CHC were certainly paying for IRs and type ratings + MCC recently. They may still be doing it, as more pilots are definitely needed in most bases. The first step is the aptitude tests and 'psycho' check. After that if you are found to be sufficiently mad, you may be thrown an offer.
If you check the website, you will find there are a number of positions available, so if you havent already, get you CV in and join the party!
