Canada border to be in communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC) via a discrete squawk code. This means that pilots must have a two-way communication device, such as a radio, and a transponder that will allow ATC to identify their aircraft’s location. The Canadian government requires all pilots crossing the U.S.-Canada
