The job situation in Canada is pretty pathetic right now. The fixed wing market is attrocious with many new pilots working as dispatchers and dock-hands at fly in lodges etc. with the hope that in one or two years they will get a right hand seat and then maybe a few years later the left hand seat.
There is a possibility that the rotary market will be short of experience very soon.
So, basically, give Canada a miss right now.
Just heard the worst possible rumour that Air Canada are going to lay off approximately 800 pilots. When they flood the market then there will be no room for any pilots coming into Canada. Immigration may even disallow applications for residency if you are a pilot and looking for work in Canada.
