I believe the part 61 IFR will work like it does in FAA land.

This is what generally happens in the good old USA.

PPL- (this includes NVFR as you cant hold a PPL without night rating in FAA land) It doesn't say NVFR on the licence, its just a given.

Straight after PPL is IR S/E- I think this is a great idea as the hour building phase generally follows. Exposure to weather other than CAVOK when your progressing up to your CPL test is a blessing in disguise.

After CPL check ride many do a M/E rating. During your M/E checkride you have to shoot a couple of instrument approached one of which includes and engine inop approach. Then presto! Multi engine IR done. No need to waste hours of flight time on NDB's in the USA hence the MECIR works out to be about 40% cheaper there.
