Toronto/Montreal - flight school recommendation for Instrument Rating?
 

I am a UK-based pilot (with a TC PPL multi) wanting to gain my instrument rating (multi). I am looking for a flight school in either the Toronto or Montreal catchment areas. Obvious criteria apply: professional tuition; decent people; and an outfit that is not going to break the bank. A bonus would be a school that offered accommodation, given that I will need a place to stay.

Recommendations gratefully received or, if there are schools to avoid, please do private message me!

Many thanks

I got my licences from Brampton Flight School near Toronto, about half hour from downtown Toronto
Brampton Flight Centre
Over all the schools in GTA, I think it's a pretty good flight school

I did mine in Kitchener at Wellington Waterloo Flight Centre. Hr west of Toronto but I think a little cheaper/hr then most in the Toronto. Good equipment, ILS on site and great instructors.
Welcome to the Waterloo/Wellington Flight Centre

I would recommend Air Richelieu for Montreal.
You will be flying out of St Hubert, CYHU.
Cours pilotage | Cessna Pilot Center | Training Center | Cours pilotage | Cessna Pilot Center | Standardized Training Center
I know a pilot who is always doing his Canadian IFR renewal with them, training and test all with their approved flight simulator.

They do provide accommodations according to their website.

Brampton Flight Center is a very good school! For IFR training I wouldn't go there though. Their approaches depend heavily on Pearson traffic. It can happen that they tell you to hold for 45 mins. or cancel IFR...

This means that you spend a lot of time (and therefore money) getting to an airport with the necessary approach facilities (Kitchener, London, etc.) to do the training.

I went to Perimeter in Winnipeg for three weeks, which was enough to do the whole thing :ok:
