Give it time. Hiring is boom and bust, and not just by numbers. I can't remember if I said it earlier, but a company will tell you this week that they have no open positions and they don't expect any in the near future, but the next week they're asking if you could start tomorrow. Somewhere like Ornge is big enough that they may very well have a hiring planning day - a day where HR and Flight Ops gets together to go through the pilot resumes and pick out people to interview or offer jobs to. That's how we did it when I was last involved. There were three of us involved, and we'd each take a stack of resumes to go through at 0900. At 1100 we'd make our initial decisions and by 1300 the interview offers went out. At a busy time we would do that twice a month, but during lighter times (the peak seasons for an airline) we would only do it once a month. Unlucky was the pilot who applied to a position the day after we did one of these as it might be a full month before they heard anything other than the "we received your resume" that we would send out.
