Do also note that Canada views "solo" time logged towards a commercial license differently than how the US views "solo" (PIC) time. I can't recall the exact details as it's been 15 years since my UND days, but the FAA was a lot more lax in what it counted as solo... I think you could even count it as solo if you were with another student logging it as solo?? Anyhow, in Canada, solo is solo when it comes to logging time for the CPL.
Just something to confirm if you come up to the (not so frozen, this year) north.
