October 8, 201114 yr Author @ bakaman Well, I hope you intend on immigrating or staying in Canada then... I trained at the ex- Montreal Flying Club and found that upon returning to Europe, I had a pile of exams and conversions to take costing me the price of at least two brand new Toyota Prius'. The Canadian license is supposedly ICAO but I found that it is not accepted in many other countries without the appropriate endorsements. The USA will require you to convert your licenses from scratch as well ( that means getting a PPL based on your Canadian CPL) and then taking all the required exams for the FAA CPL, re-doing an IR rating and the ATPL exams. In Europe its much worse, it consists of a battery of 'Frozen-ATPL' exams and a series of flight tests with lengthy IFR and simulator time. In the end, my first job was in Japan but only because I speak Japanese fluently (twas a childhood passion) and the flying environment/regulations are similar to the US. My second job cost me my career since it was flying medevac in the Brazilian Amazon where unfortunately I came down with a nasty tropical bug which cost me my medical and thereby promptly ended my aviation career. Before getting these jobs though, it was a costly uphill battle just to get all the paperwork in order. Now I have three useless ATPL's (FAA, JAA and Canadian) more than 5000 hours and two type ratings but no more career. So I hope that either: 1. You have a backup industry to fall upon if you end up unemployed in the aviation industry.2. You are wealthy.3. You can catch a lucky break and maybe get a flying job in Canada (which would mean breaking through a very protective market.) Best of luck to you.
