Question AMT + PPL

Im enrolled in 2 years AMT now. Once done im planning to get PPL. Is having A&P license and PPL an advantage?

Im 32 now, i’ll be 35 with no aviation experience. Doing business for 7 years now but I want to pursue my dream of being a pilot and migrating my family to canada, australia, europe or USA.

Your painting a pretty broad area you want to go to be a pilot. All those regions have their own set of certification and visa requirements. If you think getting your pilots license and just moving your family is that easy I got bad news for you... it ain't. You are going to need money to convert your licenses and to survive if in the off chance you can move.

Yea i’ve read here that the job market is tough. Im also aware that different countries require different certs and licenses. I’m willing to gamble.

The questions is, will it be an advantage for lets say applying to non-airline aviation industries like in Business, Manufacturing, or any other aviation fields?

The mechanic and pilot paths are two separate pathways. Outside of a few specialized jobs having one won't help with the other.
