Here's a link that may help you out. But first, are you looking to get a College/university education along with your flight training? or just the flight training?

Compared to the United States, there are no "good" aviation college programs. Consider that Saudi Aramco sends their cadet pilots to the University of North Dakota for ab-initio training. The Saudi aviation scene is more set-up for FAA licence holders. Plenty of N-registered aircraft operating in KSA, and the Saudi aviation system is modeled on the US one. The entire Saudi Aramco fleet is N-registered.
The disadvantages, especially for a young Saudi studying aviation in the USA these days is the requirement for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approval on every step of the training process (this does not just affect Saudis or Arabs but rather all non-US nationals), as well as the general suspicion surrounding Saudis studying aviation post-September 11th, 2001. Those Saudis that I have known have told me that they were under considerably scruitiny during their training program. Not exactly a-typical of what happens in KSA, however in the USA, when it directed against a minority and especially outsiders, obviously less than pleasant. Which is probably why you are asking about Canada . . .

Depends on what you want. Are you looking for flight training only or combining that with an aviation-based university degree?
In the US there are many 4-year Bachellor Degree programs from very prestigious universities that have an excellent worldwide industry reputation. I'm talking about schools like Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, University of North Dakota, Parks College, etc.
Canada has traditionally only had 2-year "diplomas." A few years ago some started a 4-year degree program. I really cannot comment on the quality of these, however, the aforementioned US universities have the long track record and industry reputation.

spoken like a true westerner
I do think thoes schools are good though. If I had to do it over again I would have gotten my JAR licence from the School in Moncton. But that wasn't an option when I was in school.

I flown with grads from Selkirk, Mount Royal ,Confed, Sault, Seneca before it became a university program only in it's third year now,Moncton ,UND and Embry Riddle all great schools. In the end it is what you do after you leave. I know several grads from above the schools who never turned a wheel after they graduated it was not for them. Luck timing and net working play just as an important a role. I have visited with friends and relatives most of the above schools and would have no problem recommending any of them. Each has it's advantages . UWO and Seneca now have programs that are not far off UND and Embry Riddle for a fraction of the cost. I started flying before the aviation college program started so no real bias. Pilots in Canada are sending there kids to all of the above schools which just about says it all. If money is no object and you are from the KSA look at Oxford Air Training in the UK and a frozen ATPL. In Canada Moncton and Cabair in the UK work together for JARS licencing at a fraction of the cost. If I were to do it again in Canada it would be UWO or Seneca. Good luck .

RE: Looking for Colleges
Hi again,
Sorry I meant Georgian College and its located in Barrie, Ontario. They're program is really great and we also have agreement with Griffith University in Australia to get into Masters of Aviation Management and get it in one year.
Lots of our graduates are either big managers working in the Gulf, few with Gulf Air and most here in Canada at GTAA or Airlines.
Hope that helps.
