Emigrating to Canada-advice?
Hi chaps
a little dilemma, sure you guys might be able to help.
Currently based in the UK, flying for the RAF on a modern glass cockpit multi-engine aircraft. The time is fast approaching for me to plan my escape from 'the mob' and am now looking to get my civilian licences. To add to this, I have a Canadian girlfriend who is living in Toronto but originally from Vancouver.
So here are my many questions;
How do I go about finding out info about ATPL training in Canada (Air Transport Canada web site is quite hard to get info out of)?
Anyone know of any exemptions based on my military experience?
Would getting my JAR ATPL be of any use (planning to get it whilst still working in the UK, therefore will be infinately easier to study for this rather than a Canadian licence)?
Any idea of costs? Any good school recomendations?
Finally, whats the general aviation situation like over there? Things are picking up over here, is it the same over there? Would eventually like to reside in either Toronto or Vancouver.
Would really appreciate any advise or tips. My thanks in advance
