To evansb and Left Coaster:
1. There are thousands of unemployed pilots all over the world. How many of them tried to meet requirements of a job market in their countries by flying elsewhere?Citizenship is not a guarantee of a job without expirience.
2. There are no illegal pilots in Canada, everybody who flies is qualified for his job and got his paperowrk done. I'm kinda obvious here but people just keep asking this question too often.
There is a bunch of ways to get a legal right to work in Canada.
- get open work permit through express entry.
- get restricted work permit for a particular employer through "Labour Market Impact Assesment".
- send your spouse to Canada for education.
- get education in Canada and apply for an internship.
And many many more. These four I consider as the cheapest in order from the top to the bottom and the most possible in order from the bottom to the top. I don't see a reason why at least one of them wouldn't work.
I agree with the rest of you, guys!
