Flight Plans In Canada

Can I file Canadian flight plans in ForeFlight?

It depends on the flight rules. ICAO IFR flight plans are delivered to the ATC center responsible for the airspace surrounding the departure airport. So for Canadian departure airports, ICAO IFR flight plans will go to NavCanada and be filed successfully.
Additionally, cross-border ICAO VFR flight plans filed from the US to Canada are transmitted to Lockheed Martin Flight Service who forwards them to NavCanada, so those will also be filed successfully.
However, VFR flight plans that originate in Canada, whether they cross the border or not, must be filed directly with NavCanada, and so cannot be filed in ForeFlight.
