I used the Harv's Air prep ($100.00), plus a copy of the AIM. The quiz (25 questions) went well. Just get the Class 1 medical and follow the procedure. The ATP conversion costs $100.00 plus thirty bucks per type rating. The folks in the Transport Canada Winnipeg office were friendly and helpful, and they accept Visa.

Except for the money it's painless unless some medical problem crops up. Get a Canada-sized passport photo (I mean per Canada specs, not "the size of Canada"

) and have it when you show up for the written; you need it to get the license booklet. A Costco up there can do it for you.
I also took the RRTO exam (it's free, and the material is online). That's done through designees; I used a fellow at Windsor Flying Club.
Now I just wish I had the right to work as well.
