Air Canada, Canada's largest airline, founded in 1937 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, with its biggest hub at Toronto Pearson, is hiring for airport and cabin crew roles across Canada. The latest openings are listed on the airline's official careers portal, with postings dated from 3 September to 5 November 2026, and applications are open online now.
Four roles are featured below: Ramp Agent (Station Attendant), Bilingual Customer Experience Specialist, Ground Support Equipment Mechanic and Flight Attendant. The Ramp Agent role is the strongest opening of the four, with full-time and part-time postings in five cities and a published starting rate of $23.36 an hour, rising to $38.15 an hour after eight years of service, plus shift premiums for afternoon and midnight work.
All four roles are apply-online positions — there is no walk-in interview for these openings. Candidates must already be legally entitled to work in Canada at the time any offer is made, and obtaining any required work permit or visa is the candidate's own responsibility. Air Canada does not sponsor these roles, so readers based outside Canada should only apply if they are already eligible to work in Canada.
Airport jobs in Canada are a good entry point into the aviation industry, because the Ramp Agent role needs no previous experience and the airline provides training. Cabin crew roles are also open through proactive hiring for 2026, with bases in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.
