If its about flying the big jets and skipping all the rest, you are really doing yourself harm. At 500 hours you don't know Go instruct for a year or so or try to get on a small charter (you may need 1000 hours for that) And while you are flying and upgrading you will be learning at the same time. The men and women that fly in those airliners are the elite, with thousands of hours and years if not decades of flying experience and knowledge.

You can't possibly be so ignorant to think an airline will rest their multi million dollar reputation in the hands of an inexperienced joy-rider. Take the advice that people have been giving you, because combined with everyone on this post who are telling you that you are going the wrong way about it, you got hundreds of years of experience. 500 hours in Canada would probably get you as far as a Cessna Caravan, nothing more. So if you want to get into an airliner you're gonna need like 8 times that.

Good luck with your career, and don't try shortcuts because they don't guarantee to work.
