I hate to say it but someone needs to.
Stop putting the cart in front of the horse
You are 18, get a medical and start with your PPL in the UK, part time while you continue your education.
Throwing everything at “becoming a pilot” without any regard for reality and it’s pitfalls is not the way.
You can’t just go to the US or Canada and just hope for the best without any higher education to help you sustain at least a moderate lifestyle during the times you don’t have a flying job.
Getting minimum wage and sleeping on someone’s couch may seem romantic but it’s not. It’s harsh and soulless.
Having a degree in a useful field will make immigration a whole lot less difficult.
You need to prepare for success not for failure
