Hey Mate,
I did my Aviation degree in Australia, with the CPL and ATPL Theory. , at Newcastle in NSW.
As for CPL conversation. The Canadian theory one is heaps easy compared to the Australian. But here in Canada you can't bring in your documents (i.e., CARs, CAOs, CAAP), you must know the regs. I suggest having a go at the PSTAR Exam (which you have to sit before you go solo here in Canada) you can find it on my cadet website:

You'll have to get an AIP (which is like the Australian ones but with a summary of stuff from the CAR, CAOs, ect). You can get that at like any flight school for like 50.00$ CAD.
The main text they use here is the From the Ground Up (FTGU), again get it from any flight school for about 30-40CAD. It's piss compared to the Thoms, ect.
As per the ATPLs (there's only 2 exams) and you have to the hours before you can sit them.
You should have a look at the Transport Canada (TC) website, same as CASA, at URL:
