Good post men it looks encouraging, just one question.

Don´t you need at least 500 hours of total time to be hired¿? I read something about some insurance conditions, can somebody be hired with just 200 tt¿??

Good flights pilots

Hi again, I just would like to add something else. I thing there will always be unemployed pilots in Canada because there are LAZY people everywhere, especially in Spain. I´m sure some slacker pilots reject jobs up north if they are living happily in Toronto, because it is "too far, just to fly a sm...

Good answers men. Personally, it sounds like you're looking for flying hours, not Canada Yes, it is. I´ve never been in Canada so I don´t know how life is there. My parents are not canadians but spanish, my friends are from here, my universtity, house...everything here. I´m just a young student pilo...

Hi again pilots ¡ 8) :lol: I´ve been on holiday in the beach all this week so I couldn´t answer before. Thanks for your advise. I´ve been reading about the Canada- European free trade agreement and it could be working next year, but I am not sure yet how it could benefit me, we well see by then. Any...

I listened there was a time when rookie pilots could get a flying job with just 200 hours TT, just 3 years ago, is that true? Can anybody corroborate this?? I read in europeans forums than some years ago,(( maybe around 2007)) some foreigners pilots got jobs in Canada even before finishing their fl...

The industry is very tight right now Unfortunately true. The Low Cost airlines are hiring Very few airlines are hiring because many of them have been firing pilots, it´s a bad age to be a pilot in Europe. And the airlines who have been hiring are asking type rating of airbus 320 or boeing 737 and h...

I ve received many answers from you and also some private messages, all of them trying to help so all I can show is gratitude. The next step would be focusing my objectives and look for a good place to settle down. After reading some posts, I am considering the cities of Winnipeg -MB- and Yellowknif...

Hi again ¡ I followed reading information and I found out that it would be "quite easy" :? getting the Permanent Residency . Immigrating as a Skilled Work, I guess I would have freedom to change employer, unlike with temporary permission. http://www.immigration.ca/permres-independent-highskilledocc....

Sorry modi13 ¡¡ I guess we were writing at the same time because I didn´t read your last message. Thank you very much for your interest

Thank you very much, few by few we are making way :idea: I´ve been reading I would be a "skilled worker" as a nurse, since they just ask: For your application to be eligible for processing, you must: include the results of your official language proficiency test, AND have a valid offer of arranged e...

Thank you very much for the answers, canadians seem very polite people. And don't overlook work permit/visa requirements... I was thinking about this and I hope I can get the work permit as a nurse . I was reading they need many of them so I could get a chance, I read it´s easier and faster for them...

One question guys, when you talk about working the dock for a year, do you mean working the spring-summer months on the ground to get the flying job the next summer? Or you mean working on the dock the whole year¿??

That´s all

the only thing you are going to get with 200TT is a ramp job with the hope that you get a flying job in a year or two. That´s exactly what I expect, i´ve been reading this forum for a long time. My idea is climbing step by step, and some day coming back to Europe with many hours and find a job anyw...

Its best not to take the aviation industry too seriously Spend your life getting a normal job and a degree outside of aviation If I would receive 1 dolar each time I have read this, I would be rich, it´s a famous topic in european forums. I have a normal job, I am a nurse, but I don´t want to spent...

4,000 unemployed commercial pilots in Spain??? Of course, it is true, all spanish pilots know about our situation, that´s the reason whay Canada looks heaven for us, at least some few years ago. I´m going to inform you about prices The flight school costs us between 50 000-70 000 euros (93 300 cana...

Hi guys, writing an european private pilot student :wink: . How many unemployed canadians pilots do you think there are right now in Canada? I listened there was a time when rookie pilots could get a flying job with just 200 hours TT, just 3 years ago, is that true? When do you think this shortage w...

hope you are aware of the considerable time and money it takes to convert a Canadian CPL back to the European License. Yes, I am pretty aware, if I am not wrong converting the full pilot license is about 6 000 euros. Now if he comes here with more than just a student visa than it is a different sto...

Thanks for your answer Brewguy :wink: , very nice. Many of the people on this forum, are looking to get the same job you want to come to Canada to find. And many of those people believe that jobs in Canada should first go to Canadians . Well, I understand them, but of course each person have to figh...

Thanks for your answers :D . I don't want to get your hopes up. Don´t worry, this is the second recession aviation gets throw since I am interested on it so I am starting to be used. Are you doing your PPL in Europe or in Canada? I am doing it in Spain, starting it in few months 8), I have chequed i...

Hello, I am a spanish guy and in January I am starting the private pilot license, wich will take me some months. Afterwards, I would like to follow my studies for becoming a pilot, doing CPL, ME, IR... Currently it is nearly impossible finding a job as a pilot in Spain with 200 flying hours, so I am...

Can´t anybody give more specific information please?? Came on :? All of you are canadian pilots, you must know the visual requirements of your own license, Please, I really need it but I don´t understand the text :| I just want to know the specific number of diopters the first time, in the initial e...

Thanks for your answer, the problem is that I have read it before but I can´t undestand it since I am not an expert in vision topics, in Spain we call it in a different way applicant shall be required to have a distant visual acuity of not less than 6/9 (20/30) in each eye separately, with or withou...

Thanks for your help, loopa and v6g. :goodman: I hope not having problems, but could you tell me what are the maximum diopters in the Initial exam?? You won't have any problems. This would be great :smt040 I supose they are more permissive in the renewals, like in Europe, but I am worried for the fi...

Thanks for the answer BTD, but I still have doubts. What does "20/200" means?? In the link you gave me it says " the applicant possesses a visual acuity without correction in each eye separately, not less than 6/60 (20/200) and the refractive error falls within the range of ± 3.0 diopters (equivalen...

Hello, I am a spanish guy who is going to start ppl in few months in my country, Spain. I got the class 1 medical exam some years ago, ( european) I mean JAA.
