US Citizen flying for commercial purposes in Canada

Posted by Shane Busenitz on January 13, 2017 at 12:11pm

I am new to the forum, but haven't seen this topic discussed.

I work for a US company and am a US citizen who is wanting to fly a UAV for survey purposes at our sites in the US and Canada. I have read that I need to have my part 107 and will need to apply for a SFOC to fly in Canada. Has anyone experienced this? Am I looking at longer wait times for approval?

You will also need a visa to come to Canada to do work or the border agents will send you back home.
