Thanks for all the info, much appreciated.
After converting my UK PPL to a TC PPL and getting a TC CPL and MEIR, can I get a PGWP, as long as the training is a minimum of 8 months and how long would the PGWP be valid for?
Also, I don't think getting a job with a 250 Hour CPL MEIR is very likely, so would an Instructor Rating be a good route to go down, as it would help get 1-year work experience to eventually apply for permanent residence whilst also getting my hours up to 1500?
