I understand that the rules are the same in Canada=2C and heard from an expat over there that the option of registering the aircraft in the name of a shell company and leasing it back to the temporary resident is realtively easy and legal.
Costs are minimal=2C and I got a lot of help=2C advice and clarification from the FAA representatives at Sun-n-Fun some years ago.
