Can I convert an FAA medical certificate to a Canadian one without visiting an AME?
You cannot convert an FAA medical certificate directly into a Transport Canada medical certificate. However, you can obtain the Transport Canada medical certificate on the basis of the original or certified copies of FAA medical examination reports by submitting them directly to the Civil Aviation Medicine Branch of Transport Canada, Headquarters in Ottawa for processing and assessment. If they are deemed acceptable, the certificate would be issued in Canada without having to start the process with a Canadian AME. For more information, see Transport Canada Advisory Circular (AC) No. 401-001, "Application Guidelines for Aeroplane FAA to TCCA Licence Conversion Agreement".
