Hour buliding in Canada
HI all
Since it is quite hard to bulid up hours in Europe I was thinking about trying my luck in Canada.
I have close relatives in Vancouver so it seems like a natural choise to try my luck there.
Does anyone have any good suggestions of what to do, where to go , who to talk to and what courses to take? I have considered a seaplane course. But it seems hard to get a job afterwards. Obviously I would prefer twin/IFR hours but everything have my interest.
Thank you very much

Please clarify, are you trying to get a flying job in canada, or are you just looking for a cheap rental rate?
I know of many europeans who came here to get the required hours for a license, and there are many flight schools who cater very well to international students. It wil save you a massive amount of money.
If a job is what you seek, you are in for a challenge. The job market for pilots here has always been a tough one. As far as I know it is easier in Europe. You may also want to find out if you have the right to work in Canada.

The industry is in bad shape here... Finding a job for low timers is next to impossible right now...
If you are looking to just rent though there are a load of schools who will be happy to take your $$. If you stay in Vancouver, Boundary Bay is the easiest small airport to get to and has at least 5 or 6 schools/clubs with rentals. There is also Langley airport and Pitt Meadows with a handful schools at each.

Quit while you are ahead
Flying in Canada,s oversupplied industry is equivalent to becoming a rock star.In fact you would probably have better luck with the latter.Sorry to burst your bubble,but on the bright side at least you still got your money in your jeans.If your desperate try shootn of a bunch of applications off to Africa.Just don,t ask what your cargo is and get used t isolation and war.
Good luck pal hang on to your wallet and get a real career.Your currently loosing 30k a year that your not working over ten years thats alot of money (food for thought)
