30 years old, married and no kids (yet). I am tossed between following a career as a commercial pilot or an IFR controller with NavCanada. My partner is a professional who earns a good salary and is supportive of my switching to either of these professions so long as we stay in the lower mainland (B...

So I guess we'd be waiting until next fall to hear whether we actually get picked up for a course then, eh?

They don't run multiple courses at a time?

Still nothing, though it seems as though nobody from YVR has recieved any offers (based off of here and reddit) so I'd wager that they just aren't sending out offers at the moment.

Edit: Generally only 1 IFR course is run per year, so the next opportunity is likely Feb/March of 2025

How far in advance do offers tend to go out?

Still nothing. Anyone get any bites? Nothing on my end yet either. If they're running courses in the fall I assume they'll be giving out offers soon...There were more rounds of interviews that took place recently as well so I guess they're getting their pool of candidates together now or something ...

Congratulations! Any idea how long it takes from passing selection to recieving an offer?

I imagine that there's a chance that you could qualify still if they were to adjust their standards. I'd still focus on building up alternative careers though while you're waiting.

I haven't recieved an email like this. Applied in April, still waiting to hopefully recieve an offer!

Negative. I'll keep y'all in the loop if I recieve any development.

Oh interesting. I've been sitting at "eligible for offer" for 2-3 months now. Maybe I'm at the lower end of what is technically allowable for an offer so others are taking priority.

How long was the wait between getting "eligible for offer" and actually recieving your offer?

No idea what your odds are, but I wish you luck!

Nothing for me.

Anybody have any movement? Friend of mine: Applied: Beginning of June Aptitude test: 1 Week later Feast: October 2023 Seems like they're already looking at new candidates. Hello, you are correct are indeed looking for candidates. This is my Timeline : Applied : Begining of August 2023 Aptitude test...

Negatron, my dude. Just the update to being "eligible for offer".

I've heard nothing yet. People talk of a 2-3 year onboarding process, which is a bit concerning. At that point, I'll be pretty deep into another career, and then taking a paycut down to 45k/year (especially hard in Vancouver lol) with a 30% success rate in training is a pretty huge gamble (I applied...

Mine was in the first week of August.

My account status changed to "eligible for offer" recently as well, but no offer actually recieved as of yet. I'm curious if I interviewed with any of you!
