Heavy Maintenance in BC or Alberta

[Aero-Starter]

Hi there..

I am currently living in the UK and am looking to up sticks and move to either BC or Alberta. I am trying to get info on the heavy maintenance companies in these areas.
I am a unlicensed mechanic currently work on 737, airbus 320 and have experience on cessna 406 and shorts 360.

Any information or advice would be appreciated

If you really want to make a choice from BC and AB, I suggest you to go to AB, never think about the so-call "professional" maintenance companies....

I don't know where boeingboy has been hiding for the last couple of years, but Cascade has just laid off over half of their maintenance staff so they aren't hiring and as for SPAR in Edmonton and Calgary they have both gone out of business over a year ago (actually Calgary was longer than that).

If I were you, Calgary would be your best bet to find a job in aviation, it may not be heavy maintenance but there are opportunities there. You will be competing with alot of Canadian AME's for those positions due to the large amount of unemployed engineers in Canada at this moment. We all hope it turns around soon.

LOL, um Mechman? Boeingboy posted his response 4 years ago. This is an old resurrected thread.

I was actually working for Cascade when that was posted. Funny!

Things are about to get 7% more expensive here in Bring Cash. The Lower Mainland is probably saturated with unemployed AMEs from heavy and it is that much more expensive than the rest of the Province to live.
