Qualifications

Ensure you are eligible: Canadian citizens or permanent residents with little or no flight experience are encouraged to apply.

Candidates must be at least 18 years old at the start of training, hold a high school diploma, and have English proficiency equivalent to ICAO level 4.

Start by answering a few questions about your application. As you progress through the process, an assessment and interviews will be necessary. If you are selected, a letter of employment promise will be given to you before the start of your training. After enrollment, you will begin your training at CAE Phoenix flight school, under the Arizona sun, in the United States.

Please send us a copy of your passport along with your resume, otherwise your application will not be retained and you will not be contacted by our team.
