How much does it cost in Canada? I can give you some prices over here if you want to compare as well as suggest some options here in San Diego.
I have a friend who is a flight instructor in Vancouver and it is a few years since I flew around with him over there and don't remember how much it cost then. Those rates are probably out of date now anyway. As for the shortest times - I only fly once or twice a week but someone else here who has done one of the "fast" training courses may be better placed to answer that.
Apart from cost why would you like to train here. I thought Vancouver was a pretty good place to learn (as I recall).
