How much does it cost ?
How many lessons do i need?
while unfamilliar with the costs involved in Canada, Here are the requirements for the private license:
Private pilot licenceâ€"aeroplane
The private pilot licenceâ€"aeroplane allows a person to fly as pilot-in-command (PIC) or co-pilot of an aircraft of type aeroplane. This is the most commonly held licence in Canada by non-professional pilots and is generally the first licence earned by the aspiring professional pilot. Generally, the landplane aeroplane class rating is incorporated in the training regimen for this licence and this rating is simultaneously issued with the private pilot licenceâ€"aeroplane by Transport Canada. As such, until further endorsed with other ratings, only day flying of a single engine non-high-performance aeroplane with visual flight rules (VFR) is allowed under this licence.
A pilot with this licence cannot work for hire. No remuneration may be asked with the exceptions of reimbursements for costs and as specified in the CARs section 401.28.
A pilot with this licence may also act as a PIC of an ultra-light aeroplane.
Section 421.26 of the CARs standard Flight Crew Permits, Licences and Ratings specifies the requirements for a private pilot licenceâ€"aeroplane. The CARs contain further detail on how the quantities below may be combined and are summarized as follows:

I recomend getting Microsoft Flight Simulator. It cost from 55 bucks a lesson to 125 and you need at least 40 hours.

The cost of all air lessons is going UP ;)
Type in the words "flying lessons" in the box above where it says SEARCH FOR QUESTIONS you'll see that that question has been asked 547 times. Read a few, I'm sure you'll find all you need to know.

my partner is just in the middle of his commercial licence, so far since the very beggining he has spent roughly £50,000 or more
Well, it's not going to be the same for everyone. It depends on where you take lessons, how much they charge per hour for aircraft rental and per hour for the instructor, how quick you learn, weather, how often you go flying. The more often you fly the quicker it can go, which also means it saves you money because everything stays fresh in your mind. If you study and give it all your concentration until your done then you'll end up on the cheaper side.
Some are able to do it in a month, that's flying almost everyday. Probably average if you're steadily working on it is between 3-6 months. You need a minimum of 40 hours to get your license. It could take you years if you diddle daddle.
But the price range is big depending on all these factors. Say somewhere between $6000 (that's really cheap and everything goes your way) - $15000. I am just talking your private pilot license. You can not fly in the clouds, or a multi-engine aircraft, nor can you be paid to fly for anyone. You need other rating to be able to do any of those things. Good luck.
Hope you aren't looking to learn just how to steer it...
Here we go again
like the old saying goes...if you have to ask, you probably can't afford them.
Why not start out with a flight simulator. It seems you can go pretty far mastering the basics with those, and that ought to reduce the amount of lessons you'd need overall.
But you'll still need a certain minimum amount for certification.
