Hello there and greetings from Hong Kong :) I have just finished the medical exam in Hong Kong about a month ago and I haven't heard from Transport Canada. So does anyone know how long does it take to process the medical certificate? And also after it is issued, would it be sent to my home in a pape...

Something to be aware of: PIC and solo time are not the same thing. You need 100 hrs PIC (feel free to take wife, friend, etc along). Solo is defined as the sole occupant of the aircraft. You need 30 hrs of supervised solo for CPL. Are you sure that's how TC interprets it, in practice? Come to that...

So my 40 in Australia are 35 dual and 5 solo . Assume I get the PPL in Canada for 30 dual and 15 solo without counting my previous experience. Then I will need an extra 80 solo to meet the min 100 solo requirement (80+15 from ppl+5 in Aus=100) and extra 35 dual (35+30 from ppl+35 from Aus+100 solo ...

None of the hours will count towards any of the specific CPL requirements (other than the 200 hours total time) in Canada because none of them were obtained post-PPL.

As a general comment Transport Canada will accept training certified by any recognized ICAO authority. That is the training was carried out pursuant to the flight training regulations of the country where the flying occurred and there was a way to ascertain the validity of the training with a logbo...

I'm not familiar with the Australian training system, but if you are planning on using some of those hours to satisfy specific requirements for the CPL, other than the general 200 hours, you'll have to be able to proof the experience. There are for example requirements for night flying, cross count...

.

All those hours could be counted as long as they meet the Canadian requirements. For instance, do you have the instrument time ? etc... Well those 40 hours including some basic theory and some solo circuits etc. But just like PHOTOFLY has suggested, if they can count towards the 200 hours total req...

It's unlikely that you'll need to count extra hours for your PPL, since you will have to do training in Canada. But if you are ready for your PPL and you have fewer than 45 hours training in Canada then you can claim credit (1:1) for the hours you trained abroad, if you have evidence of the trainin...

Towards the 200 hours you can count everything. Are the 40 hour post-PPL? Did you already have a private pilot licence before those 40 hours? You're not clear. If so and you want some of the hours to count towards the 35 hours post-ppl dual instruction hours, or 30 hours post-ppl supervised solo fl...

Thanks!

Do you know whether I can count all those hours or just part of them?
Also is there any conversion procedure that I need to follow or I just need to show my log book?

Hi all!

I am a student pilot from Hong Kong who has trained in Australia before for 40 hours (but didn't get any license).
Can I count these hours towards the CPL minimum requirement (i.e. 200 hours)?

Thanks all!

Hi all. I was looking at the CRS Score Tool and one of the questions is "Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?". It said that one should have studied at a school within Canada and lasted for at least 8 months. And I guess I will get some kind of a graduation certificate from the...

It's probably not the advice you're looking for but would your visa cover working in non instructor jobs? I feel like being in BC or Ontario would have a better job market outside of flying if you plan on working on days off. Also check transit, it looks like some of those schools have bus connecti...

Hi all! Greetings from Hong Kong! And I am looking forwards to being a flight instructor in Canada! After doing tonnes of researches, I have come up with a few choices of flight schools and would like to get some advices! 1. ProIFR (Delta, BC) 2. Coastal Pacific Aviation (Abbotsford, BC) 3. Harv's ...

Crime rate is only high in one area of the city that has drugs and poverty, it’s very easy to stay away from that spot and most of the city is quite safe. The flight school isn’t in the city they have 2 locations one in a town 10 min north of the city (St. Andrews) and the other in a town 45 min to...

Id suggest Harv's Air personally. With the weather being VFR more frequently than the other spots, chances are you'll likely keep more current and fly more often, which helps by being current. (if you don't fly for a week, the first portion of the first flight back will be getting back in the swing...

Btw did you get the PR eventually? I ran out of time with my Work Permit and ended up returning to India. Then applied for my PR from there and returned a couple years later. Been here since 2012 and have eventually become a citizen here. Yeah that is exactly what I am worried about. If my PGWP is ...

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I guess probably I may need to get rhe PR as soon as possible... Originally I'm planning to finish all the things from 0 to IR in maybe around 1.5 years. But maybe it's better for me to finish it in 2 years such that I can get a PGWP of 3 years? Btw did you get the PR eve...

Hi all! I am looking into being an flight instructor in Canada My ultimate goal is to work as instructor, then in regional airlines, eventually get 1500hrs and an ATPL such that I can get into other international airlines. I know that I am eligible to get the PGWP and work up to 2 years depends on t...

Thank you so much for your reply!! 2. Yeah I am looking at the PNP too and it will significantly increase the CRS score which I will definitely get it a try. 3. I am just a bit worried that ,let's say, if I cannot accumulate those 1500hrs before my PGWP expires. It is because I know that for a work...
