Yessir, JJ. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Beaver.

An initial Canadian ATPL requires (I know you have the hours, but I might as well answer the question completely):
1500 h total time
250 h PIC
100 h night
25 h night cross-country PIC
200 h cross-country PIC
(OR 100 h x-c PIC and 200 h x-c co-pilot)
75 h instrument (25 h may be in simulator)
Valid Class 1 medical
An instrument ride passed within the last 12 months.
A valid group 1 (multi engine non-centreline thrust) instrument rating.
Scores of at least 70% on the SARON and SAMRA exams in the last 24 months. The names sort of roughly stand for what they're about, or maybe what they used to be about.
They cost CAN$110 each to write. You can write them at the FSS building, which is in walking distance of Active Aerospace. You need no appointment, just enough time before closing. You can write them on different days.

The syllabus to study is on the Transport Canada website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/general/FLTCREW/study.htm

Compared to the US style of questions there are more calculations, more ADF-related questions. Obviously we have different air law, and make sure you have a good look at our METARs and GFAs. They aren't quite the same as the US.
