The new rules do not treat people who fly drones for fun or for business differently and you must follow the Government of Canada - Drone Rules
Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC)
If you want to fly your drone outside the rules, you will need to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC).
The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) require unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operators to apply for SFOCs so Transport Canada can ensure operators use their UAV reliably and safely.
Each SFOC contains conditions for where and how to fly, such as:
- maximum altitudes
- minimum distances from people and property
- coordination requirements with air traffic services
