UK PPL Conversion Validation
To obtain a UK PPL be it even a short term one even, from a ICAO (Canadian) or a FAA ATPL, is it just a rubber stamp and the fee's?

Nope,
There will be two written tests: One on air knowledge and another to ascertain if you belong in the Human Race. Next, a medical exam and then a flight check. Also, you are required to have a radio license and the American FCC license is not accepted. This would involve another written test and oral exam. The whole procedure is generally thought be a giant pain in the ass, if the only reason is to fly a light aircraft.

and you don't mind being limited to day VMC
There is no "day" limitation, and if you hold an IR, there is no VMC restriction, other than in CAS. So in G airspace you can fly IFR in IMC if you wish....
Also my FAA ticket does not limit me to "Piston" aircraft either though that may be another matter in UK airspace....
