goin to canada...any advice?

hello everybody!!!

this is my first message in pprune. would like to start of by saying that this is the best site for any wannabe like me to who wants to make a career in aviation. Thank all for all the info.

anways my story is....I am 22 , a college graduate and now dreaming of making it big in commercial aviation. After months of searching for schools and countries, i have decided to head to canada for professional program. The course will help me with 200 hrs of flying hours with all the basic liscences and ratings.

My plan is to atleast gain about 800-1000 hrs before i get back home. I inderstand in USA you can do a bit of flight instruction on a J-1 visa and gain those valubale flying hours. I would like to know if this can be done in CANADA too. I am lil short on onfo for Candadian visa.

I mean will be able to work as a instructor after i get a instructors rating in canada. Do i need a work permit of a sort?

This is gonna be challenging road ahead, so all our tips will be of great help!!!

Thank you everybody in advance
will look forward for your help

cheers and safe flying
arnold
