Converting my FAA CPL first to TC Canada and then my FAA instrument rating to TC

[PilotDimi23]

Hey guys. Do you know if it is possible to convert my FAA CPL to TC first and then a few months later convert my FAA instrument rating to TC? ( that is because my instrument rating is not current)

I don't see anything in the AC that says you can't. From the tables in Appendix 1, the CPL and IR are listed separately which appears to suggest these two can be converted separately.

So, you haven't had an FAA IPC within the last 24 months ?

Any chance you can get the IPC and avoid going through the conversion process in two stages ?

That is great news thank you for the information. The problem is here in the Netherlands it's hard to find an N-registered A/C and find a CFII to renew my instrument.

I haven't flown IR for more than 24 months actually.

Since I am moving to Canada and I actually don't need my IR right away so my thought process is to convert my CPL first and then find a CFII instructor there and renew my IR
