Alpine Aerotech just posted an ad, try them. And Cascade is usually looking too.
Re: Jobs for apprentice Strucure Techs?
You might have a tough time finding work in structures since Aveos shut down. About 100 experienced structures guys lost their jobs in Vancouver and are also out there looking for work. Also a few hundred more in Winnipeg and Montreal. Although most of them are probably trying to get out of aircraft maintenance and into something more stable.
You also might want to fix this sentence in your cover letter:
"I love working on aircrafts and look forward to learning more about fixing them and the repair process’s while developing my skills."
"aircrafts" should just read aircraft and "process's" is spelled processes. Spelling and grammar are very important on a resume!
And saying you are willing to relocate "as long as the company seems stable enough for me to do so" isn't going to impress a potential employer. I would take that statement out.
Good Luck. Personally I think you would have a better career if you just stuck with your plumbing.

Ya it seams like its going to be hard to find a job doing this which is unfortunate seeing how much I enjoy it but hopefully something will pop up in the near future. Thank you for the cover letter advice nice to get input from other people.
