Re: Degree

I do not agree that a degree is necessary for ATC...I assume ATC is what you are asking about Scott25? I certainly have not got one, I left school at 16 ( ATC for 35 years) and am a firm believer that just because you have "proof you can study" does not mean you will hack ATC. I have seen many peop...

Re: How long did any of you current controllers/trainees take to get your offer

I can sympathize. I initially applied in September of 2015 and finally got a course offer July of 2017. The long wait periods were the worst part of the application process. Nav Canada is still trying to tweak their selection process. Like stated earlier, their current selection process has been pro...

Re: FSS Course (YQM) - What to expect?

Everything you asked about NavCan will walk you through during the first week you're there. They will have presentations on study techniques, health and wellness, fatigue management, support programs, etc. For now, just focus on the ITA. The review questions and practice test is not enough review at...

Re: YWG Terminal IFR Offers

You're being specifically trained for YWG terminal unlike the generic class where you can be broken off into 1 of 5 specialties. You already know yours, 2 of you will start from the beginning for generic terminal IFR, then once completing that a senority bid will join you for your specialty termina...

Re: Anyone in YEG get a call for upcoming training yet?

Just got a call, I am next in line on the standby list for the VFR course (streamed IFR).....not to be mean spirited but I hope someone drops out or declines.......this is good news thought because if no one does drop out, as long as there isnt too many people added to the IFR and/or VFR pool, I sh...

Re: Higher chances by switching regions

I'm not sure if you can proactively ask to switch regions, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I initially applied for YYZ but everyone at my in-person assessment session was asked if we'd be willing to switch to YWG. For me it wasn't an issue since my family is located in Winnipeg. Definitely helped with ...

Re: What to know before training starts

Unless I am mistaken, IATA codes won't do you much good in the ATS business. ICAO codes will be used in flight planning, and while the conversion from IATA to ICAO for domestic airports is fairly straightforward, basically everything outside of the US and Canada is completely different. Good luck. ...

If Nav Canada can't reach you via phone to give you a course offer, will they send you an offer by email?

I'm already placed into the candidate pool for the IFR stream in the YWG IFR. There's a course that's starting in March and I was told to expect a course offer (dependant on the pool) by phone sometime in Dec/Jan. Just wondering if it would be advisable to go on vacation for Christmas break? Accordi...

The school in CZWG is running courses indefinitely, across multiple IFR specialties. No one should worry about getting a call. Opportunities abound in the YWG FIR. Well, my second choice was VFR and there is a course starting this September in YWG. As well, there is a FSS course starting September ...

The next IFR course (generic) for CYWG is in March and successful applicants will be notified approximately 3 months ahead of time. As stated above by others, it is a generic IFR course and people wil...
