Flying in Canada
I was born and raised in the United States but have dual citizenship in Canada via my mother's birth there. My understanding is that Canana does not impose the 1500 hour rule. Is this true? If so, how realistic is it that I could get a regional FO job in Canada with my PPL, IR, ME, CR and 250 hours total time?

Someone from the great white north can hopefully give you more details, but my understanding is that airline jobs are harder to get and pay is lower in Canada. Used to be a lot of Canadians at the regionals I worked at. Also pretty sure you'd need to get a CA CPL, you can use an FAA PPL up there (and vice versa) but not the CPL.

There is a deal between Transport Canada and the FAA. To get the equivalent level of license/certificate in the other's country you just have to pass their medical and a short written test. No checkride required. And if you're going from the TC ATP to a FAA ATP you have to complete a CTP course.
