randy, i think if you want, there will be many opportunities in euro land,talk to the agencies etc. things are already getting almost desperate over here, so if you want in then start talking now!
taildragger,
you are right ,it just depends on the individual,if you like europe then you can have a nice lifestyle over here, and at least double your salary, we are seeing pay awards of around 15 to 20% and this is only the start!!!with some euro contrys giving good tax deals to attract foriegn people!!!, I am trying to get to canada, for lifestyle reasons, but the canada imm is bl****y awkwards, and I have not even looked at lic' conversion yet, but in the meantime I take home to her indoors about 8500 can every month! as a jet fo and this is set to rise significantly in the comming months so good luck all,the choice is yours
regards

Gearup-lightup,
I'm not sure what company you work for but I too work as an F/O on Jet a/c and make no where near 8500 Cad/mo. As for the 15 to 20% pay rise ! Where did you get that info from?
I'm looking for info from anyone who may have left the UK for Canada. Differences in earnings in the jet jobs etc. ie is it worth the move?
Cheers eh!

Gearup I am not looking to go to Europe, just hoping that they might lure some from Canada so that we can get some rises in pay. 
Europe just can't offer me the flying I can get in Canada. I also enjoy living there, and I'm moving back there today as a matter of fact. (by way of the U.K. for a friends wedding) Life for a poor, old chopper guy just ain't the same on "The Continent".
The immigration dept is about the same as any other immigration dept I've had to deal with. They just take time, they are civil servants after-all. I was actually surprised by the ones here in Aus (for my wifes application). They were helpful, and pretty quick. But then they process "family class" requests first. Good luck with your application, they may be slow, but they do get around to all of them.
Cheers

Just got told that the waiting list for an interview at Sydney is over 30 months (this is not a joke)!! Obviously Aussies and Kiwis are not a target group.
Surely all the immigrants that come out of India and China don't get interviewed.
Can anyone advise what the waiting time is at Buffalo, NY??
BTW I have a job to go to but its not HRDC endorsed (bummer!)

Drop Bags Bar,
can I enquire as to the date when you dropped the paperwork in and the date you got interviewed?
I was told that they were still interviewing people from 1998 but I might have been talking to the department gumby (sure sounded like it). Dates from specific cases would give me a better idea.

DROP BAGS BAR ,
In relation to convertion to Canadian ATPL: What do you mean by "the longest wait is having your log book verified" and what is duration and cost of flight test?
Thank you

Thanks Cyclic for the post,
Its a shame that we have to endure 4 pages of FW wage discussion before some interesting comments.
I plan to be in Canada in 2002. I will convert my licence at Heli-college or CHC and then go looking for work and sponsorship. Its really going out on a limb not having any guarantees.
Can you advise how much an OZ/NZ ATPL would cost to convert? I have 1000hrs+ on pistons and 1500hrs on S76 as co-pilot. Real keen on the bush ops and learning more longline. Could you advise any employers to try?
Thanks

Collective Bias: Rumor has it that CHC Domestic (CHL) is/will be looking for S-76 pilots. I think their minimum requirement is a commercial with 500 hours total , Instrument rating and ATR exams written. I just recently saw an add for Cougar helicopters , they are looking for 2 co-pilots for the 61 and Puma + plus a VFR pilot.

collective bias,
Have a look at www.aerocourse.com, did 3 days with aerocourse (had P.S.)(www.aerocourse.com)and passed all three exams, about CAN$400 for the course, and CAN$40 per exam.
You will need to do a small flight test, talk to B.G at Juan Air, they may be able to help, nice mob [email protected] (it nirmally just a multi engine ride for the fixed wing ATPL conversion, dont know about choppers).

IHL and Zeke,
Thanks for the advice guys it is GREATLY appreciated.
IHL, I have been on to Dave McCutheon at CHC Eastern. He seemed keen but it is always hard when you are continents away to relate your serious interest. I think the best option is to get the licence converted and show up in person.
Drop us an e-mail sometime and tell us what you are up to over there. Thanks again, maybe I can shout you guys a beer next year.
