I have a US PPL, and I travel to Montreal frequently

While I was there, I made a short flight up the St. Lawrence with one of
their instructors. I did all the flying, but I have logged it as dual,
but of course the tail number is a "C-....". The question is, what are
the rules regarding the time logged under a foreign license? Can it be
applied for requirements for advanced ratings on the US side? Or does
time in a "C-...." only apply for Canadian ratings?

I have had the problem of dealing with different rules, and the solution
I came up with was initially to maintain two logbooks -- but it is a pain
in the neck -- or have a large enough book so that you can keep
additional info in the comments;

In the case you describe, you have a US PPL, you were flying a
whatever registered aircraft, I imagine a single engine land for which
you are rated on your US certificate, and were (I presume) the
sole manipulator of the controls: as far as the FAA is concerned, you
log this flight as PIC, whether there was an instructor on board or
not and regardless of the registration of the aircraft; I dunno about
the Canadians, but the British have different rules and the same
flight would be logged differently on my British logbook (which I
no longer bother to maintain);
