Flight Operations Jobs in Canada?

[High69]

Hi All,

I am a Flight Operations, Base Manager currently working in Africa while overseeing a Base of Operations on behalf of the UN. I dream of living in Canada however my sole contribution for now is 7 years of extensive experience in ops as well as in dispatching.

Currently, I am 10 points shy of the required Canadian pass for a successful immigration application. Accordingly, a job is essential so I may gain access to Canada as well as earn additional points.

Does anybody have useful advice regarding possible jobs in Canada (as well as the Companies who may be willing to employ / sponsor foreigners)? I am even prepared to work in the remotest locations. Job titles would include primarily Flight Operations / Controller or Flight Dispatching?

Any advice would be exceedingly welcome indeed.

I can thoroughly recommend Colt in Calgary. They are a very competent organisation and may (emphasis) be able to help out.

Not sure of their contact information but you should be able to find their website.

Good luck!

Good luck,
