neektu might sound blunt but is spot on. With more cuts on the way you would probably be on the bottom of the list of getting hired as a pilot. On top of that it isn’t so easy to be a new PR holder to get work in your dream job even with 10 degrees unless some of your double degrees are from Canada or USA and not the online kind. U would need to beat all Canadian pilots, new Canadian pilots and hope the pandemic has disappeared and the industry is creeping back. Other option is Tim Hortons - coffee isn’t going to die down. Sorry but it’s a fact - Aviation isn’t so easy to get into North America and now with gloomy days ahead it’s not going to be an easy industry to have a plushy career

Check that out.
Now, with the current pandemic situation you would stand a very small chance of getting an aviation job, considering the several hundred furloughed pilots in Canada.
