I would really love to, and one day I want to meet Aaron! After spending hundreds of hours with him in the pilottraining.ca online ground school he is my pilot role model and hero now. Perhaps , once it becomes safer to travel within Canada once COVID restrictions ease a bit, I'll come visit and do some training.
Great review! I used to be an instructor there in 2004 and love it! Btw, 37/38 years old is not too late to start a flying career, you will be just fine.
Awesome thank you! Did you start late as well? This was based on other students' reviews, but since I actually started training there recently as you can see from some of my recent videos I'll be able to do a review at some point too. This is an amazing school!
This kinda content is extremely helpful! It’s great how you are inclusive of international students as well! Could you put up videos of schools in Toronto? Would be helpful to hear from a native!
Hello Celcia! I'm happy to hear that! At some point in the future I might cover some other schools in other provinces, but at the moment I have started my flight training and I am flying pretty much every day in Vancouver.
Thank you for this review. I am an international expat and searching for a flight school to go from zero to hero (fatpl) on. I get alot of positive feedback, even texting with one instructor who works there now, and comes from the same country I do. I think I will choose Harv's Air for my PPL as a starting point. From all this feedback I think I will get stuck there until I get a first job! These videos really help out man , especially for us internationals who just can't keep hopping countries and doing check-ins in every single country. One point to mention though: the dorms for students aren't the best, cleanest, etc. they're live-able but nothing fancy. For couples its prob best to rent a flat. (again this is from feedback I got, did not fact check) Will have to clarify COVID procedures right now so I don't get stuck anywhere for 2 weeks but overall this seems like a solid school to pick!
Sounds great! Yeah, I had no idea about the dorms, I only knew that they had them. That being said though, it seems like a really solid school, and you will get some amazing flying weather out there. When you are close to the coast like I am you get a lot of bad weather that you can't fly in, but I've heard from people who trained in the prairies that the weather is better there, so you should be able to get done pretty fast. Also, it's just a really well-known school and I'm currently doing their online ground school and I'm really impressed by it (the pilottraining.ca self-study option). I'm happy to hear that these videos helped you out and I hope things go well for you, keep me up to date on what happens with you. To be honest, if I wasn't stuck in BC with an apartment, family, and mortgage, I would have gone to Harv's so fast.
@@whothepakk Haha, soon!! Like I mentioned in my ground school video, I'm a very cautious shopper, so I like to explore all of my options before I decide to spend tens of thousands of dollars! I will likely start at the end of May in about a week here after I make my final decision.
I think I met someone from there a while back, it's supposed to be a hardcore training environment with some of the roughest weather in Canada. That being said you likely won't get up for much training, but when you do you will be prepared for some pretty crazy stuff. I'll see if I can find that person for an interview.
@@LateDeparture How can İ contact to you personally İ am in Turkey right now and Want to be an international student 176 cm 88 kg:(( İ like Sea Land Air
@@serkansahinzorlu1435 Hi Serkan, I’m from Turkey too. I completed my PPL and CPL flight training in Toronto. Planning to do Multi IFR training at Harv’s Air in Winnipeg or somewhere in Toronto. Feel free to contact me IG : ahmet_salim55
Hello bro I have decided to join a flight school in Argentina named avicion tejedor..... It is government aided school.... The flying there is cheap and great.. The total cost would be 33000$ including my accomodations My plans are to do my flight instructor rating and work in Canada for few years as a flight instructor after doing my CPL from Argentina.....😁😁
@@whothepakk That sounds really cool! Congratulations on finding a school at such a good cost! I would love to go to Argentina one day, I hope you have a really wonderful experience, and let me know what happens, it sounds like a lot of fun!
@@LateDeparture sure brother ...will let you know ...i have a doubt. As i am a international student ...can I come to canada for instructor rating and will i get work permit after doing my instructor rating???
There aren't really any schools that CAN guarantee flight instructor jobs, although some schools definitely try to do that. The reality is if they already have more instructors than they have students, and if they don't have enough planes, most of the instructors won't get enough hours and it will be bad for everyone involved. HOWEVER, recent research reports on the aviation industry show us that Canada has a SEVERE shortage of instructors, and that shortage will continue on into the future. So, if you want to come here to instruct, your opportunities will continue to increase as time goes on, so I wouldn't worry about getting a job as an instructor after you finish your training, especially after COVID is done and the aviation industry grows massively again!
It's a loooooooong ways away from where I live, I would definitely like to do one one day, but at the moment I am doing flight training every day in BC and it will cost a lot of money and time to out there; so long story short, I will, but it won't be at least for a year or so.
Hi, can you please answer my queries. How to get PGWP (WORK PERMIT) after getting CPL? How long would the work permit be? If I decided not to get PGWP and decided to get instructor rating, will I get a PGWP later (with or without job offer)?? If yes, for how long will the work permit be? Make a video if you can, cannot find anything on this topic on youtube and even google.
All this info is on the Discord channel put together by some of our other members (discord.gg/9jn69VpzFF) but at some point I do want to make a video discussion this stuff. It's a pretty confusing topic I know.
Hi there, I have a quick question. I started at Harv and moved to BC. I am very disappointed to the point that I stop flying. Do you have any suggestions where should I go to get almost the same service? Thanks
That's a good question, unfortunately I'm not in BC now so I can't tell you about schools there, but from my own experience of training in BC then coming to Harv's in Manitoba I can say that I haven't seen any operations even close to Harv's. Perhaps something similar might be Principal Air in Abbotsford? I totally understand why you would stop flying, that happened to me 20 years back!
@@wganthony05 I've really enjoyed flying there. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity of the management; It's one of the few places that I attended that really felt like people actually cared about my flight training. I will probably do a video on this at some point.
Sir please can you suggest some good schools for Indian students as I have been following you for some time but am still getting confused. Can you name a couple of schools which I should focus on? I saw in one of your videos that you said Harv’s air doesn’t have the multi engine plane required by the Indian students😅
Come check out our Discord, we have an entire information section for Indian students with all of the information you will ever need! It includes which planes you need as an Indian student and which schools would work: discord.gg/eFEaseTE
Yeah, you can take their ground school anywhere (I'm taking it from a different province), but I think you should ask them about it if you plan on attending their school in person. I've found that while most schools let you do Harv's air online ground school and then attend their schools, not all schools do so it's good to ask first. Feel free to join our study group discord (link is in the video descriptions) as I have an international student flight school discussion group that you might be interested in joining. You can come ask questions about these kinds of things :-)
@@LateDeparture Thank you so much Adam! I love your videos because they help a lot in answering the questions that I have about different schools. I am currently employed and is saving up money to achieve my aviation dream of becoming an airline pilot. You have inspired me with your videos keep it up!
