+ 1 for Canada. However if you can work in more than one country you may have a chance to build that first 500- 1000 hours faster than in Canada.
It is a big step from flight school to working in the bush in Canada. One of the reasons it can take 3-5 years for that first 1000 hours these days.
But overall if there is one place that has had a good track record over the last 10 years it would be Canada.
Alot of pilots out grow the utility sector available to 2000 hour pilots in their own country. That includes NZ, Oz, US, Europe.
They come to Canada often having never bucketed, long lined or worked in high mountains.
Sure the work may exist in their own land but it belongs to the 10000hr + guys that have already spent time in PNG, Canada etc.
