Police say the four-seater was being flown by a 61-year-old Quebec man, who was the lone occupant.
The plane took off from St-Mathieu De Beloeil, Que., and was supposed to arrive at the Buttonville Airport in Markham, Ont., north of Toronto, at 11 p.m. on Monday.
The last known co-ordinates of the plane were reported around 11:30 p.m., in an area south of Hastings, Ont.
Provincial police, including an emergency response team, are conducting a ground level search of the area about 35 kilometres east of Peterborough.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton, Ont., also has a helicopter conducting a search from the sky.
Anyone who heard a low-flying airplane in the area on Monday evening is being asked to contact provincial police.
