Australian ATPL to Canadian
 

Does anybody know of the best way to convert from an Australian ATPL to the Canadian ATPL?

forget it mate..:{ .. they won't answer you...too afraid that you might take their jobs ....

www.tc.gc.ca

look under pilot licencing and conversion.

I hope you have a work visa because nobody will sponser you here.
its just the way it is.

Funny world , a few of my friends here in canada are trying to go down under for work ...... as pilots we are always on the move ...... good luck

Thanks guys -appreciate your help.... I'll check out the site

Incredibly simple really.

There are 2 ATPL exams, SAMRA & SARON plus an I/R exam to be done.
After that just an I/R flight test and the issuing of the licence. I converted a NZ CPL into a Canadian ATPL in 2001 and it cost no more than $2000 and took about 5 days. All the pre-study was done prior to arriving in Canada and the exams were on demand.

One word of caution though. Some Transport Canada employees have different takes on the rules/regs of converting. I did mine through a central Canada office and it was easy. The guy who I tried to deal with in the BC office did a lot of hemming and hawing and told me it was impossible.

Good luck
