Can I go to the FAA office with my Canadian licence and walk out with a US licence?
In short no. You will be required to complete the Verification of Authenticity of Foreign License, Rating, and Medical Certification form and send it along with copies of your documents to Oklahoma. They will in turn review your application and contact Transport Canada in Ottawa to verify your licence.
Once that has happened, they will send you a letter to take with you to the FSDO you requested. They will also send a copy of the letter to the FSDO of your choice. You will need to call the FSDO and make an appointment. They must have the letter in their possession before you can schedule the meeting. Once the two letters are together, with you and your original documents at the FSDO, they will issue you a licence.
This only applies to get a Private Pilot licence. It does not matter what licence you hold. In order to obtain a Commercial licence you will need to write exams.
It takes time. My ordeal took about three months.
