Hello,

I hold a canadian commercial pilot's license with no Multi Ifr.

I want to end up with a JAA Frozen ATPL.

What do I have to do ?

Do you have the right to live and work in Europe?

Get yourself a Canadian multi IR first. It would save a lot of money. Then you can convert. You need to pass all 14 JAA ATPL exams, then conversion courses for the Commercial and and mult IR. You need to pass the JAA CPL flight test then a minimum of 15 hours conversion training for the multi IR. Most of which can be done in a sim. 15 hours is the minimum by the way. You will be put forward for the test when ready not when the 15 hours is complete. So it's important to get the best IR training you can find.

The main stumbling block are those pesky exams.

Do you have to pass all 14 exams in a row?

Say you pass exams 1 2 3 and fail 4, what happens? do you have to redo them all?

Exams are studied either in house or distance learning.

In UK at least it's A max of 4 attempts per exam and a maximum of 6 sittings to do them all before all 14 must be completed again
