Find out where the demand is highest right now in Canada. For instance, is Georgian looking for guys? If so, find out if they will type rate you on the B-1900 and ask what this would entail. If they don't, ask if you had one, would it help? If they say yes, ask for advice on where to get one? It's a round about way of saying that you are willing to pay for your PPC. They just might be willing to offer you a job that allows you to pay back the type rating over a period of time. However, be very clear that you are not willing to work for free. Every month there should be a paycheque for the work you've done. Once you get your foot in the door and your first IFR job then usually it becomes easier to find the next flying job and then the next etc.
