Do Your PPL & CPL in Canada and transfer to JAR after

Move to Canada ....!!!!
Around Calgary the flight hours per year for VFR are possibly double of Ireland.
I just finished my PPL and took for ever, but I'm 52 and alwayes flying back to Europe for Holidays and Business (Portugal)
No Smart Remarks Please....
Costs in Calgary are $60.00 CAD per hour for Instructor and about $140.00 per hour for AC wet a 172N.

Transfereing to a JAR is a PIA so I understand, but it is what it is, cost of living here is half of Ireland, if you are single its a nice place to be if you talk funny ...women dig it! dont take it personnally, I have been here for 35 years and I talk funny...LOL

I have a 2000 172 SP C-FARC, and will do another 100 hours and will get a T182T.
Good Luck on your career, if anyone needs any info on Flight training in Canada feel free to PM me, almost as cheap as USA but you dont get treated like a terrorist in training.

Cheers
