This is what I found online, when I was looking for my TC conversion. I still haven't done it yet, but may be it will help you.

I agree it costs more money to self study and write the test, but like anything else you get what you pay for, and taking a $300 dollar 3 day course can better help you understand operating under the CARs. More than that I made useful connections towards employment. If you have never operated in Canada you will also need to get your ROC-A, which is a self study short written and possibly verbal test with an Industry Canada examiner and must be taken in person.

Second, you do not have to take any ROC-A exam or verbal test. I did the FAA conversion in 2009 and know of others that did it in 2010 and only took one exam.
The CARs are not that much different than the FARs. If you think you can gain valuable connections going to a prep test class, then by all means attend.

You're right Urge, I mis-spoke. I meant it costs more THAN to self study. Of course taking a 3 day class costs more, but again you get what you pay for. However you go about it doesn't really matter in the end. Personal preference. Anyhow, you do need a ROC-A. It's not a TC CAR, it's an Industry Canada requirement and yes, you will need it if you want to go to say, Air Canada, i.e. cannot get hired without it. Identical to the FCC Restricted Radio license in the states, it's a must, but easy to take care of ahead of time. Just a heads up. Urge, are you working in Canada after taking this route?
