dkatwa, are you really moving to CANADA?????
And you spent all that money on renewing the medical, and havn't flown since?
Dear chap, do a couple of circuits at your local club with an instructor, just to see if you have forgotten everything entirely being so long out of practice, and
if planning to move to Canada, it would be the best place in the world to fly light aircraft. They also have gliding clubs in that country, with the companionship found in these places. Avgas is cheaper, skies are huge, ATC is friendly and welcomes your presence.....
Have a look on the web to check out the flying clubs where you plan to be living, and go there for a week or two on holiday, you then have your network of friends already in place ....
