Yeah, that makes a lot more sense, thanks. I wasn't aware of the IEC working holiday programme, all the flight schools have been pushing the PGWP - managing expectations. This could be a potential option.
I had a few questions regarding this:

Do you have to pick either the PGWP or IEC working holiday programme or can you do one after the other?
Would it not affect the IEC working holiday programme if I have done my flight training in Canada?
What happens when the IEC working holiday programme is over?
Would the IEC working holiday programme help in getting permanent residency?
What are the chances of success in getting the IEC working holiday programme?

Some flight schools have been saying due to the new changes this year, getting study permits, PGWP and permanent residency is a lot harder. Do you have any insight on this?

I'm currently weighing up my options as to carrying on in the UK or moving to Canada; currently in favour of Canada as, if I'm right in thinking, it is a lot cheaper, more fun, no 13 ATPL exams and the training would be done a lot quicker?

The only thing currently in the way is the visa as I just needed some clarification on whether I would be eligible for a work permit after receiving my training and then eventually the right to live and work.

Thank you once again.
