scoobster if you choose harvs try st andrews. Control tower class d, They will give you vdf steers, as well if you have to you can also get a special vfr to get back in at night. one sm flight visibility. St andrews allows a bit more talking (with a control tower).
Saying this, I am assuming your long term goal is a airline. They are set up for international students (accomadations etc). Good luck. Follow up with Perimeter no matter what for your multi ifr, no matter what harvs has to offer.
There is no comparison, real company, they train in ice etc, plus who knows maybe you can get on the metro if you become a resident (canadian) has happened many times in the past.
