Before covid happened, I was going through the application process and had just completed the FEAST test successfully. But nearly 6 months ago, I had a seizure in my sleep. I haven't been diagnosed with epilepsy (yet), but I'm guessing it's coming and my neurologist thinks it will easily be managed with a small dose of mild medication.

My question is should I abandon hope of ever becoming an ATC post-covid? Would this completely disqualify me from passing medical clearance? I'm not entirely sure who I should be asking, whether it's a medical examiner, or Navcanada, or my neurologist. Just curious if I should go through the hoops of the application process for ATC, or if I should instead try for FSS or even something else.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this should instead have been posted in NavCanada Hiring.

Thanks for the link!

Is there any chance that I might still get medical clearance despite this? A medical examiner, Navcanada, or my neurologist are all possible candidates, but I can't decide which one to consult first. I was wondering whether it would be worth it to go through the hoops of applying for ATC, or if I would be better off trying for FSS or something else entirely.

I think you still have a chance
