If immigration is not an issue and you are okay with going to the bottom of the list, I think your chances are very good... but it seems HR is always a mystery on who they pick.
I say put in an application and see if you get an interview. You can ask questions in the interview and get what should be accurate information.
Air Canada is hiring a lot right now (by Canadian standards) and rumours have it career progression is rather quick (again by Canadian standards).
