Foreign worker visas for Summer positions

[Heliduck]

I’m sure the thread title will ignite some emotion for some, that’s not my intention. I’m an Australian pilot & the last time I flew in Canada was in 2018 so I’m a bit out of touch with pilot demand at the moment, are there many opportunities for an experienced (5600hrs) A-Star pilot to do the summer? I’m in my 50’s so age could work against me for a visa.

Just walk across the border. Forget all that paperwork nonsense. If you can't get a job flying Uber eats will take you.

Here is a BC company that should be able to help you. After all, they are advertising in Blade Slapper.

Plenty of work around and  visas also. 
 

Canadians work all around the World also and no one gives a ####.

Yes we do, for equivalent to or more than what locals work for, and with work visas too! 😱

Isn’t that a “working holiday”?  Can only do it once and you have to be between 18 and 35 with no dependents.
