Perhaps they’re trying to get a work permit for someone’s foreign (Spanish, perhaps?) cousin by demonstrating that since they received no applications, no Canadian meets the prerequisites for a (possibly fictious) job opening?

How would someone without a Canadian work permit manage to get a class 1 instructor rating though?

-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1

The Spanish requirements aren’t as interesting as the bring your own multi engine plane to do the training on.

As far as I know, you can't. Any non-canadian FI rating gets you credits towards your class 4, but you can't actually convert it.

There is a provision in the CARs for contracted states, but Canada has no contracts for Flight Instructor ratings.

The ad seems to indicate someone in charge of hiring who a) has no clue, b) is a shyster, or c) both.

One would think that it should be two separate ads, one for an experienced class 1 instructor who can speak Spanish and an ad looking to buy or lease a training twin.

I'm not sure what's more depressing: That everyone has a price, or how low the price always is.

Uh...I think that's contracting states as in states that are part of ICAO: https://www.icao.int/about-icao/pages/m ... tates.aspx - states that contract to the Convention - not states that have a contract with Canada. But I think you're right, you can't convert a foreign instructor rating.

I agree that's what it should be or sounds like, but I had it confirmed by TC that there are no contracting states for flight instructor rating conversions. Every section in the CARs that use the term 'contracting state', has their own separate list apparently.

That info is about 10 years old, but I don't think anything changed in that regards.

I can forward you the email if you PM me your email.

Looks like someone trying to get an LMIA to extend someone's work permit IMO...
