In the UK and parts of Europe, pilots buy type ratings in hope of getting on a jet fast. This is NOT how it works in Canada and if I were you I wouldnt tell anyone that you have a type rating on a 737 if self funded, it could loose you alot of respect.

Its difficult to say what you could qualify for, if you're under 1000 hrs and under 100 float, you will either end up on a dock, ramp or instruct. If you're really lucky you might end up right seat on a Navajo but those jobs are rare and the guys that get on them usually stay there for a long time to build up their time.

Cheers!
