Air Canada states 1000hr TT, but in reality they hire guys with 4000-6000hrs, with turboprop PIC time, northern experience and sometimes with corporate jet PIC time. 1000hrs might get you into Jazz if you are very lucky but the airlines including Westjet never hire with the minimums stated. 3000hrs is the absolute minimum you would see yourself in the right seat of a commercial jet, or left seat in a heavy turboprop.

And that of course is if you have the legal right to work here. There are no sponsorships for this profession
