Hi¡ I am a spanish guy and Im also interested about going to Canada to find a job, here in Spain it´s bieng and going to be dark for pilots for many many years...
I have been reading information in this forum and also in
www.avcanada.ca for months, and even in Canada the situation to find a flying job looks very difficult.
If I am wrong please tell me, but in 2007, just 3 years ago, all was really different, with many job offers for the called "200 wonders", right canadians¿?
Canadians, how long do you think it will take until coming back to the "good seasons" as 2007? A couple of years¿?
The process for flying an airplane with a salary is long, and after getting the work permit, probably you will have to become a "rampie", I mean working in the ramp or in the dock for some time, between 4-6 months until 1 or 2 years, I guess it depends of the demands of pilots.
The steps might be:
1. Getting canadian license CAA
2. Getting the permanent/temporary work permit
3. Working the ramp/ the dock
4. Start flying an airplane probably older than me far from civilization, near Qikiqtarjuaq
Correct me if I am wrong.
