hi tread,
i'm a canadian trained in australia. i worked out how much it would cost and how long it would take for me to become fully licenced and registered in one of the canadian provinces.
i came up with $10,000 and 1 year. that includes flights and accomodation, because you have to fly twice, once for each part of the exam. if you remove that from the equation, you're looking at about $6000 CAD and 1 year from the time you apply.
hope that helps
