All applicants shall be licensed by Transport Canada to act as First Officers on 705 category aircraft.

Hold a valid Transport Canada Instrument Rating.

Hold a valid Transport Canada Class 1 Medical.

Must be able to obtain an Airport Restricted Area Access Clearance (i.e. security pass).

Must hold a current passport at time of hire.

If Permanent Resident, must be able to obtain and maintain crew visa documentation required to operate aircraft within the USA.

Must be legally entitled to work in Canada.

Must have completed a High School diploma.

Candidates must meet Transport Canada English proficiency standard.

Preference will be given to applicants who possess 1500 hours total time with an ATPL, and two crew multi-engine turbine experience.




I am currently flying Citations for a Part 91 Operation as a F/O around 950 hours. I have been planning on applying to some of the regionals here in the states in the next few months, however, my girlfriend lives in Canada and it sure would be nice to live and work close to her.

I would really appreciate any information concerning this issue.

Thanks
