Transport Canada–Aligned Operations by Squadsight Inc.
Squadsight is a Canadian drone services company focused on structured, cross-border operations between Canada and the United States.
We specialize in enabling organizations to operate compliantly and efficiently across differing regulatory environments, particularly where FAA and Transport Canada frameworks intersect. Our model is executive-led, emphasizing governance, regulatory alignment, and operational continuity rather than task-based field execution.
Squadsight works with U.S. drone service providers and enterprise clients seeking to extend or integrate operations into Canada without the friction, risk, or overhead of building local infrastructure from scratch. We provide a compliant Canadian operational presence, executive-level coordination, and long-term partnership support for infrastructure, energy, transportation, and industrial applications.
Our approach is intentionally structured. We prioritize clear organizational roles, formal partnerships, and scalable execution models that support recurring contracts and sustained growth. This allows our partners to expand geographically while maintaining compliance, margin discipline, and operational control.
Squadsight is not a pilot-for-hire operation.
We function as a cross-border operations and integration partner for companies that view drone services as a corporate capability, not a freelance activity.
