not to be a wet blanket but canada is probably comparable to australia in the aviation jobs department. They've only got 6 more million people and most of those are on the great lakes. I had a mate that just got back from up there and it sounds worse. Stories like guys sitting right seat of a beech 1900 for 7 years, stuff like that. If you're after your first couple 1000 hours it's similar to oz, you gotta go hang out in eskimo country for an opening. someone else may be able to give you the work rules better than i though...good luck
