As Moose47 says there are a group of Irish lads here at the momment doing there training through PRI. From what I can see, PRI offer a complete package that trains you here in Canada and then converts you back in Europe to JAA, so by the time your'e finished you can go knocking on the door of airlines, that said, make use of their website and give them a call for more accurate details as their packages vary depending on requirements:

But also make use of AFC's own site for more information about the training here:

From what I can see, the training here is well structured and well taught, although it is only early days for me. Canada is a great country to live in and North Bay a great place to learn to fly. I would just say, look at all your options, PRI is great if you want everything taken care of and put together as a package, it would also mean having the company of training with other candidates in a group which is great for learning and your social life. However it is not the only option for training at AFC which is a good school in it's own right, you can still train here directly without going via PRI if you want. My guess is PRI is probably more suited to you, but speak with some of the existing students and see what you think, don't forget to look at all your options and find what suits you best within your own budget.
Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need more info
