  There are many flight schools in Canada. Courses and programs vary and often furnish opportunities to gain private, commercial and recreational accreditation as a pilot. Opportunities are not limited to these fields, however. You can gain helicopter training, seaplane time or even experience on the technical side of aircraft maintenance.
