Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
Hello friends!
I completed my in person interview through the employee referral progam end of December. After reading that some of you have already received phone calls I was curious if those that have went through the national online program or are also internal referrals. I'm disappointed to have potentially
missed this round.
Cheers

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
Most of this round were through the referral process, but there are a few from the national program.
There is no new VFR class at yyz this spring/summer, there is supposed to be one starting in september, but rumors are this is going to be cancelled as well.

I noticed there's thousands of views for this thread alone on these forums
Are there really that many people waiting for a training offer? Lol

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
The waiting is the hardest part....

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
Just completed the in-person assessment test May 24th for the Toronto FIR. They said that there was an IFR, VFR and FSS course coming up this Fall (didn't specify which month), and another set of all three courses starting in April 2018. So if you're waiting for a training offer, I guess you could expect one to come 2-3 months prior to those dates. No one from the assessments on May 24 or 25 would be considered for the Fall courses.
It was also mentioned that there were ~750 people waiting just to get invited to an in-person assessment in Toronto FIR. So there is a large backlog of applicants (but that's probably always true...)

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
I'm coming in as an experienced controller....so I can't speak to the generic courses. Sorry all. Didn't mean to cause confusion.

Any updates regarding upcoming YYZ courses? Are they offering VFR, IFR and FSS in the fall? Any offers went out yet?

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
My cousin got called for the September IFR course yesterday. Stings extra hard for me since I've been in the candidate pool since February whereas he only joined the pool a few weeks ago.thebigman111 wrote:I can't believe no one's been called. It's almost September!
Ah well, the waiting game continues.

Re: YYZ Interviews and Upcoming Courses
From what I've heard through the grapevine at work, the offers for the VFR course in September haven't gone out yet because they're still finalizing the exact start date. That info is second/third hand, so I can't vouch for it being definitive. However, if you're still waiting to hear, I would say hang on a couple more weeks until early August to wait for the call. And good luck!

Well it's good to hear that calls are going out now at least.
