Well first off do you have the right to work in Canada? If not don't read any further.

If you do have the right to work in Canada, there is no shortage of pilots here. Although the beginning of last year (2008) saw good movement and lots of hiring this ceased fairly quickly. Most new pilots with low time will spend anywhere from 1- 2 years working ramp or dispatch in some small northern town with the hopes of getting on flying as a Co-Pilot on a Piper Navajo or King Air. You won't earn very much and even when you get on flying your going to have to paint the owners house or mow his lawn when not flying. Even if you make it through all that, you will get laid off about every Year and half, some companies require you to front large sums of money that you don't have to get a job that doesn't pay much.
