If you really want to fly and instruct in Canada you would be wise to do your training in Canada. It's not what you know, it's who you know that gets you the jobs.

Thanks adam

Now can you recommend a place to do it in Canada?

On the words of conversion, has anyone converted from CASA to Transport Canada who can share some of their experience?

From Transport Canada's site, seems like for CPL and ME-CIR, a flight test needs to be done for both? If I wanted to do a instructor rating in Australia and then convert what would be the process, would that allow a skip in the previous flight tests?
