Well, for now I have private, commercial license and I'm got have twin piston engine(Navajo) and IFR rating By mid-mars. I'm currently completing a training a 3 years. I study at the CQFA, a super complete high school college.

For sur I'm not expecting a job on a jet airline. But I can pilot any small twin piston engine.

Do you have anything to help me? Just for fun jrpilot, tell me what is the requirement in USA?

Hi there!

How many hours ya currently got right now? And where in Canada do you live? Are you willing to relocate?

Theres a few places here where I live whose recently been hiring pilots. I know Kenn Borek (an excellent company that flies to the south pole and stuff lol) was recently hiring. Though I think they mostly operate turboprops.

Also, the place I fly at runs a little charter company. Its under a fairly good uniform (one of the vice presidents of WestJet airlines), though im not sure if they are still hiring. I believe they picked up a pilot a week or two ago. Can always try though, as with anything in aviation, you have to go up to their doors.

Lot of companies up north are also looking for pilots, like Air Nunivut

A good site you might want to try is http://www.avcanada.ca. ;

Cheers,
RB

For now I have 160 hours. But like I said, I will finish my training by mid april. I will not be qualified for turboprops. And yes I am very willing to move somewhere else. If you know some companys or others site or people that could help to find a job in Canada, what evere where is, I will very appreciate that.

thanx
