International students 
 For years
Winnipeg Aviation has been
training pilots from Europe. Now with the increased demand in a rapidly
developing world we are seeing students from all over the globe. Our
courses can be flexibly accelerated so you can spend the least amount of
time away from home and reduce your expenses.
Why Canada?
Long recognized as one of the most modern,
progressive, and peaceful countries in the world, Canada has always
accepted students of all nationalities. You will find it easier to get
a visa to enter our country than most other nations. As a leading
member of the International Civil Aviation Organization Canada’s flight
training standard is recognized as being one of the highest in the
world.
With Canada's wide-open
spaces you will enjoy the freedom to fly with very little restriction.
Air-traffic control congestion is almost nonexistent. You can maximize
your flight training time and minimize your expenses. This will allow
you to get that airline job in your home country sooner.
The cost of flying is
remarkably inexpensive (due to lower fuel costs) when compared to most
other countries. Whether you wish to fly here for pleasure or to build
up your flight time, Canada makes economic sense.
Why Winnipeg?
Winnipeg is located in the geographic
center of Canada and the nature of our local weather is such that you can fly
for more than 315 days of the year in sunshine. This means fewer weather delays
and quicker acceleration through your training. Because we are at the center of
the country you can easily embark on many exciting trips all over North America.
Our city of over 700,000 is very modern
and ethnically diverse. Regardless of your nationality, you can be assured that
you'll find groups representing your homeland that will make you feel very
comfortable in our friendly city.
Why Winnipeg Aviation

operator standards. We have trained thousands of students just like you and
helped them realize their dream of becoming private or commercial pilots.
The success of our school lies in the
dedicated and skilled professionals that work here. The aircraft cockpit is a
rather confined space and we want to make sure that your time spent there is as
rewarding and enjoyable as can be. Our maintenance staff meticulously cares for
the mechanical integrity of our aircraft, ensuring you a safe environment in
which to hone your flying skills

requirements. Our instructors, friendly, personable and will push you to be the

strong crosswinds. You’ll learn to land at large international airports as well
as small grass strips. You will become a knowledgeable, confident and safer
pilot. Because we believe that it is important for you to experience all types
of flying conditions you'll lose less time due to weather restrictions. By
providing these experiences we can maximize your flight training hours and
graduate you sooner. Sign up at Winnipeg Aviation today and realize your dreams
