Lost Pilot Licence / Aviation Booklet Canada

I believed it’s difficult to replace a lost Canadian Aviation Booklet (pilots licence) – as I thought mine ended up at the bottom of the lake when float flying with it in my shorts. However, replacing it is easy – all you need to do is call Transport Canada and have them re-issue you one: $35 which takes 5-10 business days to arrive. If it’s urgent – you can have a temporary one sent to you by eMail; just remember to ask for the Pilots licence and ALSO for the medical (as you need carry both with you to be legal). The cost is $40 for EACH of those. Transport will transfer you to (or give you the number for) Finance so you can pay with your credit card. You then simply get them the receipt number for the licence and the medical to be emailed to you… you might have to remind them the next day if you don’t get it by end of day when you asked for it.
