Instructor internships for foreign flight students

[Jay_solo]

Are there any flight schools in Canada offering jobs as instructors for foreign flight school students after they complete their training? (Like Ari-ben and other flight schools in the US)

I'm a foreign flight student in canada and will be starting my instructor rating in the new year...once you've trained you can apply for a post-graduate working visa and work for the flying school as an instructor, i believe it's a fairly quick process.

Good luck with that if you don't have at least 1000-2000 hrs +

[Canadapilot]

Yes Mess. that's right, 1000 - 2000hrs to be an instructor! what a joker

harvsair.com will acept international instructors provided you commit to 1 year.

Really?? Well I'll email Adam and get more info. Do you know anyone who has done it?

How likely is it to get a work permit as an foreign flight student in Canada? If I manage to get a temporary work permit to work as a Flight Instructor for one or more years - how likely will then my chances be to apply for a Permanent Resident status?

Thanks,

i have checked out that instructor internship programme (www.priacademy.com) and it looks very good. However, at 65,000 euros, thats waaaaaaay to much! I already have 200 hours, I'm just looking to start my flying career by instructing first. so I just need my CPL + instructor rating, and a work permit for a year would do nicely. then add on everything else and move from there.
