For those traveling to Canada and wanting to fly, you'll need a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC).
I emailed my application on June 3rd (tried on the precious Friday evening, but the mailbox was full!) and received a response today. I received a reference number and they also stated "Please note that processing times for SFOC applications are up to 30 days."
I hope it won't take that long, but all governments can move very slowly. Hopefully they don't have just one person handling all the Pilot Certificate and the SFOC requests!
