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

Anyone heard anything yet?

Haven't heard anything yet... Keep me posted if you hear anything.

Hey Brett,

Last time I talked with YVR ACC they said to expect offers last week of February. Here's hoping!

Hey,

I just got pooled after my final interview a couple of weeks ago and I was told the May 1st successful candidates will hear mid February. Fingers crossed!

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?

Nothing for me yet. Just sitting patiently by my phone haha.

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

Hah, I had a friend call me last week from a Surrey number and I got super excited as well. Still the waiting game.

The BC blood donation clinic called me, I got super excited and then shed a couple tears as I listened to the prerecorded message.

Just got my call at 10am! Hopefully see some of you guys in the course.

Congrats! Are you IFR enroute or terminal?

Hope they're not done calling yet...

I received a call as well yesterday for the May 1st course. The letter says Basic IFR, I assume they will decide if you go enroute or terminal after you are successful in the basic course.

Just like Abby said, I got the basic IFR course as well. Abby, how many hours do you have flying? Nice to have a fellow pilot in the course.

I also received the call last week for basic IFR. Abbypilot and Steelhead, looking forward to meeting you both there!

Standby call received today

Hi guys!
A little bit late to the game here. I was on standby, but someone declined their offer and I've now been accepted to the IFR course starting May 1.

Controllercrazy, don't lose hope! If no one else changes their mind on this course (or doesn't pass medical/background), it sounds from other threads like those put on standby have a good shot at a subsequent course.

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

TFD and controller crazy - do you have your medicals completed yet?? Just wondering how long it takes to get your category 2 from once your doctor mails it in???

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

I went in on Friday to do mine... obviously don't have it back yet, but they told me after it was done that I passed, and that they thought it would be about 3 weeks for me to get it from TC
