Conversion agreement between U.S. and Canadian officials - Flight Crew Licensing - General Aviation - Aviation Safety - Air Transportation - Transport Canada
There's no provision for converting instructor tickets. Once you've got the commercial, you can gain the required experience (if you don't have it already) and take the ground and flight exams - just like a real Canadian.
Note there's no conversion agreement for rotary wing tickets.
As Cliff said, the right-to work is problematic.
Who can I call to see if they've even filed my medical yet?
Call the doctor from whom you took the exam.
