Can I fly a glider in Europe on a Canadian Glider License? I currently live in Canada as a Permanent Resident and I recently received my Canadian Glider Pilot License. I will be going to Europe soon so I was wondering what I have to do to be able to fly a glider there. I will be going to the Netherlands if this makes any difference and I still have my Dutch Citizenship. Do I have to convert my license or just do some extra training?

Also would it help if I got a FAA glider certificate/endorsement on top of my TCCA license?
In general, it is difficult to convert to EASA. You can find more information here however I suspect the easiest method will simply be for you to phone them up. 

I think the bureaucracy will probably be more hassle than it's worth. It's not like Transport Canada where you can just get a FLVC (Foreign Licence Validation Certificate) or whatever (that was a pleasent suprise after our CAA in the UK!).
