Moving North

Hi Guys..
Looking for some info regarding prospective employers anywhere in Canada. At present busy with Immigration Canada and plan to immigrate within the next 12 months.
9500 hrs T/T with Turbine DC3 / HS748 / Saab340 all as P1 as well as a number of other aircraft types.
Not shy to work or travel from home in the future.
South African and FAA ATP with worldwide experience including Canadian contract work done in 2003 and 2004.
Thanks for any feedback and assistance.

Canada

Why Canada?

Last edited by jeff748; 9th Dec 2006 at 07:43. Reason: Didn't have the heart to spell out how awful the flying life can be there sometimes, so I simply asked the question.

Flying in the north was great depending on where you go there is some incredible scenery. Wouldn't have wanted to do it forever of course but a great experience. There are always a few whiners but they probably shouldn't be in aviation anyways.
