I use to wish the same, until I tumbled across PPRUNE and AVCANADA Forums, and judging by the number and quality of replies, I can safely say that I'm making a very good and informed decision and you will too.

If I go to Harv's Air, I would be eligible for a PGWP. But I am not sure if I would like it in Manitoba, and I don't know anyone in Manitoba. Whereas, I have friends in Toronto.
Well to be honest with ya, you got to think wether you wanna stay in Canada or not (after training), and you can always make new friends in Winnipeg (as rightly said by Phil), I've heared that Canadians are amazing, soft and kind people, so you'll be fine.

Yeah, I was planning on training with them, but I also couldn't get through to them (over the phone), so I dropped the idea.

Everyone recommends Harvs air, so it's a safe choice, don't confuse yourself with too many flight schools but yes do your research well.
