What part of Canada are you interested in?

As Paul knows already from his IFR flying in Canada, there's usually an NDB approach corresponding to each ILS approach, and it serves as a backup when the localizer is U/S. That's what's happening in Halifax right now. Most ILS approaches in Canada have an NDB where the outer marker would be in the U.S. (i.e. like an LOM).

Now if you want to do NDB training around here you have to go to Penn Yann which is uncontrolled and the NDB is right on the field. I find those ones with the NDB right on the field (instead of coincident with the outer marker for the ILS approach a lot easier to fly because even if you're homing instead of doing proper wind correction you'll end up at the end of the runway.
