ATC/FSS Drug Testing / Medical

Post by youngatc12 »

Hello!

Wondering how many days after your offer do you have to get your medical and drug test? is it 10 or 30 days from receiving your offer on the phone or officially by email? Thanks

When I did all my stuff for FSS, they wanted the drug test done ASAP after the offer was accepted, and you needed to book your appointment with a CAME as soon as they could take you. I got in to see a CAME about a month from the day I called for the appointment.

Understanding FSS is different than ATC, did you need a CAT 2 medical? Or was there an alternate form yoyu needed to get the CAME to complete?

You need a Cat 2 medical. It’s basically the same as a Cat 2 apparently my CAME told me. The wait time for results is around 3 months he also said :)

ATC need a Cat 2 medical. It's a different process for FSS.

Does nav Canada confirm when you pass the drug test? How long does that usually take?
