hello scalair,
I converted from JAR (UK) PPL to Canadian PPL a few years back. (2002).
I remember having to do some extra dual instrument time in order to meet the requirements for Canadian PPL. (5 hours vs 1 hour for the UK).
Now, this may have changed in the meanwhile, but could be worth looking into to avoid surprises.
Good luck. You'll enjoy the flying out of Kelowna.
