From a Brit with 18,000+hrs working Utility in Canada,.
Too be honest you chances are as said, pretty slim. The industry is on an upturn here for sure. I’ve been racking up flight pay constantly and my company is short of pilots.
But as said, experienced crews with type ratings on 407,350,205,212. And the kicker is experience on longline, drills, fire etc. Most seats require at least 1500hrs. I’m seeing requirements actually going up what was 1500 now 2500hrs.
You can PM me with your details, we do hire low time but no work permit, no work simples. The days of companies sponsoring low time foreign hires is pretty much done here. Way too much hassle for us.
Good luck in your future endeavours, don’t let me put you off. Just being honestly realistic Bud. Like I said, I’m a PM away for advice Brother.

Hi there folks,
I'm thinking about moving out to Canada from the UK as an EASA CPL(H) with ME IR and ATPL theory complete and a FAA CPL(H) IR CFI/II. I have around 475 hours majority on the R44 however I do hold an AS355N type rating.
I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the prospects out there for someone in my position as the market in the UK seems a bit saturated and at the hours level I'm at seems to be out of reach.
And advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

You could come here and try that until you build up to 1500, then get some turbine time in the Grand Canyon?
,and so on,...?

Converting FAA Chpl to Canadian.
Guys . The last I have flown was 2010 . I have FAA CHPL . Now I'm settling in Canada and I wish to get back on my flying career . My questions are
1. How to convert the FAA CHPL to Canadian ?
2. What exams I have to give ? RTR ? MEDICAL ?
3. How to go about being current or flight review ?
4. Anything that I've missed in the questions that I need to proceed ?
Thanks .
Also, you could reply me on [email protected]

The FAA licence can be converted directly with a paperwork exercise - I believe it is 20 questions on the Canadian side and 40 on the US side if you are going the other way. it could be the other way round.
You would need a medical and some currency time.
