Foreign License Conversion and Costs??
Hi,
Does anyone know whats the process and how much would it cost to convert my license in Canada? I currently have CPL with Instrument Rating and possibly a Flight Instructor license in a few months here in the Philippines.
Thanks!

Just remember, getting your CPL or ATPL converted only allows you to fly planes. It does not grant you work rights, which is something only your visa or permanent residency (or citizenship) would allow.
You'll also need to find somewhere which will rent you a plane. Most places like flying clubs and schools will want to check that you actually know how to fly it, before letting you out solo, so that's going to be extra costs on top of those for the written exams and the flight tests.
(I included a rough estimate of what those are by combining the written exam fee, flight examiner fees, and rental fees above. Could be lower or higher depending on where you go)
