Narrative:
Climbed into positive control canadian airspace unable to remain clear of clouds and clear of mountains. Climbed to 16500 ft before I was able to get IFR clearance. Thought this was permissible in canadian airspace. Should have checked regulations more carefully and got clearance before climbing or before heading over mountains.
