hi
I just came back from toronto last week, and cleared the air law paper.
i have a FAA AMEL n on the verification form i checked the commercial and multi engine and not instrument rating.
and i would say rather than waiting for the verification from transport canada,just go directly to toronto office and give the exam and fill up the verification form there itself after you clear the exam( you can only do this if you have your medical file with you).
for any other info you can contact me directly on my email id-"[email protected]"

why?
Why are so many yanks trying to get cdn licences? There are not enough jobs to go around for nationals let a lone outsiders. No one is going to give me a work permit to fly in the states even though I could have a job inside a couple weeks. Stop being so picky about who you fly for what type of plane it is or what type of operation it is.
Go fly jumpers if you want to be picky, you will be in large 2 crew turbo props at 250h and PIC on -6s or 208s before you hit 1000h.

i dont know why....
im here now (trying) to get a Canadian Atpl but it would have been simpler and cheaper to do it in the states. USA = medical, 1 check ride and 1 written exam. Canada = medical, samra, saron , inrat and now ive been told i need to take the cpl written. i dont understand... CPL ? when in Canada you dont even need a cpl you can jump straight from PPL to atp and I already hold a US Cpl. And here the licence isnt free like the states. dont
forget men that once you do get a canadian licence you have to keep coming up every 2 years and do a IPC to renew instrument rating and even though you paid Dr singh the 125 bucks for the medical you still get sent a bill from TC for another 55 bucks everytime you renew. (some nonsense about their doctors have to process the paperwork)

hey superfly
what exam are you referring to?
i just got my canadian cpl/ifr/me/b737
i wanted atpl but lack instrument time (not just ifr plan)
in canada us to can tests are 35 bucks
apiece so cpl and ifr was 70 for tests
and the licence was 80 + 30 + 30 + 30 (each rating ifr,me and ifr)
= 170 plus medical 125 so total was $365 but doesnt include
rental cars and hotels at 70 a night ! and thats the cheapest
i could find..
you could do both exams in one day they are just 20 questions
each but i also did the samra and saron which are 105 each
and are for the atpl. i have to get some more hood time (like
i mentioned above for atpl)
btw can to usa would run 200 for tests (2 x 100) and 80 for medical
and licence in states is free so 280 vs 365...

Thanks a lot Proud. I did my FAACA exam sometime back. I used the study guide available on PilotTraining.ca : Learn to Fly! : PilotTraining.ca it costs $75 (canadian), it's pretty helpful and also has 3 sample test papers to work out. If you don't want to spend the money then you'll have to stick to studying from the CAR's. That will help too I guess. I scored a good 90% in the exam. It takes one morning to give the exam. I would suggest you complete the verification process of your FAA license and only then go for the exam. It takes about 4 - 5 weeks, took about 3 weeks for me.
I applied for the CPL + Multi Engine Rating. So it costs, $80 (issuance of license booklet) + $35 ( FAACA - FAA to Canadian CPL conversion) + $30 (Multi Engine Rating). It's just one exam that you have to give. You need to have a multi engine rating on your FAA license though. If you want a Instrument Rating you'll have to pay an extra $30 and write the Instrument Rating exam too. I din't take that up, since I didn't need it.

Hey Guys
I am really confused.....
IS A CANADIAN RT AND A CANADIAN CPL STILL ENOUGH TO GET THE INDIAN RT(CONVERSION)?
People are giving mixed opinions and answers. No one is really sure. I got the Canadian Medical done 2 weeks back as well here in Mumbai. I am waiting for my file no. Then i would be heading for my recency to USA and then to Canada for the Canadian RT and CPL.
Some people say the WPC is not accepting Canadian RT as well now.

Re:koolchaos
So that means that if you get a Canadian CPL and RT, you do not sit for any of the Indian RT Exams or do you still have to do the First Round of Written Questions for Indian RT.
Did you go to any school for this process and is it easy or hard to do this?
Can you recommend me any good school or agent that can help me with the FAA to Canadian CPL and RT so I too can get my Indian RT.
Thanks

Online preparation for conversion from FAA to TC
Hi everyone, I am looking into converting from FAA to TC at CPL/IR level and just want to know if you guys strongly recommend taking one of those online courses, for instance pilottraining.ca offers a CPL/IR conversion course for 350usd, though it's not the obscenely prohibitive fee that JARland CAA's have used us to, it's still money. I read earlier on this thread that just reading up the CAR's would be sufficient, is that so?
I would really appreciate to hear what those of you that have gone through the same conversion process have to say.
