Well,
Canada was built by immigrants and I think somewhere between St-John's and Vancouver you'll be able to find a place to live and be happy...
1 000TT is not going to happen anytime soon, but by the time you get here, start to fly and get an ATPL you should be in good shape. My friends and I all had between 3 000 and 8 000tt when we were called for the interview. Some were Air Force, some were Corporate others were from the feeders. All had turbine time and most were Jet Captains. Some got hired, some got the PFO letter, some are still waiting and others turned down the offer...AC is a great company for some, but not for all.

It's not always easy to leave a company when you're making 110K flying int'l trips on a CL-604 to become an RP for three years making around 40K. Yes, I know, the salary will catch up somewhere down the line but when you have two kids, a pension plan and a brand new airplane to fly it's a little tougher.
You have 360 choices when you're a pilot...but it all comes down to where you're heading.
Good luck!
