How do I receive a foreign licence validation?
To receive a licence validation certificate, you must go to a Transport Canada office and bring your foreign licence, other identification, a Canadian medical certificate, proof that you have both fulfilled the flight time requirements of the Canadian private licence and have completed five takeoffs and landings in the last six months, and the licensing fee. Proof of the flight requirements should consist of your logbook, and charts or other means of showing that you have completed a 150 nm cross country trip. You will then be required to write the PSTAR test of Canadian air regulations, and earn a mark of at least 90 percent. If all your paperwork is in order you should receive your licence validation certificate the same day. In case anything has changed since I wrote this, read the letter of the law in CARS Standard 421.
