I was also looking into Canadian flight school but what I am worried is the weather. Of course it will depend on some areas but some Japanese pilot who went there for training said that the flyable months were roughly 3 months due to weather conditions.
If you work as a CFI in FL or AZ, I think it is doable. You wanna get 500 hrs jet before F-1 expires so that you can move onto somewhere like EVA in Taiwan.
Yeah that 3-months comment is nonsene. Winter is bad for sure but there are many opportunities in Canada like medevac, charter, instructing etc etc.
