Flying in Europe

Hey guys,

Here's the deal- I am 22 years old currently living in Canada. I am just finishing up my degree and my flight training right now, and will be done everything in the next 4 months or so.

I am curious as to what is needed to fly in Europe? Will having a EU passport do the job? Or, do you need some form of residency?

I would like to apply for my European Union Passport (I am assuming having this will allow me to look for work anywhere in the EU, along with the converted JAA licenses). My mother was born in Holland, and I currently have family in: England, Holland, Switzerland, and France.

How can I go about applying for my EU Passport? Is it a tough thing to get? Can my mother or her family sponsor me?

I hope somebody can help answer my questions. I would love to have my EU passport, but don't know how to go about applying for it (or even if my mom can sponsor me). Also, I wonder if having the passport alone will allow me to apply to some of the cadet programs throughout Europe... or could I convert to JAA and apply to some airlines?

Thanks in advance and enjoy the holidays!
