Canadian Aviation?

[Burrito]

Good morning everyone, happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate that sort of thing.

So I had a thought about getting in at an airline to the north of the border, which only flies Q400s, and I know the Canadian Aviation Administration is a little different. My question is - once licensed with the FAA, how difficult is it to obtain a license in another country?

Does anyone have any experience making that move, or know someone who has? Many thanks.

@cdndx should have you somewhat covered on this one!

Here's a couple of sources to get you started with your research.

Good stuff, but I think the first thing to determine is how Canada deals with work visas for aliens. Definitely need to have a strong grasp on how ex-pats fit in. Also depending on where you're going in Canada, you might want to brush up on your French.

Have to agree with pljenkins, double check the visa/immigration requirements first. Im not to familiar with them as I went the other way.
Feel free to PM me for some info on a Canadian dx license, as I still have mine and can walk you through the pro-cess.

Thanks for the info all. @cdndx - I'll definitely be in touch once I get a free minute.
