Well guys... asking advice in such a forum is pointless. We are all here competing against each other. What makes you think anyone here would say "oh sure, come right in... it's not like we don't have enough competition"?
Hey, here's my advice. If you have a foreign license / foreign passport, you will have a very very hard time finding a job here... and even if you didn't have a hard time, I would still tell you that you will have a hard time. Why would I want more people fighting for the same jobs?
1. There are a lot of Canadian pilots who are out of work and they should come before ex-pats.
2. When I went to Europe, they pretty much told me to F... Off (unless I pay 20,000 Euros for JAA conversion) and they made things VERY difficult for me. I also hold a E.U. citizenship... Would I help a foreign pilot out? Absolutely not. Not unless he was my friend... and a good one for that matter.
3. Truth is, a good paying job is a good paying job and nothing more. You have to ask yourself "do I want money, or do I want to fly?"
4. Good luck... go somewhere else... The Canadian market is saturated with low time pilots. I just got my first flying gig (well almost, but not before putting in a year on the ramp...) and believe me, I didn't get my job by asking on a forum. I went door to door and started calling old friends...
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but you wanted a truthful answer, you go it. To sum it up. Yes, there are jobs, but the competition is fierce. Not having a Canadian license / work visa can make it harder on you. Not knowing people here in the industry is almost a guarantee that you won't get a job. But hey... try... can't hurt...
