Private Pilot License; allows the holder to fly as pilot or co-pilot of an aeroplane. This is the most commonly held licence in Canada and is generally the first licence earned by the aspiring professional pilot. Only day flying of a single engine non-high-performance aeroplane in accordance with VFR is allowed, unless other ratings have been earned. A pilot with this licence cannot work for hire, although reimbursement for some costs is permitted. (Wikipedia)
