It's actually fairly easy when you're being vectored -- ATC says "turn left to 160" and you turn left to 160; ATC says "not below 2000 feet" and you descend to 2000; etc. The hard part is when they put you on your own: "cleared to the Gatineau airport for an approach", "cleared to the full procedure NDB 07 Ottawa", and so on -- now you have to figure out your own transitions, entry patterns, altitude restrictions, and so on, all the while not forgetting to keep the dirty side of the plane facing down.
