Basicly, lots of lower time Canadian pilots looking for work who by law and moral code are first in line.
I'm sorry, but take for example the working holiday visa scheme. It allows the applicant, who has to be under a certain age, to work under the same conditions as a local for a certain amount of time, normally 1 - 2 years. It's based on reciprocity, which means that if for example 500 Swedes are allowed to go to Canada, 500 Canadians are allowed to go to Sweden to work.
Why are Canadians "by law and moral" first in line for a job, when Canadians can come here and take up work here? The JAR CPL(H) theory is (to be?) made easier so a conversion is not as a big deal as it was before.
