Craig,
Transport Canada will only recognize experience after a licence/permit has been awarded. But the good thing on your part is that you have only 14hrs. Minimum of 45hours to get a PPL in Canada with national average of 55 to 60hrs. What that probably mean is you'll end up doing only the 45hrs in Canada since you have covered the basics. If you had had completed 40hrs, you would still need to do 45 more...
What I would do if I were you is get some paperwork, other then your personal logbook, get a copy of your Pilot Training Records or even a letter from your instructor listing all the training completed and proficiency level reached. It may not save you many hours, but will help your Canadian instructor establish you level.
Hope this helps
