Do I Need a Basic Drone License?
If you want to fly a drone in Canada that weighs 250 grams or more you'll need a drone license, aka drone certificiate. You're required to have a drone license regardless of whether you're flying for work or fun. A basic drone license allows you to fly in uncontrolled airspace. If you want to fly in controlled airspace or within 100 feet of bystanders you must get an Advanced Certificate.
Use Nav Drone's interactive map to see if you're in controlled airspace.
