EASA AMEs in Canadian aviation

Post by Kirmanisr@gmail.com »

Hello everyone,

I am holding an EASA lic endorsed with A320 & B777. I am thinking of getting a Canadian AME lic I wanna know
1. which exams are to be given after successful assessment of curriculum & certificates.
2. Is it mandatory to have the 5yrs of logbook on Canadian registered aircraft or being a foreign applicant we are allowed to fulfil the requirements on other EASA registered aircrafts? In some places, I've read that if previous experience is approved you need to show only 3 rs of experience(is it true?)
3. All this process can be done online or one has to be in Canada (how is it possible if somebody is working outside Canada?)
4. Also how is the scope for foreign candidates like me to get a job in Canadian Aviation? Can we survive(in terms of package)

TIA
