What I find interesting is that in a 'saturated job market' there are Kiwis flying GA in Canada and Canadians flying GA in NZ. Both countries require a prospective employer to prove that they advertised for and could not find a resident pilot before they can get a work permit for a foreign pilot, but there always seem to be ways to get around that rule. I've come across two Canadians who have worked in NZ, one was a floatplane pilot in Taupo. Having good float could well help a Candadian pilot get a job in NZ. The thing to remember though is that If your total time is at the low end of the spectrum and you actually have a job in GA, getting paid and building hours, then you are one of the luckier ones. It can also be seasonal in NZ and you might not find the terms and conditions any better there.
