To obtain landing permits from Transport Canada, operators must submit a comprehensive application at least 24 hours before the flight. The application must include the following documents:

1. Aircraft Registration Certificate: This is necessary to confirm the legal registration of the aircraft.
2. Airworthiness Certificate: This certificate demonstrates that the aircraft meets established airworthiness standards.
3. Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC): Required for commercial operators.
4. Insurance Certificate: Proof of liability insurance for the aircraft, covering third-party liability and possibly additional coverage.
5. Crew Documents: This includes pilot licenses, medical certificates, crew passports, and potentially visas based on the crew’s nationality.
6. Flight Plan: A detailed flight plan must be submitted, including entry and exit points, dates, times, and the airports of arrival and departure.
7. Noise Certificate: Compliance with ICAO noise standards is typically required.
8. Passenger Information: For commercial flights, a passenger manifest and customs declarations for each passenger are generally necessary.
9. Special Permits: Additional permits may be needed for:
a. Charter Operations: Special authorization may be required for foreign commercial air operators.
b. Cargo Flights: Depending on the nature of the cargo, special permits for dangerous goods may be necessary.
c. Humanitarian Missions or Special Events.
10. Security Clearances: Additional security clearances may be required for flights carrying dignitaries or other special cases.

Operators must also comply with Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and any relevant bilateral agreements. If the flight involves transporting dangerous goods, specific documentation and approvals are mandatory. The permit will outline any conditions or restrictions, including designated landing airports and adherence to noise abatement procedures.
