In Canada if you are flying the drone for recreational purposes, you do not need any special permit. But you do have certain rules to follow.

Definitely look at the Do's and Don'ts

You can always email Civil Aviation Services Atlantic - Services aviation civile atlantique [url=]CASA-SACA@tc.gc.ca[/url]
Here are the Do's
Do: - Fly your drone during daylight and in good weather (not in clouds or fog).
- Keep your drone in sight, where you can see it with your own eyes – not only through an on-board camera, monitor or smartphone.
- Make sure your drone is safe for flight before take-off. Ask yourself, for example, are the batteries fully charged? Is it too cold to fly?
- Know if you need to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC).
- Respect the privacy of others – avoid flying over private property or taking photos or videos without permission.
Here are the Don'ts:
Don’t fly: - closer than nine km (five nm) from any aerodrome (i.e. airport, heliport, helipad or seaplane base, etc.)
- higher than 90 metres (300 feet) above the ground
- closer than 150 metres (500 feet) from people, animals, buildings, structures, or vehicles
- in populated areas or near large groups of people, including sporting events, concerts, festivals, and firework shows
- near moving vehicles, highways, bridges, busy streets, or anywhere you could endanger or distract drivers
- within restricted and controlled airspace, including near or over military bases, prisons, and forest fires
- anywhere you may interfere with first responders
Basically fly smart not stupid. You do stupid stuff, and the government will start placing more restrictions on the hobby.
