How do I Make it to Europe as a Canadian?

Hello all,

I have come to this forum seeking advice and guidance for the best route possible to pursue my career. I am a Canadian who wants to be a pilot in Europe. I don’t need to start off In the airlines if that’s not a good route to take but that is my ultimate goal. I am only 17 but next year I will have to choose my entry point to fulfill my ambitions. I’d like to do a degree if possible and I think that it may help me land jobs with companies in Europe. Obviously the work permit/job sponsorship will be the toughest hurdle to jump as I do not have any citizenship across the pond… I know of a school called Pilot Flight Academy in Oslo that takes in Canadian pilots and trains them to airline-ready status in Europe, but I’m guessing the first job is going to be the most important for my future career. If anyone reading this could at least point me in the general direction of where to start that would be a great help.
