I am Canadian but my family is in the US, family is how I got the "right to work." I am currently a king air captain and just waiting for my ATPL license verification to come in so I can join a regional offering an ATP-CTP program. Unfortunately, after inquiring about converting my Canadian ATPL conversion under the advisory circular between the two nations, the FAA has stated I still need to take the program to write the ACM(Canadian Conversion ATPL:60 questions).
I was wondering if people can suggest any tips prior to joining a part 121 airline which would help me prepare for their training program. I am using Gleim, an online program. I also bought a book called "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot"

There are currently 3-4 pilots that i know personally at Skywest, and 2 at Great lakes that have no green card, they just have VISAs. And many more applying.

To the OP, there are very limited means for Canadians to work in the US.
The TN Visa under NAFTA which permits certain qualified professions to obtain a time limited Visa to work only in that profession does not apply to pilots (this is for both Canadians trying to work in the US and Americans trying to work in Canada - perhaps something to consider if the Donald becomes the President)
The other option is if your spouse gets an inter-company transfer visa L1 - the L2 visa can eventually provide a right to work in the US for the same validity period of your spouses L1 visa.

This might sound a bit uncomfortable, but you can get sponsor by a church, i.e, mormons, catholic, etc...and be able to be here, I know a few guys that did that and they are now in Spirit... Also, with the heavy traffic of non citizens trying to get into the profession and TSA doing the SF 86, it takes a while, and now add the Egypt accident is gonna be tough to get a job, but hey !!!welcome to the US in advance !!!! Á votre Santé !!!!:-)

Here is my take on the foreign visas, how easy is it for an American to go and fly for a Canadian company ??? Or a American to fly in Europe? They are good enough to train here but we are not good enough to fly there! Sorry things suck in your country at this time but I did not see allot of foreign companies holding there doors open to us after the US aviation labor market imploded. We are finally starting to get some of what was taken from us & do not really need cheap foreign labor to keep the oh so stagnant market that way!
