"Bunkhog has it spot on. It is not necessarily immigration that it the issue. It is the Reciprocity.
Try applying for an immigrants Visa to China and see how far you get."
Notice my location? I am a Canadian. I did it. So what is your point? That you dont really know diddley about that of which you speak? There is 875 of us here that I know of..And at least 100 or them are Canadian..Are there 100 Chinese nationals flying in Canada right now? Or does it not count for some reason or other unlike Sunwings .
To the OP.. Tough hall for a fresh CPL in Canada.
To firestorm..Welcome..We are not all like the posters here. Some of us have even been outside the borders of Canada.
I spent over 30 years flying in Canada.. Retired,and have now flown all over the world..The whole foreigner issue was started by a couple of Air
Transit types who realized Sunwings business model was better, and so made all sorts of claims about unfairness, none of which were supported by any evidence at all.Just inuendo...In fact, as the facts do come out, it appears over the last five years it turned out to be pretty balanced... And the cause got taken up by those in Canada that cant see past their nose and believe that even if you are not qualified, if you are Canadian, you should damn well get the job.
My family has hated foreigners ever since we came to this country.!
As to daddy's poor widdle boy...tell him to suck it up buttercup. Its a tough world out there.
