There are other ways than marrying a local. Try Googooing Provincial Nominee Program and see what comes up. Most of the Canadian provinces are looking for foreigners to immigrate to keep your growing economy, well... growing.

Fortunately, the people working at Immigration Canada and at the Nominee Programs do not have the same prejudice against foreigners as some people posting here.

There are good and not so good pilots everywhere, also in Canada.

It is a fact that Canadian economy is on the up and you can be optimistic about future employment as pilots.

Have a good day guys/girls.

Hey guys,
US Citizen living in Baltimore MD working for SWA. What if my Family and I wanted to move to Canada. We don't want to commute! My wife is a F/A. She could walk away but my seniority and pay rate is great. I know its a big change and the $ and seniority will not be the same but is it possible to buy a house, become a Citizen, send the kids to school, get some benefits, and get an aviation job that provides a decent wage/lifestyle. YES, I realize it will not be a 5ooosq' house on the water, with 25 plasma TVs, 1 SUV with spinners, 2 sports cars, BMW wagon, a Beaver on floats, a huge fence around my 5 acres and 2 SeaDoos, a sail boat and a 35' Cruiser. WE don"t care about that meaningless crap that seems to be whats valued so much here ...:ugh:

Go Hockey Canada :ok:

H2O

Since you don't seem to be very picky about your house by the lake and rid of meaningless stuff. Why don't you negotiate with Joe at Buffalo Airways

He might have use for an experienced pilot and a flight attendant. You don't mind your lake beeing frozen half the year do you?

(Ok, I'm trying to be funny here. Your post made me giggle, especially after seeing Ice Pilots)

Oh but come on guys! Go north and marry a local - there's a ton of beautiful babes up there in northern Ont/MB/SK/AB. You normally find them around the 7-11 or liquor store and they're pretty chatty too... (eh pilot guy, you wanna come and get to know me better eh?!) :ok:

LMFAO. Yup, come and fly in gods country and check out those reservations! :ok:

lk978 That is a very narrow minded view.

What about the Canadians here in Aus? there is an aussie company advertising for a float pilot because canadians are more qualified then aussies on floats. They don't want to train anyone up.

There is a strong economic argument for the globalisation of labour if you would like the details pm me.

One of the great parts of it is the transfer of skills, we learn from your float guys and you might learn something from us. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/thumbs.gif

When you listen to the radio calls up in the patch or in the north and you find a ton of chopper guys with Kiwi and Aussie accents. I found it kinda odd until I asked WTF are all these Aussie doing up here? Turns out herding cattle and such in the out back with choppers is a good way to build hour and gain a ton of experience down there. Sucks for the Canadian low time chopper pilots trying to get a start but It sucks just as much for the Aussie float pilots who have to deal with all the float drivers up here that got their start servicing fishing lodges etc and have gone down there for work.

Oh and the Aussie who won silver just behind a good Canadian kid who took gold in the Winter Olympic Skiing Moguls was a Canadian actually he grew up a few miles from the hill he was the first looser on. :ok: call it even id say.
