ZBB is great for IFR training for a couple reasons:
First, It's only 3 nm and 1200' vertically from the YVR TCA. So, you get busy fast. And YXX is only about 12 minutes away, and they have an ILS, so the ferry time on your training flights (if necessary) is short, yet you still get constant interaction with terminal control.
Second, and more importantly I think, they get lots of IMC weather this time of year.
So, if you decide to come out here, don't just look at Pro. i mean, they are good, but so is Canadian Flight Centre. They have a couple of Seminoles in really nice shape and good instructors. Them and Pro are the top 2 IFR programs out there, but worth mentioning is Montair, and Pacific Flying Club. (both have Senecas).
hope this helps.
