If I am not mistaken, the sim is in Fredericton, cross training FSS. It will be quite awhile I would imagine before they are done. Until then I can't see there be any abinitio training in the rest of the FIR.matth wrote:Any idea what the word is on VFR training in Moncton FIR ?

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I'm also waiting for 2nd interview at CZVR. First one was done within 2 weeks of written test (Jan), so I thought they were in a mad rush, but heard NOTHING since. Checked by phone to make sure *I* wasn't the one holding things up (missing docs, etc) but they said I was good. Apparently rolling out some new tech, so gotta get everyone already in-house up to speed before training newbies. No point training us on old system, the lady at recruit center said... So MAYBE a Sept start...

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I just received a training offer for a YEG VFR in September. Anyone else?

Don't spoil the fun for them, jakey. It will be easier this way
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Voice Req has no chance of working in a high volume specialty with a lot of required co-ordination. (Which most in YYZ are) A lot of the phraseology used in co-ordinating with other controllers is ad-hoc and the voice req won't recognize it, putting the controller behind in his/her run.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I completely agree with you. I didn't enjoy it in basic VFR.Dees wrote:Voice Req has no chance of working in a high volume specialty with a lot of required co-ordination.

Let's hope somebody's listening before they ram it through...
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Does anyone in YEG region know if the September VFR course is full? Hurley_Bird?
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
This is my first post (Hopefully of many)
I have my second interview this Monday July 12th at YYZ. It has pretty much been a year since I started this process and almost 10 months since my Phone Interview. I was actually very surprised to get a phone call, specially considering I have not sent NAV Canada any documentation yet. Mostly because the hastle to get out-of-country education approved is rather large. But also because I am in my late 30's and a major adjustment to family life if this is to happen.
However, it would be a dream come true, and I will continue to pursue it.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I passed my 2nd interview in August of last year, so I have about 7 months left on my 18 months of eligibility. I'm still hoping, praying, etc that NavCan calls sometime.
Haha, even if they don't, I'll just keep applying. I'm sure I'll eventually get in

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Green lit and waiting for a training offer in the YVR VFR pool. If I recall correctly from my 2nd interview in mid June, one of the interviewers said there was an in-house VFR course going through in the fall sometime. Anyone have an idea if that's true or if they're looking to pick up any street guys for VFR?
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Hey Jolt63
I got a green light as well...how do you know what stream they placed you in?
My message just mentions best of luck in all 3 streams, no mention of a particular one?
Disregard...just had a another look...IFR for me

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
For you guys who made it past the 2nd Interview and received your training offers: how long did it take before your light went "green"? After that, how long until you were called/contacted to get ready for the course?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I was with a group that took a tour of the yyz tower a few weeks ago. Has anyone been offered a place on the september VFR course or May IFR yet? They said they were still filling the VFR but haven't heard anything since the tour.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I too was in that tour that we got at the tower... Never got a call for a VFR position though, and the website still shows as IFR training pool...tangel01 wrote:Well, it seems the national recruitment center isn't giving away information anymore. They are no longer revealing to applicants:
-if and when training groups for an area are to begin
-or the number of seats in the next group
-or if and when the calls will go out for the next group
//I applied in February so I guess that means I have until August of next year to be inducted into training. Gotta keep my fingers crossed I guess.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Greetings !!
I wonder how many others are in the same stage of the process ??
I had the interview in Surrey, BC this summer, and am still waiting for the little yellow light to decide which direction it's going to go.
I really enjoyed the entire process so far, and am hoping to continue with a course in the new year if the light goes green.
Good luck to everyone !!

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Hey Fellas (and ladies):
Anyone still waiting for training offers in YVR? This Thread went dead and I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten a call, or been placed, or readying for a course?
Would love any feedback (especially from all of you "lurkers" out there like me, just watching and not commenting (usually)).

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?

Nov 11 marked the 1 yr point since my 1st interview, 2nd was in May...waiting ever since. Last word was a course in the spring..not sure if that will be VFR or IFR though
