How Much Does it Cost to Become a Pilot? It costs $18,000 CAD to become a private pilot when starting with no previous experience, and $24,000 CAD to finish Commercial Pilot License, where both Night Rating and VFR-over-the-Top are included. Multi-IFR rating costs $17,000 CAD. The latest estimated cost of Flight Training at different stages can be found on Tuition and Fees page. All prices are in Canadian Dollars.
The length of time required to complete the training will vary student to student. As a result, the actual total cost will vary. A student’s level of commitment and aptitude or full-time vs. part-time status are factors that will affect the cost.
At Professional Flight Centre, there is no need to pay full cost of tuition in advance. Instead, students are charged by “flight time” following each training session. This is the time from engine start to engine stop. Moreover, the flight training cost is identical between domestic and international students.
Detailed cost information can be found on each training program’s page:
