ATPL workarounds?

[Heisenberg666]

What about converting your TC CPL to FAA, attaining the FAA ATP (which would require an ATP-CTP course and a ride), after which you convert the FAA ATP back to a TC ATPL? That may be a potential workaround.

Why would TC issue an ATPL if you don't meet the requirements?

Curious if anyone has applied to AC with a restricted ATPL yet

Because the requirements for TC to issue an ATPL from an FAA conversion are different.

From what I see you need:

900 hours in aeroplanes
Pass the FAAAA written
Pass an FAA instrument proficiency check in the last 24 months

Nice find. Very surprised that's possible but this circular seems to prove you right:

It also implies we can have 900 hour ATPL holders in Canada. Strange! Especially with the recent push to be more ICAO compliant. I"m wondering if there's another catch hidden somewhere.

you can have 600 rotary, 900 fixed
nothing has changed

Anecdotally, I know a couple guys in Canada that was successful in attaining the FAA ATP (FAA allows you to credit time as sole manipulator of controls towards PIC credit), then applied for a TC ATPL through this conversion process successfully.
