If you want to have a career as a pilot, you will need to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). A CPL allows you to be compensated for flying. Once obtaining a CPL, pilots may enter the industry in a role such as a charter pilot, obtain an Instructor Rating and teach flight instruction, or obtain other ratings allowing them to fly larger aircraft.

Associated times and costs are based on Transport Canada minimum times (CAR 421.220) and are subject to to applicable taxes. The actual costs of obtaining the permit will vary with individual student progress. It is recommended that students complete training in as short a time frame as possible to increase retention between lessons. Costs are paid on a per-flight basis and are charged based on flight time. The written exam, flight test, medical, and associated processing fees are extra.
