Hey there cpo2ganga!!!!

Congratulations on making it this far! Including yourself and me(I?- Good thing that wasn't a question on the assessment, LOL) I count at least eight, on this forum who are still waiting for their second interview.

Does anyone have any info or stats on how many get the first interview green but not a second interview?

Hey Gents,

It's impossible to say really, you could ask for % of people that complete a phone interview but not get in person. Most people I know that have gotten an in person had the interview within a few months, but that isn't to say that it never happens later, I've seen others on this forum wait a year or almost till expiry before getting a call....

IMHO (this is not fact by any means) the fact that you told them you only want IFR may have limited your application. What I mean that is if you didn't score high enough on the exam/interview to qualify for IFR, they may just leave your application sitting there. They have thresholds they like candidates to be at before they will give them a certain stream. Again this is not fact and I do not pretend to know the workings of NavCanada's recruitment process but this would be what I would guess.....Just remember everyone's application is unique to them and not all of us will have the same experience. Keep your heads up guys!!!


BTW: I spoke with Joanne and she confirmed YEG will be doing their next IFR course in October 2017, and VFR in November 2017, both of which she said that most likely the candidates who were just examined this past month will not be in contention for as it takes too long to process all the steps before offers would be going out. She also said there would be another round of both IFR and VFR in May 2018 that all of us would be eligible for. She couldn't say how many seats there would be as it is determined by the FIR closer to the dates, as well as how many seats would be ab-initio (external national candidates) and how many would be seniority bids

Just checking in to see if anyone has been contacted for a second interview.

The suspense is exhilarating.

I've not heard anything about an in person interview as of yet. It's only been about 6 weeks though since my phone interview and green light. Last time I applied it was about 10 weeks I'd say before I got a call. There is no set time I think.

Hey all,

I'm happy to find this forum with all like minded people. This is definitely a stressful time for us all without knowing what the outcome entails. I'm just curious if anyone else is placed in the candidate pool and if so have you received a phone call for a spot on the upcoming course in Oct?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I have been offered the IFR course for Edmonton starting in October, so exciting! Anyone else in for YEG October? Would be cool to get to know some of you and maybe have some study sessions :) I feel like the best classes I have taken have been the ones where all the students had a great dynamic and chemistry :)

Hi KP! How are you finding the pre-course material? Do you know how big the class is?

Outflying that is a bummer :(

Hey, to all of you who passed the in person assessment. I was wondering if you remember how many questions you answered in the listening test. I am sure I must have been really close and am wondering what to aim for next year. Thanks in advance, good luck to everyone who is still waiting on next stages and congratulations to all that are in :)
