Very nice information, thanks for sharing

Excellent information - thanks for posting

What you did not point out is that "only Canadian citizens can register a drone or take the pilot tests".  In a nutshell foreign drone pilots are not welcome in Canada.

Non-Canadians can get an SFOC if needed, but no blanket use as far as I know.

Thanks for sharing this informative thread to our valued DJI Forum members. Cheers!
