Selfin and Ve3id, I'd really like to thank you for taking the time to reply, and for sharing your knowledge so freely. Some great information and advice in there - it's people like you guys who make Pprune such a valuable resource.
FLVC sounds just the ticket in this case.
Ve3id, thanks for the links. Once I have finalised where I will be doing the flying portion, I'll book for the radio test, and ask for the certificate to be mailed to wherever I will be training in Canada. Very useful info, much obliged.
Thanks once again!
