           You can read more on ICAO and international flying in general in the Nov/Dec issue of FAA Safety Briefing:

http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/2012/

For any of you not familiar with this magazine, I think it is without a doubt the very best aviation magazine out there, and best of all, it is free!  It's free in pdf or several e-reader formats, or for a reasonable fee as a paper version that gets mailed to you for old-fashion readers like myself.

The editor is an active pilot over here in the DC area and does a great job with getting a collection of fantastic articles from true experts in the industry.  Go subscribe!

A recent exemption by Transport Canada (TC) makes it more affordable and less onerous for Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) from the United States to be flown into Canada.

TC's new Standardized Validation form puts LSA on equal footing with U.S. amateur-built aircraft flying into Canada. U.S. LSA owners simply have to download the Standardized Validation form found at: http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/maintenance/regsdocs/standardised_validation.htm , and follow other entry requirements such as customs, and fly. The $100 fee has been eliminated.

TC still requires U.S. pilots flying LSA aircraft in Canadian airspace to hold at least a private pilot certificate and a current FAA medical certificate.

What about Canadian pilots wanting to own and fly a LSA in Canada?
COPA chaired an industry/government working group whose task was to review how recreational aircraft are classified and make recommendations for changes, including how to accommodate LSA in Canada. An article 'Status report on Recreational Aviation and Light Sport Aircraft'' http://www.copanational.org/CAWJan10-2En.cfm , summarizes this initiative, which is still under consideration by TC.

The reason why I ask is because i was reading about some canadian pilots flying Quadcity challengers to oshkosh.

No. If you remember when you filled out your IACRA application the
computer popped up a message like "does not meet ICAO requirements",
well that what that meant.
