Hey there,
I have done all 3 (Canadian, FAA, JAA), and still think that the Canadian one was the best one that I did. Flying is cheap in Canada mainly due to good exchange rate you get.
I would say Canadian ground work is in between the FAA and JAA and that the flying is as good as the FAA and so better than the JAA. (had to put that in to wind up some of the JAA FAA debators)
You may find that like a lot of the FTOs quote you the lowest price humanly possible to get the ratings.
If you add about 30% to the cost of training and living I have usually found that will give you a more accurate view of what it will cost. It will also save you the blushes of running out of money during your training.
I would personally recommend Moncton as I did my intial training there. You should also I believe be able to walk away with both Can & JAA Com/MIR.
Hope that helps or not as the case might be.
