Seeking info for floats

Hi all,

Just looking for some advice re jobs on floats. Im a 3500+TT bush pilot looking to move to Canada to get on floats. I used to work in Maun, Botswana and had some of the best days ive ever had. I was wondering if Canada has a similar setup where there are a bunch of float companies working in a small town with good flying and good camaraderie. I would like to go to BC but obviously wherever the job is ill move too. The end goal is to try and get into aerial fire fighting and if anything helps it would be great to know. I understand that its fairly important who you do your float rating with and so looking for advice on this too.
Im waiting for things to get better with the economy and so wont be coming over until the end of 10, or the beginning of 11. When is the hiring season for float drivers?
Also i have the right to work in Canada.

Any advice is appreciated.
