Question Which country aviation is better and hours?

Dear Sir/MAM,

In first line I would like to start with the sentense that I know "Canada is a great country''. But the problem is that Europe is near for us "from Pakistan"... SO I am planning to move to Ukraine (Eastern Europe) and is expected to join EU in coming years...

Anyhow coming to the point; I want to do "Commercial Pilot's license" (CPL with 200 hours). The problem I have here is to choose either doing it from Pakistan is better or from Ukraine. Because here in "Middle East" the pilots of "Askari Pakistan" are preferred; and you know Middle East because of their petrol give nice salery like around 200 000 $ as a starter...

And in Europe I guess Ukrainian pilot will be given more preference because it's near to EU and have a lot of similarities... But I am really confused; my dad always asks me 'which one is better' and I am always left speechless so what I want is a professional idea from you professional friends...


One more thing.... when I go to any airline website and see for the career vacancies.. what they ask is for 'first officer' aka Junior pilot. The minimum requirment is 1000 hours ... Now the problem which bugs is that from my CPL instite I will only get 200 hours. What about the rest of 800 hours??


I look forward for a professional assistance.

Thank you
