NAV Canada recruitment is extremely vague in their responses when you contact them (sometimes, they won't even read your email and send a generic response), and add the inconsistency to the mix and now you have a company who really doesn't know how to treat the people who committed so much time to ...

And YVR is still hardly constrained by those at all. Victoria controls south of the 49th and IFR traffic is kept above 7000 feet on the North Shore. The closest mountain a STAR downwind comes to is QE Park at a whopping 500 feet! :lol: Jeez... you'd think that this was Kai Tak doing the checkerboar...

Well maybe the majority of controllers should be pilots, there are plenty of pilots that are trying get in in with Nav Canada and it seems like to me (because I've asked) that Nav Canada doesn't really value that as an asset. The hiring process is just strange, that ridiculous "Wonderlic" test at t...

same boat as you, only i can't seem to find an answer here.

Any help would be appreciated - though I'll probably ask when I start if I don't hear back

Well - whatever the case is I am on stand by - here's hoping for an offer - IFR or VFR. Still a awaiting game. I have my medical in just waiting for them to mail it back to me. Cheers Yeah don't give up hope on IFR! If you ranked high enough for an IFR class, you will probably be a confirmed seat f...

I am asking because I got a stand by offer when you guys/girls did and was told that whoever got there background check and medicals in first would be selected first. Did they tell you how the stand by offers were given and how many received stand by offers? I wasn't given the impression that it's ...

Just got mine done yesterday. My Cat III for flight training didn't take long though... that is, once things actually got sent in...

TFD and everyone else, I got a call yesterday too. See you on May 1!

Same as what husky said - newton isn't a great area so you might find something for cheaper. It is technically transit accessible if you take the 96 from Surrey Central/King George. Simon Fraser University Surrey campus is located at Central City malll, so if you're looking for rentals around a univ...

Standby call received today

Congrats! Are you IFR enroute or terminal?

Hope they're not done calling yet...

my phone rang today from an unfamiliar number which got me all excited... but it was a call from a local car dealership asking if I wanted an oil change for cheap.

what a troll... still patiently waiting

Well, I guess we're now mid-February (or third week, whatever you want to call it)... The wait is slowly chewing me up on the inside.

Anything yet?

Calls are supposed to be coming out around this time for YVR's May 2017 IFR course.

Anyone heard anything yet?

Does anyone know what they test on in the referral process (in-person testing)? Can't seem to find much info on it... Thanks for the help!
