you will need to pass the online exam to receive your Pilot Certificate – Basic operations. 

For advanced operations, you will need to:

• pass the online exam for advanced operations
• complete a flight review and apply for your Pilot Certificate – Advanced operations.

We provide comprehensive online courses to guide you through the Transport Canada requirements and help you prepare for either the Basic or Advanced online exams. You can complete our courses anywhere in the world and also complete the TC online exam anywhere. This will greatly speed up the process of obtaining your SFOC ahead of arrival into Canada.

Save yourself time and complete this course and exam before you arrive in Canada in order to speed up the process of obtaining your SFOC to operate in Canada as a foreign pilot. Pre-book your flight reviews with us too at any of our Canadian locations

We have an extensive network of flight reviewers across Canada and would be happy to assist in your review process
