Original post
bonjour, je vous serrai très reconnaissante si vous pouvez m'indiquez les meilleures écoles de pilotage civile au canada.... merci d'avance
C'est très réglementé au Canada. Qu'est-ce que tu veus dire par "Meilleures".? Et tu veux connaitre quoi au juste:? Licence de pilote récréationel, privé ou commerciale? Mono ou multi-moteurs?
Les instructeurs ont tous la certification de Transport Canada. D'après-moi, ça dépend beaucoup si toi et l'instructeur sont "compatibles". Tu peux tomber sur un type qui à de la difficulté à enseigner (pas qu'il ne connais pas sa matière) ou un autres qui est très bien mais un peu cowboy.
Voici ce que dis le site internet www.airfun.org
Comment choisir une école de pilotage
Les écoles de pilotage varient dans legenre de formation qu'ils dispensent. Certains se spécialisent dans la formation des pilotes de loisirs ou privé. D'autres se spécialisent dans la formation des pilotes commerciaux. Certaines écoles ont une très rigide "de style militaire" régime d'entraînement tandis que d'autres sont plus décontracté .
Il choisir une école qui convient à votre personnalité et votre style d'apprentissage, qui est aligné avec vos objectifs de formation, qui a un personnel suffisant et d'avions pour finir le travail, qui a un bon ground school (ce qui est vraiment important).
Dites-leur quels sont vos objectifs de formation. Décidez à l'avance si une école collège ou une école classique est le meilleur pour vous.
Comme tu vois c'est difficile à dire et très subjectif.

merci pour ces informations, bon je ne cherche pas a avoir une licence de pilote privé ou commerciale ni licence de loisirs.
Encore je ne sais pas la différence entre licence de pilote professionnel (CPL), licence de pilote de ligne (ATPL), et les autres qualifications comme qualification multi-moteurs, qualification vol aux instruments....
Pour le genre d'école je préfère une école rigide

pilote pro cela donne la possibilité de piloter des aéronefs d'une certaine capacité. C'est la même chose que Pilote Privé sauf que tu peux piloter pour en faire ton métier. Mais il faudra être certifié turbopropulseurs parce que tu seras contraint de piloter des appareils d'une certaine puissance. Pour obtenir le Pilote Pro il faut obtenir un certain nombre d'heures de vol je crois que c'est 100 ( à vérifier) Et puis aussi pour se faire embaucher il faut avoir une qualif communications radio. Après quelques temps passés dans une petite compagnie aérienne à accumuler des heures de vol, on peut envisager de passer la licence pilote de ligne.
Il y a des tas d'école de pilotage au Canada , l'avantage c'est que le carburant coûte un peu moins qu'en Europe par exemple. Mais ce que je recommande vivement c'est d'abord de passer le pilote privé pour voir si cela te plait.... d'abord s'assurer que tu sois capable d'être laché même aux commandes d'un monomoteur cessna de 4 places. Ou plutôt ce que je recommande c'est de passer le brevet avion ultra léger motorisé 3 axes qui est un avion mais de plus faible capacité. A Lachute à une heure de Montréal ily a une école d'avion léger motorisé.. la qualif doit coûter dans les 3000 dollars... Le pilote privé il faut compter dans les 5000 cad minimum , le pilote pro c'est pas loin de 100 000 donc à toi de bien réfléchir... sinon faire google "école pilotage québec" ou bien "flying school canada"
Faut pas perdre de vue qu'il y a des tas de personnes qui ont pour rêve de devenir pilote de ligne ou pilote pro et qui s'endettent énormément car les qualifs et les brevets finissent par coûter très cher. Et pas dit qu'une compagnie aérienne même petite accepte de t'embaucher.
Pour devenir pilote la voie royale c'est de devenir pilote militaire par exemple

oui c'est vrai ma question cache plein de mauvais souvenirs
OK est ou pourrais-je faire tout ça ?
Autrement dit selon toi qu'elle est la meilleure école que je peux rejoindre et qui m'assure un bon apprentissage et une licence reconnue dans toutes les compagnies aériennes ?
Et s'il vous plait renseigner moi si je peux avoir une licence CPL puis ATPL puis passer aux qualifications?
merci :)

salut j'insiste encore une fois : je conseille vivement de passer d'abord le brevet de pilote ne serait-ce que pilote avion léger motorisé. Bref commencer à prendre des leçons de pilotage. Parce que lorsqu'on veut devenir pilote l'étape la plus importante c'est le "laché" c.a.d. prendre les commandes d'un avion tout seul. Tu est tout seul dans l'avion c'est à toi de prendre les décisions. Pour le lâché seul l'instructeur sera en mesure de déterminer si tu est capable de prendre les commandes d'un aéronef même le plus léger qui soit. Et c'est une étape qui est vraiment loin d'être négligeable. Piloter un avion c'est pas du tout comme une voiture , c'est pas seulement tourner la clef de contact, appuyer sur l'accélérateur et tourner le volant.. L'instructeur peut très bien dire que tu n'est pas capable de piloter un avion alors la licence de pilote de ligne évidemment faut pas y compter. Le permis de conduire d'une voiture tout le monde ou presque peut l'avoir... le brevet de pilote d'avion ne serait ce que pour piloter un cessna 150 ou un DR400 c'est une autre histoire...
Ensuite si tu est lâché et en confiance à bord d'un avion, faut pas perdre de vue que pour devenir pilote professionel tu risques d'y perdre ta chemise, toutes tes économies vont y passer parce que ça coûte très cher.
Donc moi ce que je peux conseiller immédiatement c'est d'essayer de prendre quelques leçons dans un aéroclub en Tunisie, je suis certain que ça existe en Tunisie

bon on a pas en Tunisie un aéroclub et je viens de découvrir que faire une formation dans une école anglophone et beaucoup plus mieux que la faire dans une francophone mais jusqu’à maintenant je n'arrive pas a trouver une école qui m'assure une bonne formation
aussi y'a ceux qui m'ont conseillé de faire une formation dans une école anglophone parce que l'utilisation du français est limitée dans le monde et encore les compagnies aériennes embauchent plus des pilotes formés en anglais qu'en français.
Bon je ne suis pas excellente en anglais et je ne sais pas si la formation de 6 mois anglais me suffira de maîtriser la langue.
peux quelqu'un me dire c'est quoi la différence entre école collège et université de pilotage?

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
