This is a hard one, Bilal. I think that you'd better have those 5 'O' levels and 3 'A' levels plus the right attitude and aptitude - and a ppl with sights on a commercial by the time you're 17 or 18 - for a successful airline pilot career - and you'd better have that career locked in your mind at that time with the full knowledge a support of your family. This is no small undertaking. ... and - yes - it's easier and less expensive in the States or Canada.

Just thought I'd make it clear, it's usually advised that you have the 5+ GCSE's A*-C, with A-levels in Maths and Physics no lower than a C and another of your choice. You're doing a btec course which isn't an A-level, it's a vocational course, A-levels are a separate.

 

I'd like to wish you luck with flight training but competition is very tough from what I've seen and these are only minimum qualifications that airlines and training providers will look for because of competition, although there is no educational requirement for an ATPL. Are you doing A-levels by the way?
