I don't think you can fly in Canada on a sport pilot permit just as
Canadians can't fly in the states with a rec pilot permit. Hopefully
someday there will be an agreement to honour the different systems

hmmm..... Hadn't even considered that aspect.

See the new 14CFR 61.315:
--------------------------------------------
§61.315 What are the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?
(-)
(c) You may not act as pilot in command of a light-sport aircraft:
(-)
(8) Outside the United States, unless you have prior authorization from
the country in which you seek to operate. Your sport pilot certificate
carries the limit "Holder does not meet ICAO requirements."
--------------------------------------------

I'd expect this would also apply if one is exercising Sport Pilot
privileges using a Private certificate (e.g., without a valid 3rd class).
