Cool

Dougie, first you will need to convert your licence to a Cdn one. To find the info on converting your licence try:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/regserv.../doc/index.htm

This site is where the Cdn. air regs live online.

You will then need to get a work visa. For info on that go to the Cdn immgration website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca

If you are looking for ifr type work, and
I'll assume you have multi-ifr time, my recommendation would be to talk to someone like offshoreigor (he hangs out in here) for some contacts at CHC International. They are world-wide and would be good to try first.

If you're looking for vfr work, you can find any kind of challenge you are looking for. The work can be seasonal, and based on the forestry, and resource sectors. With 1000+ hrs. you shouldn't have too many problems finding work; after you get your visa, and licence stuff straightened out.

Oh btw, if you can, try to time your arrival in early spring. (late feb, or early march)

Cheers, and good luck !!
