NZ Pilot to Canada - Worthwhile?

Hi Canadians,

I am currently a NZ Pilot looking to move over to Canada sometime soon.

My experience - 28 years old

- DHC 8 Classic series- 1500 hours FO and building
- Command Single Engine - 1200 hours
- Should have my NZ ATPL soon.

From my brief research so far I understand that one has to re-sit exams etc + flight test if converting from a NZ CPL to a Canadian CPL...no problem.From a NZ ATPL - Canadian ATPL, is it a straight conversion with maybe a law exam required to be sat.

I plan to come into Canada and work on a working holiday visa. A commonwealth visa arrangement. So I will have the right to live and work in Canada and believe that this can be renewed.

Question 1: With my experience and once I have my licence, how realistic will it be for me to find a job?

Question 2: Anyone know of someone who has done the same?

Chur to the MAX in advance for responses!

...am i delusional to think that this whole process will work for me as envisaged?

Anyone have a Canadian girl I can marry?
