Thanks!
Short answer, based on a quick reading of the above, somewhere between 1000-1500 CAD for the written test and flight test for just the CPL. Free for multi-engine (if you're current), and another 1500-2000 for the ME IFR, if you have it. Read up on the link in my last post, should have more details.

You'll also need to find somewhere which will rent you a plane. Most places like flying clubs and schools will want to check that you actually know how to fly it, before letting you out solo, so that's going to be extra costs on top of those for the written exams and the flight tests.

(I included a rough estimate of what those are by combining the written exam fee, flight examiner fees, and rental fees above. Could be lower or higher depending on where you go)
