Totally different to JAA. Transport Canada ATPLs are designed for pilot testing not money earning! You need half the requirements to sit the 3 written exams...so that's 750 hours. I believe they are about 60 bucks each to write, and there is no rip-off groundschool course requirement...the studying is on your back and you're not babysat through the course. Get the hours, do the studying, sit the exams...simple as that.
