Republic Sponsoring Canadian Pilots ?

[bafanguy]

Seems Republic is sponsoring at least a small number of Canadians for an H1B visa:

“We are currently accepting some visas and could possibly offer the required assistant to sponsor your visa. If you need a H1B visa, this is done in April each year. Although our candidates for 2018 have already been selected, to be considered for 2019, please apply between October and December 2018.”

This is the licensing procedure for Canadians to get an equivalent FAA license:

I don't see a mention of this on Republic's hiring website.

Looks like Air Wisconsin hired 9 H1B visa pilots over the last couple of years. No data for 2018 yet but they said in the email that candidates have been "selected" for this year:
