Regarding your request about which PPL etc, i am doing the PPL (a), and i belive my exams should be done with a Canadian recognised exam course, as the manager of my flying school in victoria said i should go somewhere which have candaian recognised exams, so this is most likely!
My intentoins are to go there from June 30th, staying with family and all, so i am out there for 5 weeks, as i am doine most exams over here and over there something about the transport canada written test and stuff....
Hope this helps,
Smooth skies,
Dan
