I'm talking about this one. Sunwing. LMOs. TFWs. FLVCs.

It's a sham. It's a misrepresentation of the labour market in Canada.

Where. You want specifics? Name it.

He doesn't have a Canadian license. Name one (other than Canada) industrialised nation who allow pilots to fly their airliners without their license. Not US. Not EU. Not Australia. Not New Zealand. Not Hong Kong.

No it's not "kind of like a green card", or as we call the equivalent in Canada "permanent resident" LMOs and TFWs are meant for where there is an acute shortage of workers (Citizens or PRs) in a specialised, specific field... That is not the case in Canada.

Where? Without EASA licenses?
