Rick,Check the PMDG\SIDSTARS folder and see if there's anything there - if not, you have no navdata installed and that explains it. Easiest thing to do is just go get the latest cycle at www.navigraph.com

Hello:I tried CYYZ AND EGLL both of which I used to fly into and out of on a regular basis.

Both of those are definitely in the navdata. The approaches will be in files named cyyz.txt and egll.txt, if you can select these icao's and select a star then you should be able to select an approach.
