Times are very tough. CHL, the largest Canadian operator, has laid off pilots, AMEs and support staff. The VFR market will be VERY tough this year. IF you have B212 and /or S61 time and want to work in Afghanistan, we are creating a wish list but many of the pilots on that list are experienced, mountain guys with lots of hours.
If it was me, I would not spend a lot of money travelling Canada looking for a low time VFR job this season.
