Canada

Hi All

I cut the crap and went to Canada instead of the States. Canada is internationally renonwed for their pilot training, and the standard of the schools over here is much higher than in the States. The prices are more or less the same too.

In Canada you don't need a student visa if you're staying less than six months. Even if you would apply for a student visa, the process is pretty straight forward and fast, so much easier than in the States. You will not be asked any insinuating and insulting questions when you apply for it either!

I'm doing my JAA training at Moncton Flight College in New Brunswick and I am really happy with the instruction and the school as a whole.

I think it's about time pilot cadets stood up against the way that the US are treating their international students.
