If You Are Planning To Fly In Canada Rules Change
Just a heads up when the border finally opens and those of you who fly/attend events in Canada MAAC has changed it's policy/rules regarding flyers from outside Canada. First you must purchase a MAAC membership. They will be offering a temporary as well as a full year option. The old reciprocal agreement is no longer acceptable in Canada.
The Temporary Foreign Membership application form is for all non-Canadians, not just Americans. Under this membership an American who is not an AMA member might join for the 3-month period. If an American takes the full MAAC membership, they must show their AMA number so that we can validate current membership. In all cases MSD 25 must be adhered to. The membership includes our liability insurance coverage, but only while flying in Canada. The form allows the non-Canadian member to indicate a start date (their planned arrival in Canada probably) and the expiry date will be 90 days later. We chose the 90-day period because some come for more than a weekend and we know that some Americans hold cottage or other property here. This is the link to the MAAC site and you should be able to print your membership as soon as you sign up. https://secure.maac.ca/members/en/foreign_join.php
Here is a link to the signed exemption for MAAC and its members in good standing Exemption%20-%20Signed.pdf
This is the guidance as set out by Transport Canada Exemption%20Guidance%20Material.pdf

There is a PDF of the RPAS Competency Demonstration Requirement or MSD 25
