Congrats to you all! To answer the questions few posts up. The test will assess you on many different areas. When I did it there were 8 tests total but it may be different now. Mental math, spatial reasoning, active listening, pattern recognition, and more I can't remember. The tests are designed so...

You can receive an offer up to 18 months after entering the candidate pool (interview results). Like the other poster said, if you're willing to do other streams besides IFR, or are willing to train in another region - call talent acquisition (I think it's still Joanne), and tell them that.

They will move you, your household goods, immediate family, and one vehicle to your posting. They provide temporary accommodation in a hotel, money for meals, and a rental car for you while you wait for your things. Some sites offer an isolated post allowance to help offset the higher cost of living...

Not keen to give out too much details but here are the three general areas my class was posted. 1. Northern prairies 2. Northern BC 3. South BC interior Where you go is entirely dependant on who needs staff at the time you train. There's nothing you can really do to effect it so best not to worry ab...

I've known/heard of two people who left nav Canada other than for health/retirement reasons. One to become a stay at home parent, and the other to focus on a career in politics. Like the above commenter said, it's very rare for people to leave the company. Nav Canada is definitely a career and not a...

I am currently on course for FSS, about a month left to go. The post above properly answered a lot of your questions. For us, we had two weeks of ITA study/prep. But our course was loaded pretty late and I understand this varies based on the course. I would go with whatever HR is telling you. The te...

There's a VFR course going on in July with two seats, both of which have been filled by internal FSS's who wish to make the transition to ATC. There will be another VFR course late this fall. I was told that they were unsure as to whether the course was going to run due to lack of instructors. I ha...

I will look into schools in the area, thanks for the suggestion! To answer the other question, I haven't spoken to the training staff in Surrey yet. They're supposed to call Monday. That being said I was told that relocation assistance isn't offered until on the job training.

I'm going for training in May, in having a hard time finding short term accommodations. Can anyone familiar with the area make any suggestions?

I got the call for the Vancouver class as well, but I accepted it. It's going to be difficult and scary going to such a big new city for class room training. But after watching so many courses go by without getting a call, I figured it might be the only chance I'll get. Wish me luck everyone!

I'm streamed FSS for Moncton region. I know calls have started going out for some other regions so I was wondering if anyone from Moncton region has gotten a call or has heard anything regarding courses?

Thanks for any help

If it's anything like the non referral test then there will be sections for spatial reasoning, mental math, active listening, pattern recognition, and the w-sim. I found a good way to prepare was playing brain training/ iq testing games on my iPhone like brain age etc. What region are you applying f...

I sent an email to Joanne at atscareers@navcanada.ca. Got a reply this evening letting me know that the courses had been loaded.

Just found out today that all the FSS courses planned for the near future in Moncton have been filled :( . Guess I'm going to have to start looking at other options. Just wanted to post and say thanks one last time to everyone who has provided great advice and conversation throughout the process. Go...

I'm sure there would be no hard feelings if you had to turn down a training offer due to financial reasons. They did just do another Assesment test a few weeks back so I imagine there will be more courses coming up next year. I know that Nav Canada has relocation assistance for existing employees (i...

From what I understand, offers for Moncton training will come out around the end of the year. VFR should start in February/March and IFR in April. So, I am guessing offers for VFR would be first and then offers for IFR training. Just wondering, since I qualified for IFR stream and if NAV Canada cal...

Hey guys, I am new to this site. Just found it actually. I see people are looking to see if anyone had been accepted. I got the green light for IFR on the 14th. Getting pretty excited. Gonna be a big change. Welcome to the forum! There are tons of knowledgeable people here it's a great community! C...

Just remembered this thread from when I was going through the application process. The process can be long, but it is worth it if you make it. FIR : YYZ Preference order: VFR, IFR, FSS Online Application Date: November 09, 2014 Online application results: November 09, 2014 (Green Light) In person a...

Bumping to see if anyone has any updates! Still waiting for a call

Can't really help with your third question, but I'm pretty sure that all three streams require the medical.

Edit: spelling

I agree that sounds like it would be quite stressful! Hopefully the calls come sooner rather than later. I imagine it would be tough to study the pre-course material while also getting your accommodations figured out, wrapping things up at your existing job, etc!

Thanks man! Maybe we'll see each other in Moncton (before I get sent to the Arctic wastelands )

I've been emailing a bit with an HR employee in Moncton and they said that they are just finishing up with referral interviews and expect to be fielding offers come December. Edmonton and Moncton processes have been pretty well the same timing-wise so far, so hopefully you guys can expect the same!

Woohoo! I woke up to a green light on my take charge page! I was streamed for flight service specialist only, which is kind of disappointing since I was really hoping for VFR. Nevertheless, I plan on enthusiastically accepting any course offers that I (hopefully) receive. Armyman and any others who ...

Hi all, I am in the process of 'taking charge' of my career. Green lights all around in YUL FIR. I do, however, have some questions I was too embarrassed to ask the interviewers. Is there a list of towers sorted by their salary level (ie ATC 1-7) ? I've been searching for hours and have only found ...
