As far as i know you get issued a local license based on your ICAO ATPL. If you don't have a full ATPL they won't look at you.

As far as I know Qatar wants guys with ICAO atpl's....

When converting to a foreign license there are always conversion terms depending on which ICAO country the license is from. The Qatar aviation governing body will make the final decision on the conversion terms, they may hold a JAA frozen atpl in higher regard than our cpl with exams written.

From what I hear they work their pilots pretty hard! Canadian labour code doesn't exist there! Qatar would be a very interesting place to live on the other hand when you're in country!

Good luck!

there is a very extensive Qatar hiring thread on pprune.

Have only seen pilots arriving with an ATPL. Movement onto right seat operations is very quick and they want assurance that the candidate is prepared for a left seat position by having a valid ATPL issued by the Qatar Aviation Authority. Once here, there is little time to follow up on missing license requirements.

Interesting place to live but as mentioned further up this thread, it is hard work. They are serious about fatigue issues for rostering, but it appears to degenerate a bit during an operational month. Captains can, with the agreement of crew, extend the operating hours (to a limit). Have not had to exercise this option, but suspect that it is expected.

Good place to get some global experience if you accept that this region and east will be the powerhouse economies for this century and likely have the best aviation opportunities. Any experience gained here would likely show well on a resume for Canadian carriers as well if you wish a more "traditional" career.
