FAA to Canadian
This seems to be the best link ...

I haven't done it yet, but I'm told the process is very much as described above. There aren't any ASA manuals out for the written (give it time!), so you have to get the books listed and study them (follow the links). Apparently just one twenty question exam.

I just asked a my friend who converted his last month. He was required to get a Canadian cat1 medical and do a written exam. It's the same to switch a Canadian CPL over to FAA CPL.
If you're still in the States, you might find a doctor down there that can do the canadian cat1 med for you as there are a few up here that can do ones for FAA.

As long as your FAA medical is current, then to my knowledge, yes.
You might want to confirm your instrument rating and stuff, whether or not approaches in Canada count for FAA.

I'm having a heck of a time trying to narrow down the areas I need to study for this Canadian conversion test. Can anybody get me focusing on the right subjects. This task is so daunting. I am currently studying the ATPL test prep book by Shewing (sp.?). Most of this stuff is sooo confusing.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Studing for the Transport Canada exam
You mention (infer) your studing for the ATPL. If you are then study for the 40 question ATPL aeronautical knowledge test on Air Law and Communications. I recommend the following:
Aerocourse...Canadian ATPL Workbook
Michael Culhane's...ATPL Groundschool course
The Canadian Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)
You will also need to pass the 20 question Instrument Rating aeronautical knowledge test on Air Law and Communications. I recommend the following:
The Sharper Edge Publication...Instrument Rating 2007 Exam Preparation Guide
Michael Culhane's...Instrument Rating ground School Course
Nav Canada's...Canada Air Pilot (CAP GEN) Instrument Procedures...it's free.
These books can be obtained from Aero Training Products Inc at Vancouver Intl. Airport. Phone: 604 278 0432

I just clicked on that TC link and noticed this
800 Burrard St.
Room 620
Vancouver, B.C.
V6Z 2J8
Tel.: (604) 666-5571
Fax: (604) 666-4839
That's the office for the Transport Canada office in Vancouver (there's also one in Richmond, the city where the International Airport is located at) but the address for the one listed is wrong. TC is located on the 8th floor.... =P

FAA to CAA ATPL
I converted my FAA licence to the Canadian one a couple of months ago.
The exam was 25 questions mainly on flight time limitations, licence recency requiremnets, airspace division and general airlaw type stuff. I used aerocourse and found it a great help.

Online stuff
And here's an interesting link ...
http://www.pilottraining.ca/site/inf...ine_ground.php
I can't vouch for the product - haven't used or seen it - but it's the first and only "commercial solution" I've seen for 'FAA to Canadian'. There are products available for 'Canadian to FAA', ASA for one.
