Hey V,
1000 hours is a good starting point when looking for work. Currently Air Canada, Westjet and Jazz airlines are hiring which enables movement in the lower industry positions. I would venture that most SE work would be found in flying floats (West Coast) and pipe line patrol in Alberta. If you have your ME/IFR I would push CMA, NT AIR, Pacific Coastal (BC) and Sunwest and Ken Borek in Calgary. I think you'll find though that in Canada you'll need to "camp out" and become a "local" in the company of choices hometown. 1000 hours probably won't get your resume viewed without some repetitive "face" time. Best of luck !!
