Let's start with the Immigration question. I can't work in Oz, and you can't work in Canada without being processed. It's not just a matter of just arriving and starting to work, and I would say that without a Canadian parent it ain't going to happen any time soon.. .. .My licence is no good in Oz, and yours is no good in Canada. You need to come and write Canadian exams, take a flight test, then start looking for work.. .. .For the job, I have over 13,000 multi hours with over 7,000 turbine, including Twin Otter and Dash-8 experience and I can't find work. Things are starting to open up mhere, but with 200 or 2,000 hours, my guess is you'd be washing planes and pumping gas for a long, long time - even if you could cross the immigration and licence barriers. There are just too many heavy metal pilots out of work afetr the last slash and burn in Canada to leave anything for the little guys (unless you have a relative in the company).. .. .Your fiancee had better check her agency carefully, too. I was in hospital in 1995 and there were Eastern European doctors in the wards working as male nurses because Immigration begged them to come here as qualified professionals and then the Medical Association required them to go back to Med School and qualify all over again in order to practice in Canada.. .. .The same happens to lawyers and other professionals here... they are lured by the promise of a better life, and end up doing menial labour because they are not licenced to practice here. The words "Canadian experience" are also used very freely to erect other brick walls to immigrants.. .. .I'm not saying it's impossible, but be careful what is promised and what is delivered. Canada is no longer the wonderful friendly place it used to be, not even for Canadians. The enormous useless bureaucratic army of occupation has seen to that.. .. .Good luck...
