Getting a Rating/PPC outside of Canada Question
Good time of day,
Hoping someone can help me out here, Transport Canada hasn't been able to give me an answer so far for over a month, so greatly appreciate any help I can get.
So I've got a job offer on a Piaggio Avanti in Central Asia, they want to send me for training ASAP (and this was a month ago) to Italy. The facility in Italy is EASA certified.
Problem is I only have a Canadian ATPL and I would be (lucky me) the first Canadian to get my training there, so they have no clue on how to go about it and if Canada would recognize their training. They suggested I contact Transport Canada with the question, which I did (Ontario Region) over a month ago. Still no answer.
The hopefully future employer understandably would like something in writing from TC that they would accept the training in Italy before they pay around 20k USD for said training.
Has anyone had any experience getting a Type Rating or a PPC in Europe and registering it with TC? Greatly appreciate any advice or experiences anyone here had with something similar.
Thanks,
Vic
