How long can a US registered Plane stay in Canada?

Post by nickorette »

How long can a US registered Plane stay in Canada before it is required to be registered in Canada?

I'm a dual citizen, I've got addresses in both countries. I spend most of my time in Canada but I'm back and fourth at least 1-2 times per year, it would be probably about 6 times/yr if I get a plane.

Purchasing in the US can save me tens of thousands now that our dollar is close to par.

90 days out of 360 max, consecutive/ not consecutive doesn't matter. Because you are a dual citizen it throws a wrench into it though, since your here more than there would say you are a resident of Canada there for 90 of 360 or you pay the import taxes :) and of course re register it.

Get a float plane... they'll probably never notice it sitting at your dock for years!

Once upon a time...

There was also some deal where the the US Registered A/C could only fly from the US to Canada and then one other Canadian destination before having to land back in the US. (This may have been the case because I was Canadian, flying a US Registered Plane with a Canadian and American license)

I'm not sure if it still works this way.

Just FYI.

I guess no one remembers the guy with the L39 in Alberta that was fined one million bucks for not importing his airplane a couple years ago.

Friends of mine were crucified by Transport on the east coast for operating a polish-registered AN-2. That fine was only $50,000.

Indefinately if the owner resides in Canada. If the aircraft is part 91, the owner would have to have a majority shareholding in an American based company.

I wish I had gotten the chance to jump out of that!
