In Canada, the Phantom quadcopter is classified as an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) and, theoretically, you must have a Special Flight Operation Certificate (SFOC) to operate it.
Here is the link to the Transport Canada site that describes what you need to do to get a SFOC: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/general-recavi-brochures-uav-2270.htm
If you are planning on using the Phantom for commercial or professional work, Transport Canada requires that you have a detailed plan of what you are going to do, as well as meeting other requirements, such as having at least $100,000 in 3rd Party Liability Insurance.
I'm sure that a Driver's exam and test is just around the corner.
