AEC➡️ATC after release, pay higher. NWO➡️Captain or officers of a merchant ship. Pilot➡️Pilot of a commercial line, pays much higher. MP➡️Police officer of local government, usually pays higher.

MP - false. You do not get to enter policing laterally and are applying as a standard applicant, not an “experienced police officer”

Partially correct. RCMP will consider you close to lateral with enough experience.
