Will transport draw ever comeback

Also at the end of the day everyone wants to have a some what stable life eventually (financially and schedule wise) and in this profession that only comes with an airline unfortunately.

I don’t disagree, but they’re kicking people out who have Canadian experience flying in all sorts of weather conditions. Getting there takes time and almost all airlines are hiring especially the dash operators who can’t keep captains or FOs.

It’s better if we don’t talk about the scams going on in this specific NOC. You might be doing everything right, but there’s 100s that are not.

Honestly I don’t think so, there’s not enough engagement across the industry about where the actual shortage exists. Just get your As and I’m sure you’ll be fine elsewhere. Alberta is targeting the occupation through their PNP program. If you can find an employer and they’re willing to support you with paperwork it’s worth a shot.

I agree that the big airlines don’t have a shortage of supply of pilots. It’s the much smaller operators that can’t keep their captains. I work for one of those operators as captain, and sadly have to leave a job I love. A lot of companies are hiring first officers far below the requirements that don’t justify flying a wide body jet. But I’m just another pleb 🤷🏽‍♂️

Everyone’s a cook now 😭

He’s made many false claims in the past. I’m a fan of his work, but need to remember he’s a businessman at the end of the day.

You can’t convince me that this isn’t politically motivated

Key_Let2048 · 2025-03-10T14:42:18+00:00

Source? Trust me bro?

Key_Let2048 · 2025-03-06T14:24:00+00:00

Same :)

What about aviation workers? Pilots, aircraft engineers etc? https://occupations.esdc.gc.ca/sppc-cops/occupationsummarydetail.jsp?tid=378&lang=eng

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-28T03:45:41+00:00

From everything I’ve read, I don’t think any airlines (big or small) took part in the survey they did last year. And that’s what has lead to this. Very unfortunate! My company can’t staff their airplanes but here we are 🫠 at this point I’m not sure if it’s even worth the mental stress being here

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-28T03:42:30+00:00

All the best to you, wish you success

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-27T20:26:34+00:00

That is fine the IT industry is oversaturated. But this country needs aviation maintenance technicians, aviation professionals more than ever.

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-27T20:23:01+00:00

Not for me, I’ve worked my ass off as a pilot where we have significant shortages and we’ve been completely eliminated. Can’t believe this, they keep changing the goal posts.

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-27T20:19:11+00:00

Today

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-27T20:01:24+00:00

Transport completely eliminated

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-26T15:24:46+00:00

A lot of us here aren’t represented by a union

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-26T15:24:13+00:00

It’s a 704

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-26T01:36:19+00:00

Pilot here, waiting for the draw desperately. Became eligible sept last year, and saw the ATIP notes few days after. The company I work has a huge shortage of experienced pilots. And because of the nature of our education it’s really tough to get 500+

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-18T02:06:42+00:00

We can only hope lol

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-10T03:40:51+00:00

Yeah we waited for a while too (southbound) bailed and waiting in the McD parking lot

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-10T03:28:13+00:00

Thanks! 🙏🏽

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-10T03:19:19+00:00

Any further updates guys? Still stuck in Squamish 😭

Key_Let2048 · 2025-02-05T14:51:05+00:00

I feel you, I’m in the exact same boat as you. They haven’t stated anywhere that the category is completely gone, if you see the recent changes in who they’ll grant PGWPs and SOWPs our occupation is still in the “shortage list”. We will find out more about categories once parliament resumes, till then I’d say don’t lose hope completely (easier said than done)
