    Dear Harold I don’t really understand the question, but I can provide this information for question #1:
    When cancelling IFR, the flight plan remains in effect. All that has been cancelled is the provision of IFR control service by ATC. After landing, the pilot must close the flight plan with ATC or a flight service station (FSS) (TC AIM RAC 3.12.2).
    So my interpretation would be that answer “4) Neither of the two” would be accurate.
    As for the second question under the FARs of the US the flight plan gets automatically cancelled if you do not take off, unless you have a Clearence Void Time, in which case you shall report to ATC as soon as possible and no later than 30 minutes from the void time, of your new intentions.
    Now going by logic I would pick answer 2 anyway because the other ones just don’t make sense: 1) Activating rescue 24 hours after an accident might be a little too late, if you know what I mean. 3) extending your Estimated Time of Arrival by 24 Hours, well what if i take of 23 hs than the ETA will be 24+23+ what ever time in route so…. And finally 4) Why give an eta while in the air when you could have done it before taking off?
    Again I am not an expert in Canadian regulations and hope that someone out there is able to either confirm my answers or give you a better interpretation. In the mean time enjoy flying and stay safe.
