I want to become a pilot and do my training in India or abroad. Is Canada good for pilot training?

Candidates usually prefer locations for pilot training outside India only to save time and to avoid the hassel of appearing DGCA exams. Those who posses a CPL from any other ICAO country they are required to appear for composite paper only to get their license conversion done to Indian. To become a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible. Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visit<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmand" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmand</a> go to the class 2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience. Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India. Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for: 1. Air Navigation 2. Aviation Meteorology 3. Air Regulations 4. Aviation Technical 5. Aircraft Specific 6. Radio Telephony Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, Flying Club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well. You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once. You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline. Then, you finally get a job as a pilot. I hope the process is well explained to you. CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20 Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10,000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs.

Yes, Canada is a good option for pilot training, but you are having an Indian passport, so you need to come back to India and go through the conversion procedure for your CPL license in order to get a job.
