Thanks for sharing. Based on my knowledge, ICAO ATPL doesn’t exist or they aren’t issued by ICAO. If that’s correct, how would student pilots get their ATPL in Canada? If they could, how many theory exams are required?
ICAO is an international standard, so you are correct they don’t issue licenses. The countries where you train will issue the license. In Canada that’s Transport Canada and there are 2 exams to pass the ATPL
How complicated is the conversion from my Canadian license to EASA? What about Middle East? Since Middle East doesn’t have much flight training going on there either
@@AviatorInspirations I have Canadian licensing and would like to fly somewhere else like Europe because at CPL level they are flying Airbus and Boeing (obviously they have 14 ATPL) but still at 200 hours they are doing that meanwhile here we can’t do that
Yes of course! You have to contact transport Canada for the process. Although there are a lot more flying opportunities in the US than there are in Canada right now.
@@AviatorInspirations Sure, thank you... It is my pleasure that I could connect to established aviators like you. About me- I am a prospective immigrant from India, hoping to come to Canada this year. I have already begun online ground school, will start my practicals late this year.
Captain. Thank you very much for your videos. I hope to start the fixed wing program Pilot in just two weeks in Canada 🇨🇦. I’m just still waiting for the student visa approval. 😅
Got a little confused by saying ICAO license because I thought that was a UN agency under treaty that allows pilots who have issued licence from their home civil aviation authority to operate their own flagged aircraft while traveling abroad. If a US FAA ATP landed in Canada and there was no ICAO membership, the aircraft would be grounded. Isn't FAA under ICAO like Transport Canada? Sorry I may have missed your point.
Yes you are correct, ICAO is the world wide training standard, that other countries use to train their local pilots. I didn’t want to confuse everyone by going too deep with the certifications and politics, just the general idea of how licensing works.
I just have a question , how to do a conversion from CAA cpl to EASA cpl ? And how much does it costs ? If there is no specific cost , please give me a range of it . Thank you .
Hi Yaro, thanks for the brilliant content! Very informative in an objective way. I'm looking for an integrated ATPL program in Canada in a decent school with an efficient pace (18 months or less.. yes I'm willing to put 150% of time/effort into it). I'm wondering whether the weather across provinces is crucial to meet this requirement, or it's the same across Canada from a flying perspective and it would be wiser to target a decent school regardless its location. Any advice in this regard? Many thanks in advance.
Weather windows will average out across Canada. It’s not like Florida where one place has more sun than others. Check out my international pilot training video, I talk about Canada there. I can’t recommend a singular school (I have a video on how to pick a school), but I would choose the one you like, that has good customer service, and the shortest waiting list (some schools have a 1yr waitlist).
So, do the pilots who go for long hauls, for example from Canada to Asia, need to have separate local licenses to wherever they fly to? If yes, they just get it without any hassle by doing the conversion process right?
@@AviatorInspirations So, an ICAO pilot needs to get FAA/EASA license only if they want to work permanently in the US/Europe. Flying once in a while overseas as part of the duty, the foreign license is not required - which is the responsibility of the company. Is it that way?
Hi Yaro, Thank you for collating such amazing, to the point content. Would be great if you could add visual cues about the main pointers that you discuss. :)
Hi, thanks for the video it was quite informative. I was wondering, am I able to do my PPL in Ireland (an EASA approved country) then continue to get my CPL and ATPL in Canada? Or do I need my PPL, CPL and ATPL to be approved by the same regulatory body?

If you don't have the money to become a commercial pilot at all then is it possible for a one to become commercial pilot, by taking loan or something if so can you show the pathway, Kind regards
Hello sir, You're an amazing content creator and I had one simple question yet that happens to be the main hurdle for me ... I am indian and I wanna fly for the rest of my life in USA. So can an Indian become a pilot in USA by going through all there FAA exams.
Yes, you can and it is quite easy as well. I am from the US, and have now recently become a Permanent Resident of Canada, and I am going through the exact *opposite* process (that is converting my FAA Commercial and Instrument to the Transport Canada version). The FAA and Transport Canada signed a bilateral agreement to accept each other's licenses and easily convert them with only a simple written exam, that highlights the small "AIR LAW" and other "GENERAL RULES" that are different between the 2 countries (they are called a "differences test"). However you will have to write one exam, for each license or rating you convert. For example, I have to write 2 exams here in Canada (the FAA-CA for my Commercial Certificate conversion and the FAA-IA for my instrument rating conversion). Now, that said, while it is very simple *ON PAPER,* as a matter of converting the licenses in a practical sense, there is a lot of "red tape" and bureaucratic "paperwork" stuff, that you will have to go through. Expect at least a good 4 to 6 months for the conversion process!! I learned that the HARD WAY! Something I thought would be "so simple" and assumed I could get done in a month or so!! Here are some of the issues I ran into: * They will have to verify the authenticity of your certificate or license, and it can take a while for the agencies to "communicate" with one another!! *Calculating "flight hours" can become a nightmare. For example, in the US I can log all post-PPL hours as PILOT-IN-COMMAND hours, as long as I was the "sole manipulator of the controls", even when I'm receiving instruction (dual). They don't allow this in Canada. In Canada they count "PIC night" hours, whereas in the US we have no such thing! I have had to go through all of my 420 hours and recalculate them to satisfy Transport Canada!! These are just 2 examples, but there are a few more like this! So while it does appear extremely easy and straightforward in theory, there are tons of "little time consuming steps" one has to go through!! Another option for some people is, something called "FOREIGN BASED LICENSE VALIDATION", but it is only good for a limited time: like 6 months or 1 year, and you only get private privileges, and you have to carry your FAA certificate and FAA medical with you at all times, and you cannot pursue additional flight training with this, either. But this process is extremely easy to do (both in US and Canada). I just took my certificate to Transport Canada office and showed them my FAA license, and they immediately gave me a certificate to fly Canadian registered aircraft. This was great, so I could keep my flying skills sharp while I wait for the full conversion!
Neither, I think they have their own. EASA is probably easier since you are already on that side of the world, but with the covid pandemic, I’m not sure how the schools are doing and if they are open
Yes China seems to be a member of ICAO, therefore you should be able to follow the process described in the video. Best to start by contacting Transport Canada and see if they have any updated restrictions or limitations. Good luck!
The skills portion is you passing an IFR flight test here in Canada on a multi-engine airplane. So once you started the application, got your log book hours accepted, passed the written exams, the last portion in the conversion is the flight test.
I have seen zero pilots with turbans in Canada, so I can’t honestly answer why that is. Companies don’t have specific guidelines that you cannot wear it, and they don’t discriminate either. Perhaps it could be a challenge wearing your headset, but that’s just a guess
Hey yaro, I am really waiting for your videos, I am future aviator, I really have some questions about my pilot studies and medical clearance, and I am in Canada too in Vancouver so if you can help me please please
ERROR ALERT!!!! There is NO SUCH THING AS A "PILOT'S LICENSE" in the US!!! It's a Certificate, NOT, repeat NOT, a "License"!!! Licenses and Certificates are two very different legal documents!!! (Do you not realize how it damages your overall credibility when you don't even refer to a pilot's primary document by its correct name!?!??!)
Hello Yaro! Your videos are amazing, I always look forward to them.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you have specific questions or confusions about the industry 👍🏻
Awesome video Yaro, I’m currently in the process of converting my FAA licence to ICAO/TCCA. Right on time. Cheers mate. 🇨🇦
Awesome, happy my video helped! It’s a long bureaucratic process, so just be prepared for it to take around 6months.
can i have your mobile number

Yes, it's call instrument rating and multi-engine rating

All bureaucracy is complicated. But it’s not impossible if you want to fly in Canada.

Is it possible to convert FAA flight instructor license(multi-engine) into the equivalent Canadian license?
Yes of course! You have to contact transport Canada for the process. Although there are a lot more flying opportunities in the US than there are in Canada right now.
Quite informative, thanks for explaining the differences. It definitely was new knowledge to me.
Fantastic, happy it helped! Let me know if you have other questions or confusions about the industry 👍🏻

Can you please make a video about pilot lisences and conversions in New Zealand
Hello, sir can you please explain about type rating and any career benefits with a type rating in a particular aircraft
In Canada you do not pay for a type rating, that is the responsibility of the company that hires you.
Can I fly with my EASA PPL license as tourist in USA/Canada?
Can you please make a video about aircraft maintenance engineer license difference in faa, easa and icao.
I just have a question , how to do a conversion from CAA cpl to EASA cpl ?

Hi please I’m in the Middle East so what is the best license should I get and where I should study
So, do the pilots who go for long hauls, for example from Canada to Asia, need to have separate local licenses to wherever they fly to? If yes, they just get it without any hassle by doing the conversion process right?
No they do not, whether the airplane can land in a particular country is the responsibility of the company.

How is it related to Europe?
Hi Yaro,
Thank you for collating such amazing, to the point content.
Would be great if you could add visual cues about the main pointers that you discuss. :)
Sir plz tell is it necessary to have maths and physics in your higher school study im really in need to know this .Thanku sir.

@@AviatorInspirations thanku so much sir❤means alot

From what I understand you will need it on the same regulatory body, so all EASA or FAA etc...(at least for the airlines!)

Can CAAC licenses convert into Canadian licenses?

I still have a question about section 421.34, para. (5) ,how should i do to meet the skill requirement?
The skills portion is you passing an IFR flight test here in Canada on a multi-engine airplane. So once you started the application, got your log book hours accepted, passed the written exams, the last portion in the conversion is the flight test.
Hey Yaro, Actually I Wear A Turban And I Wanted That Are Turban Wearing Candidates Allowed To Fly As A Pilot In Your Company
I have seen zero pilots with turbans in Canada, so I can’t honestly answer why that is. Companies don’t have specific guidelines that you cannot wear it, and they don’t discriminate either. Perhaps it could be a challenge wearing your headset, but that’s just a guess
