To fly in Canada You need A Canadian PPL or Foriegn Licence Validation certificate both of witch are fairly easy to get.

To get a the FLVC you only need to show up with your Valid PPL from your home contry.

To get a CDN PPL issued based on your Foriegn PPL you need a Valid Canadian Category 3 Medical (Category one if you want to do CPL Training), You will also need to do the PSTAR exam. and then you need to file the application with Transport Canada. As long as your home country's PPL meets the same requirements as Canada's they will Issue a PPL that is valid as long as you maintian the Medical Certificate.

You would need a PPL to train so that Transport Canada Can issue the rating or licence to your licence or file.

If you were time building only you would only need the validation to fly a Canadian Aircraft.

Also if your come for six months or less you can come on a regular Visa you don't need a student permit and there are no special Background checks other than the Visa or student permit. So it quite easy to come to Canada to train or time build.

The cost of flying and accomodations is also very resonable in certian areas of the country like southern Alberta.
