The problem with getting guys in canada is that Ek wants 2000 hours of jet time. Unless you managed to get on with one of the major carriers in Canada, its hard to come by jet time, though there are tons of guys running around with 7K + hours of turbo prop.
Until EK chnages their policies on jet hours, they will be missing out on some quality canadian drivers who just don't get the opportunity to get onto jets with 500 hours total time like most euopeans can.
