What will you need to import an aircraft into Canada?

Before you buy, speak with an MD-M to ensure the aircraft you are considering is elligible for importation into Canada. Once the aircraft is here it will have to go through the importation process.  There are two ways to import an aircraft.  One with an Export Airworthiness Certificate and the other option is without one.
If you bring in an aircraft without an Export Certificate of Airworthiness it will need an annual inspection or equivalent.
The inspection workscope will have to be submitted to the MD-M to ensure the work planned will satisfy the requirements of import.  A package will have to be assembled to submit to the MD-M and must consist of the following items:

  • Completed aircraft importation checklist, MSI 26;
  • Completed Application for Certificate of Airworthiness form 24-0043;
  • Original Certificate of Airworthiness for Export where applicable;
  • Current aircraft time and cycles;
  • Copies of appropriate records of Engine, propeller and APU data, respecting last inspection, overhaul, hot section inspection, etc.;
  • Copies of the appropriate portions of the maintenance records;
  • Copies of the Type Certificate and revision status for aircraft, engine and propellor as applicable, Supplemental Type Certificates, etc.;
  • Details of deficiencies noted during the inspection;
  • Copy of the work report required to bring the aircraft into compliance;
  • Details of the aging aircraft / Supplemental Structural Inspection programs, etc.;
  • Current weight and balance report and equipment list;
  • List of repairs or modifications, including 24-0045 forms, FAA 337 forms, validations of field approvals etc.;
  • List of applicable and accomplished Airworthiness Directives;
  • List of Service Bulletins incorporated; and
  • Verification of all life limited and TBO parts and components i.e a listing.
Copies of the required forms can be obtained from the link section below.

As a side note, I do not personally recommend C of A's for Export from the United States.
