Indian Students - Study at Spectrum Airways!

1. Where are we located?

   Spectrum Airways is located at Burlington Executive Airport in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. We are approximately 30 minutes West of Toronto.

2. How long will this take, and what will it cost?

   At Spectrum Airways, our students make up their own flying and study schedule. We are open 7 days a week from 8:00-23:00. Everyone works and learns at different rates. Some students will come to us with no aviation experience, while others will come to us with a great deal of aviation experience. Therefore, it is impossible to give a standard quote for everyone. Realistically, you can expect to complete your training within a year to a year and a half. Although, it will depend upon weather and student skill/preparation level.

   Please e-mail us at info@spectrumairways.com for an individual quote.

   **Please include any specific information we may need, such as any licences/ratings held, or any prior aviation experience**

3. Student Visa

   This process should be started as soon as possible. The application must be completed EXACTLY as they require, or it may not be accepted. It is recommended you allow at least two months for the application process prior to your proposed start date at Spectrum Airways. You must show that you have adequate monetary funds available to you to pay tuition fees, maintain yourself and dependants who go to Canada and to pay return transportation costs without engaging in employment in Canada. We will provide you with a letter of acceptance to Spectrum Airways, which you will need for the Visa application process. You should check with your nearby Canadian visa or immigration office for further details ( www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp ).

   We offer the test for the Radio Telephony licence on-site.
