Unless you're training for the PPL here in Canada, where spins and
recovery are part of the required syllabus at about lesson 11.

Transport Canada removed spin training from the syllabus in the late
1990's (I don't know the exact year). It was not part of my PPL
training in 2002.

Am in temp hiatus in my lessons due to financial shortages but I
understood
from my instructor that it was just around the corner, lesson immediately
after stalls. Let's see - lesson 13 in the FTM Aeroplane, 4th edition.

however it's not in the flight test standards.

Lesson 13 in the online version of the flight training syllabus talks
about
incipient spins and recoveries but the downloadable PDF file still calls
for
full spin training. Wonder what the real story is.

The real story is you still do spin training - you don't have to enter
a full spin - incipient spins and recoveries are sufficient, and
you don't have to demonstrate spins/recoveries on your PPL flight test.
