Canada Pilot Program
High-Quality Commercial Pilot Training for International Students From Canada
AeroGuard Flight Training Center provides excellent training for international students from Canada focused on helping them achieve their goals of being a professional pilot.
Canada and the United States have a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) which allows for pilots from each country to transfer the flying privileges between the nations relatively easily. Within the BASA is Implementation Procedures for Licensing (IPL) identifying the rules for license conversions, with AeroGuard creating an FAA program that can be easily converted by the Civil Aviation Directorate (CAD). Through these FAA licenses, medical certificate, logbook records, and an additional knowledge exam (for IR and CPL), students can then be issued a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCAA) license.
Demand for Canadian Pilots
According to Boeing, over the next 20 years North America will require an additional 123,000 pilots to be trained. When students start the Program now, they have the opportunity to begin their journey toward one of the most in-demand careers in the world.
As this career is so in demand, being a professional pilot is also an incredibly lucrative job. A commercial airline pilot can make up to $200,000+ a year or more, meaning AeroGuard graduates have a high return on investment for their training, and a great start to their career earning potential.
With ample resources, relentless academic and student support as well as high graduation rates, AeroGuard is committed to its pilots and their bright futures.
