Algonquin Flight Centre - International Students

There are hundreds of countries around the world where you can train to become a commercial airline pilot. If hundreds of countries offer flight training services, why should you train in Canada?

Canada has a reputation for training to some of the highest standards in the world. Because of the high skill and knowledge of Canadian pilot graduates, a Canadian Licence is one of the most easily transferable in the world. When you factor these high standards in with the marketability and relatively low cost of obtaining a Canadian Licence, your international training choice is simple: Canada offers the best, most reliable, and interchangeable training on the planet.

Algonquin Flight Centre has just made becoming an international flight training student in Canada very easy! We have affiliated our school with

Visitors intending to conduct flight training can apply for a 3 Month “ Limited Term Pilot Licence ” (LTPL). The requirements for the issue of the LTPL are the same as for the Foreign Licence Validation Certificate.

There is no written exam or flight test required however Transport Canada charges a $40.00 CDN fee for the LTPL. The LPTL can only be issued once a year.

Pilots that do not hold a Canadian Pilot Licence can still take pleasure in the freedom of our Canadian skies enjoyed by so many Canadian pilots.

The requirements to achieve this pleasure are easier than one might think. Foreign pilots will need the following:

A valid pilot licence endorsed with the appropriate ratings from their home country.

Foreign pilots must then apply for a 12-month “ Foreign Licence Validation Certificate ” (FLVC). This application is made with Transport Canada. For the FLVC, Transport Canada and AFC will require the following information:

	Valid Passport issued by the home country
	Certified copy of medical validity

There is no written exam or flight test required. However, Transport Canada charges a $45.00 CDN fee for the FLVC.

Algonquin Flight Centre will also require proof of experience from a certified logbook.
