Narrative: I was flying the leg between ZZZ and ZZZ1 on a special flight (ferry) permit. We didn't realize until we were in Canadian airspace that our special flight permit excluded foreign airspace. We were already half way through (slightly NE of London airport) the Canadian airspace toward SYR when we realized it. The day of we were working on getting the day only lifted from the ferry permit and missed the detail about foreign airspace.In the futures will get together as a crew and read the ferry permit word for word and make sure we have not missed anything.


Second narrative: Was in the process of getting an updated ferry permit to move Aircraft X from heavy maintenance in ZZZ to ZZZ1 for refurb. Had been delayed almost 24 hours due to limiting ferry permit; Maintenance found on aircraft day prior and weather. Mid-day Maintenance Control had updated to a new ferry permit which included IFR operations. This was in conjunction with Maintenance completing a solenoid change in backup pitch trim systems. Filed flight plan via FLTPLAN.com which was the first time I had used for filing a flight plan. Was not familiar with the platform which was very limiting in information opposed to ARINC Direct. While all my flight plan way points were located in the continental U.S. What I failed to both recognize on my routing and the ferry permit was the prohibition of flight in 'Foreign airspace.' While originally filed between BRAVE waypoint and SYR soon at VEENA waypoint prior to BRAVE was given direct SYR. This put us farther north out of ZOB FIR and further into CYYC FIR. While both routing would have put us into the Canadian airspace; it was only after 10-15 mins in said airspace I double checked the limitations on the ferry permit. Once recognized; I alerted my SIC what had just occurred. Due to our current position it made sense to continue on route to exit Canadian airspace equal distant as a left turn south.Due to the nature of the flight and limitations imposed by the ferry permits for our newly acquired aircraft; a very small group of pilots will be allowed to move aircraft not on [company] certificate. Will put together a guide for the CAT B qualified pilots that do these flights. Will be able to better advise crews who will be moving aircraft on the limitations of the permits and what steps need to be taken to fulfill the requirements.


Synopsis: Medium Transport aircraft flight crew reported operating in foreign airspace with a 'US only airspace' restriction on ferry permit.
