Transport Canada published new rules for flying drones in Canada on January 9, 2019. [1] The rules no longer treat recreational and commercial drone pilots differently but instead categorize operators as basic or advanced with different rules for each. [2] The rules apply to drones between 250 g (0.55 pounds) and 25 kg (55 pounds).
In 2016, Transport Canada proposed the implementation of new regulations that would require all drones over 250 grams (8.8 oz) to be registered, insured, and that operators would be required to be a minimum age and pass an exam in order to get a license.

Safety concerns have been raised due to the potential for an ingested drone to rapidly disable an aircraft engine, [1] and several near-misses and verified collisions have involved hobbyist drone operators flying in violation of aviation safety regulations.
