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.

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...

What's wrong with the voice rec? Tough to use?

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.

I completely agree with you. I didn't enjoy it in basic VFR.
Let's hope somebody's listening before they ram it through...

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.

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 ;)

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?

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

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. :)

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.

-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.
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...

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 !!

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)).

:)
