Drone pilot questions — Canada
What licence do I need to fly drones commercially in Canada?
Transport Canada requires all drones over 250 g to be registered and pilots to hold a Basic or Advanced pilot certificate depending on the flight zone and drone weight. Commercial work: Basic or Advanced Pilot Certificate (Transport Canada). The drone itself also has to be registered. Always confirm the current rules with Transport Canada before you fly — HireDronePilot never issues, sells or trains licences, and the operating authorisation is your responsibility.
Is it free to list drone services in Canada?
Yes. Creating a profile and listing your services is free — there is no listing fee and no paid placement. You set your own day, weekly, monthly and trial-day rates, and you decide which hire requests to accept.
Which drone services do clients request most in Canada?
Of the listings live in Canada right now, the busiest categories are construction progress monitoring, real estate aerial photography, industrial & structural inspection, infrastructure & corridor mapping, land & topographic surveying.
