If one is on call with a 12 hour requirement, allowing legal rest after notification, for example, remaining on call is legal. Likewise, if one is operating under regulations requiring a 24 hour period free of duty, which must be determined in advance, an oncall system which allows that period, can still meet the legal requirement.
There is no regulation which stipulates how far in advance rest must be provided for notification, to be considered prospective: only that it must be prospective in nature.

As for the 120's, the schedule is on-call 24hrs, beginning Monday morning at 0600 and they can use you up until 0600 Saturday morning without paying you weekend pay. On-call weekends are roughly every 4 weeks (sometimes adjusted due to holidays) but you got 13 of them for the year (they can be traded, given away, or picked up). New policy in place regarding the Monday BEFORE your weekend up, you will have off. So you get a 3 day weekend going into your week where you gotta be up that weekend. So, worst case scenario is you get called Tuesday - gone all week, weekend, and into the following week and home Friday for a total of 11 days. Although that CAN happen, it is more on the rare side. It's likely you will make it back home during that time, even if it is just min rest.
Summer is the slow time, possible to be at home more or get called on a Monday and sit in a random hotel for 3 days doing nothing before going home on Friday. Difficult to list every possible scenario, but hope this gives you an idea.
Pay on the profile is up to date.
*For anyone out there reading, a new round of hiring for SIC's on the 120 opened up. Filling 5-6 positions I believe. Welcome to ask here or PM and I'll do my best to answer.

Unfortunately, they are currently requiring the Covid jab until Canada ends that requirement. Sorry folks.

Now, to be blunt, you will not get a phone call back at 300 hours unless you had an inside recommendation. But, if lets say you had 300 hours and 100 of that were multi, maybe. They do consider quality of time, not just quantity.
Additionally, they want someone who will upgrade into the left seat. It can be a tough schedule at times, so if you come in at 300 hours, you may not have the motivation to stick around by the time you're legal to upgrade.
My $0.02. Get your CFI (it's good to have), instruct for a few hundred hours (again, good experience to have), and then come on over. But hey, you're free to apply any time.
