By Private do you mean PPL? Not sure what canadian prices are like but to get a PPL FAA in Florida would cost about $5000. Take a look in your local flying magazines is best bet. If you were going to do a full residential ATPL then costs depend on whether you are going to do modular or intergrated. Modular is cheaper at around £30,000 and a intergrated course usually £60,000. Not sure what that would work out in your currency but best advice look in the back of pilot magazines. These prices don't always include accomodation.
