Couple of questions, which will most likely drive your decisions.
  • Do you have any training or experience at this time?
  • Do you have the right to work in Canada at this time?
You will not find a good apprentice position with a good company without basic training. BCIT is one option if you come into the Vancouver area - BCIT : : aerospace / aviation : : Welcome to BCIT aerospace

The domestic industry is very uncertain where it is going right now until the season kicks off and we see where the economy is headed. Already some impact has been felt in the mining and resource sector, so potentially jobs may become tighter. There are jobs located all over the country, but Vancouver is a centre for everything rotary. Do you have a specific location or a specific career goal within the industry that you want to achieve?

Feel free to ask anything else that might help you make your decision. This is a great part of the world to work and live in, and there is every kind of opportunity in the rotary world on the doorstep.
