"Av Canada" is the biggest forum for Canadian pilots.

Note that Canada is NOT the United States, and what applies in the US does not necessarily apply in Canada.

College degrees: In the US it's must, but in Canada no one really cares. Air Canada might give you some extra points for a degree, but that's about it.

Jobs: Pick a card any card. There are a million factors, many of which are out of your control such as the state of the economy at the time.

Just watch out for Flying Schools and Instructors who are going to try to sell you a lot of Sunshine. They're sales people and they want your money above all else.

Most importantly, go download Season 1 and 2 of the "Ice Pilots". You need to know what you're getting into, and I can't think of a better show that depicts the culture/mentality/ethos of Canadian aviation.
