• Any updates on training?

We were told in QM ACC that HR/training dept had been reaching out to the trainees that were on the floor when they were let go to see if they were interested in coming back.

I was a fair amount of the way through IFR speciality.

We have not heard anything yet directly.
I have only been told that internal emails were sent with mention of starting training... no timeline though.

crossing fingers!

I can confirm that some trainees have been contacted. When they will be back, who knows. I work in in an ACC.

I just wanted to say I really appreciate the unofficial updates from everyone, even if there’s no confirmed dates yet. Thanks for posting folks

Oops, I totally left that out of my last post! I have been contacted!

It was via a generic email that I'm prettttty sure went out to ALL trainees who were terminated.
It asked if we were still interested in returning, and if so, how soon could we start.
It also asked if we would be interested in other streams other than what we were training in,
and if we would be interested in relocating.

That was basically it.
I guess they are collecting data to see how many have moved on and how many are interested in coming back.

I got a call this very morning, an offer for FSS, starting in september, I'm from Montreal. Things ARE getting better ! I did not believe it at first ! However, I gotta sleep on that one, hoped for VFR ...she said FSS(september) and FIC courses were planned. Yup, things are getting better !

I was in the pool since feb 2020

Big congrats, this is great news! I presume you had just finished the FEAST examinations and were in that pool of candidates waiting for offers before they shut down recruitment? Also seems like they are indeed hiring for FSS first (as noted earlier), although a sample size of 1 leaves much to yet be seen. All the best moving forward

Yup waiting since feb 2020, just before covid and thanks !

I have good information from reliable sources that there will be an FSS course starting in Edmonton in August. So training is starting again.

Got a call as well on Friday for FIC in Quebec for September.

Had to refuse since I am from Montreal, cannot move and wanted IFR only anyways.

So yes things are moving! Good luck!

FYI passed interview in Feb 2020.

Can confirm. Got a call for FSS in YEG which I politely declined. Here’s hoping!

Just curious where you were in the application process. As I had received an offer and was about to start the IFR training in YEG a couple weeks before COVID shut everything down.
Wonder if they are reaching out to people who had started training or had been given offers first or if everyone is back on the wait list now.
Did they mention when that FSS course in YEG would be starting? Just looking for some kind of insight.

late aug for the FSS course. I also turned it down.

Posted: **Thu Jul 22, 2021 11:25 am**

I was curious for those who are turning down FSS courses, are you hoping for VFR/IFR offers later down the line or reapplying from the start again?

Yup, FSS is lower pay, and not as interesting to me, but most importantly it would require me to move my wife and 2 young kids to some pretty awful places…. VFR the worst that could happen is Yellowknife so I can make do, hoping for IFR but VFR will also be an instant yes, always dreamt of VFR

Late august start date if I recall. And I had been put in eligibility pool in 2020 and it’s been extended to 2022 last I was told

Got an offer for Montreal ACC, but had to turn it down because mon francais n'est pas fort lol
For reference, I took the FEAST around fall 2019. They told me my application has been extended to be valid until next summer.

Just out of curiosity, did they say for when the offer was for? I.E. Course start date?

Did they specify if it was for IFR or FSS, or VFR?

Yup, thanks. I work in the ACC. Apparently it is easier to get information on Avcanada than at Nav. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if any of the trainees have been recalled? it seems odd Nav is sending out offers to candidates but trainees haven't been recalled yet
