Avionic Engineering in Canada
I would really like to work in Canada and am qualified as a B2 avionics helicopter engineer. Does this qualify as a skilled trade for immigration purposes? Are there plenty of vacancies available? What are pay scales like?

Good place to start is at CHC or Heli-One see website www.chc.ca click employment and then career opportunities.
Avionics can apply under the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer's.
This way you can work for a Canadian company and not have to move there right away.
If you are from Aberdeen I am sure you are familiar with CHC?

Bell Helicopter has a factory at Mirabel just north of Montreal. Their employment link is http://www.bellhelicopter.com/en/emp...treal/work.cfm.
You might also want to check the manufacturers' sites of the birds you've worked on to see if they have any FSR vacancies. Don't forget that your avionics experience is applicable to fixed wing as well - the lead engineer of one of our Avionics Design groups is ex-Bell. There's quite a movement between Bell & fixed wing dependent on which is enjoying better sales (which ain't the CRJs at the moment).

Get in touch with Transport Canada about converting your licence.
I tried to do it when I moved over here (I was half way through my B2) but TC judt didn't seem to want to help me out. I went with breakdowns of modules, times on each subject as well as Practical experience but apparently this wasn't good enough.
