American Degree counts for Air canada/Westjet?

Post by PoorInstructor »

Hey guys I just got accepted into embry riddle worldwide. It’s online and it’s an American university.

Before I spend big bucks, Would anyone know if westjet or air canada counts an online degree from embry riddle aeronautical university.

Like I know it helps to have a degree for westjet or air canada but does it have to be from a Canadian university for it to really help during application time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A degree is a degree. They likely don't care where it's from. Embry Riddle is very well known in the aviation community.

I received a job offer from Air Canada a number of years ago with a degree from a U.S. University.

If putting more eggs in the same basket makes you happy then it doesn't matter where you get a degree from. Athatbasca vs Harvard there's zero difference, it's just a box to check on the application.

If you're just doing it to get into AC or WJ then save the money, head up north/get some time then go to Jazz...

Then take the leftover money you didn't spend and buy crypto.

Does Canada have any online aviation programs that offer University degrees like the US does?
