I wonder if the recent crash in air travel due to covid-19 along with the recent pull back in the global equities markets has changed nav Canada’s hiring requirements and is related to the delay in results ?

Just speculating !!

Highly unlikely because people being tested right now won't be fully certified until at least Fall 2022 (at least IFR trainees).

Canceling long term hiring for short term problems doesn't make sense.

Honestly it just takes time. HR probably was and is hoping to get the invitations out as soon as possible, but as with any job there’s always things that hold them up whether it’s attending to other concerns (in house) or something as easy as a glitch.

The tests are all marked electronically, but there may be other aspects that they take into account such as resumes, previous testing etc., Best to just sit back and enjoy the show. HR didn’t lie, it’s just part of being in an intense multi-stage job process.

I have a CBSA application in and applied, had initial testing and then an interview which I successfully passed all before even hearing about the FEAST from Nav Can, but my CBSA app hit a brick wall because of previous log jams with psych testing so now it’s in a holding pattern for just under a year now. It sucks and we all want to hear but be thankful that not only does Nav Can report on all reports (pass/fail) but they also do so in a relatively timely manner. It’s only a few days into March and most said they’d know hopefully by March. It sucks but patience is always the best option in these situations. Also be grateful that you likely didn’t have to pay $2k on last minutes notice to fly to Gander to write the FEAST when you live in London haha

Agreed with atcthrowaway, we wont be training until the fall and wont be otj until next year or two years for IFR, I dont think that has an effect on hiring right now since most FIRs are already understaffed.

So update, I am apparently in the Toronto pool primarily but it is possible to move your primary application. Apparently the next 2-3 weeks is when they’ll get back so it’s possible that the hold up may be other applicants like myself who have tested elsewhere.

I see people for their results but that may be the cause of the delay for the bootcamp invites.

So they said we wouldn't hear about bootcamp invitations for another 2-3 weeks?

Not sure about we, but for myself that’s what was said. I think it’s likely because there’s probably others like myself who have written at a later date and thus our info is processed later.

They probably want to make sure they have the best candidates for each pool/all the pools before sounding out invites, just a hunch. It’s probably the same for all the FIR’s as I know there were some people from Alberta on my testing day.
