Canadian Flying

Hopefully i can give you a little insight to the Canadian job market from a Canadian stand point. I am a canadian citizen, and have my float rating, multi-IFR, and commercial. I as well as many of my friends have quite a hard time finding work, and are being forced to move WAY up North in order to get a start in the industry.

Unless you want to be an instructor, and have less than 500 hours, you will be a high time ramp/dock worker, in fact because insurance companies are a$$holes, a lot of float companies are looking for 500-700 hours on floats.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. If a company does not have hull insurance, all you really need is a float rating (7 hours of float time).

Either way, good luck to you, if you have anyother questions about flying in Canada, i would be more than happy to answer some of them.
