In order to fly in Canada……..hope this is still accurate.

You will need to file a flight plan and then clear Canadian customs. The number to call for Canada Customs is 1-888-CANPASS (or 1-888-226-7277). The customs clearance procedures for private flights into Canada make it possible to arrive at destinations other than major airports.

Visit the Canadian Border Services Agency Website at: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel/menu-e.html. The CANPASS – Private Aircraft program makes clearing customs easier for private aircraft owners and their passengers traveling to Canada from the United States. 1-888-226-7277

As a non-resident visitor, you can claim a refund for goods and services tax (GST) and the harmonized sales tax (HST) you paid on eligible goods and/or short-term accommodation while visiting Canada
