Hi FF
I have trained in both Florida and Canada, and the only comparison that you can make is in the price. The main advantages I found in Canada are:-
1. No Visa requirements if you are training for less than 6 months
2. Full ATC radar service as a matter of course
3. Uncluttered airspace
I trained at Moncton and quite frankly you will not find any JAA school in Florida like it, and probably won't find one in Europe either. It is a not-for-profit organisation meaning that any profit does not go to shareholders, it is reinvested into the school in terms of new aircraft, maintenance and resources. MFC is an integrated training provider in Canada and the JAA side piggy-backs on those resources. The instruction is professional and high quality, and they deliver on budget!
If I had the choice it would be Canada ANY DAY.
