Luc,

I admit near complete ignorance of the rules in Canda.

In the US, the FAA takes a dim view of using a homebuilt for
any training save that of the owner.  Commercial use of a homebuilt
is also expressly forbidden, i.e., paying someone to rent their Europa.

While you are waiting for your a/c to be legal to fly, I would suggest
also getting low powered tail dragger time like a cub or champ.
More glider time would also be very helpful, but remember to keep
the nose up in landing (try to visualize a prop there!)

In the end, you will either find a volunteer to loan you a monowheel
(unlikely I am afraid due to insurance rules and accident rates), or
you will wind up training in your aircraft when ready.

Good luck,
Ira
