Hi there!
Anyone here eligible for offer in YUL? Also, does anyone know the dates for the start of the next VFR and IFR courses?

Thank you for the info! You didn't end up passing the bootcamp?

I was probably too candid + I had messed up the FEAST because I didn't read the instructions properly and I couldn't get the instructions back after the trial before the final bit. I'll reapply, but at this point, I might be able to get money elsewhere with more ease. The process is really opaque so I don't know what I did wrong. I thought it was a sure thing when I realized how few people there actually were that attended boot camp.
We'll see

I'm sorry to hear that
Yeah of course you should reapply, I heard that many people that don't do so well in the process (especially the FEAST) reapply and they end up getting an offer. I do agree the process is opaque though, it gets really frustrating.

Eligible for Offer. Offered FSS back in Nov but declined. I talked to the hiring manager in Ottawa and they said that most regions courses will be held in the spring (already full) and next fall. Offers should be coming out March/April for the fall courses.

Did you do your testing at YUL too? At my bootcamp they said we are considered for the spring courses now, are they already full?

YVR. We were told we were considered for spring, but people were already getting offers for IFR and VFR before I even did the bootcamp. I'm assuming they had 1 or 2 FSS spots open maybe they needed to fill at the time. They should be full now as there's a lot of pre-course tasks to do (medical, security clearance, 2 online courses).

Ah maybe it's different at YVR, here I believe there is a course fthat starts in january, people were getting offers for it during the end of the summer. I was in the new round of testing in summer, so perhaps I'll be considered for the fall. Anyway, best of luck for you! Let's hope they pick us at sometime in the future haha
