easa 66 b1

[vasily]

hi all!

I've got the final letter from Canadian consulate… now I’m allowed to come to Canada. Of course a lot of questions appear: what to do there, where to leave, where to work…
I’m 15 years experienced mechanic and just few weeks ago to my ICAO II have got EASA Part 66 B1 Danish license (A320-family, MD80).
Could you please give me any ideas?

-Air Canada

-Skyservice Airlines


both have 320 family aircraft, but you'll want to get your AME licence M2 catergory first.

it means no way to transfer aml b1 to ame m2?

Your license is not transferable. Last I checked, you have to prove to Transport Canada your training, and then they allow you to write the required exams. TC does'nt recognize your license. You basically are in the same postion as an apprentice.
Do a "search" here. Im sure this has been discussed in detail here before. As I don't spend much effort keeping up with TC's latest news, possibly something has changed in this matter, and I stand corrected. Otherwise, I think you will find what's written above to be accurate.

Personally, Canada would be the last place I'd consider going for aviation work, especially if I had an B1 license with A320 time.


Good luck

Pat is right on. Exams must be done at TC and then you can have you m2.

Hi
I was in the same position four years ago when landed in Canada. EASA B1, ICAO Type II, FAA ,Australian licenses in the pocket, bunch of type ratings and 15 years experience.
Believe or not but TC multiplayed me by zero.Then I passed all exams and shit and finaly got my M2 license. Then 3 years looked for ANY job in the aviation in Canada but with no success.
One day I realised that the aviation in Canada is a bullshit. Packed my stuff and moved back to Germany. Now I am a contractor with good pay ( 45 euro p/h) and will never go back to Canada.
NEVER!!!

Fine with us!! Our gain, your loss!!

As someone already posted you should try Skyservice airlines. Dont be confused skyservice is a big company and also have an air ambulance and corporate division.

My advice would be to try to get on with either Skyservice or Air Canada and then look into the licence. The reason I think that is best is it may be better to have a company behind you when presenting your case to Transport Canada, as opposed to you by yourself.

Good luck and welcome.
