First off - welcome to PPrune and hopefully soon to the aviators' 'club' !

If you are sure to move country in a few months' time, then, frankly, I wouldn't bother starting flight training now. Converting licenses is getting ever more complicated and transferring training even more so.

Here (UK), the asylum will probably be taken over by the worst-case lunatics (EASA) in April 2012. They seem hellbent on making everything five times as difficult as it already is, I guess you'll also have to swear allegiance to some Socialist European Dream (well, make that Nightmare, with a capital N).

Not 100% sure about Oz, although if you read the Oz forum here, that doesn't seem to be that much better.

Of course, if you can afford to start your training now but potentially having to start from scratch again wherever you go, then by all means, go for it. After all, nobody, not even EASA, can take your knowledge away!

Good luck!

PS: the above of course assumes that you will be leaving Canada for good and live for an extended period of time in either the UK or Oz.
