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.
Air Canada has just announced that they will be laying off over 50% of their current staff. 20,000 out of 30,000. so I suggest you don't get your hopes up
