Not me! I was in YVR specialty training. Towards the end of it.

Sent you a DM, Braun!

I'm also in the YVR region and was training IFR in Speciality training.
All I've had was a survey come from Nav, asking if I was still interested.
Haven't heard anything since.

I can confirm that some trainees have been contacted. When they will be back, who knows. I work in in an ACC. Oops, I totally left that out of my last post! I have been contacted! It was via a generic email that I'm prettttty sure went out to ALL trainees who were terminated. It asked if we were st...

I was in the the group of trainees let go in September.
I was a fair amount of the way through IFR speciality.

We have not heard anything yet directly.
I have only been told that internal emails were sent with mention of starting training... no timeline though.

crossing fingers!

hey guys, I had seen another group on here that had started a WhatsApp chat for those that were studying for their PPL writtens. It was a very old thread, and im assuming they've all written their exams long ago... lol. Anyhow, I thought maybe there may be some people who wanted to bounce ideas/ques...

There's a Terminal course starting in Vancouver in April, and a handful of trainees that haven't been axed at various other units still going. As for Generic IFR/VFR courses or complex tower courses, I would be surprised if anything happens again in 2021. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't see anyth...

In generic training, you can practice as much as you want because the sim is voice recognition and you operate it on your own. Most of us came in on the weekends, especially before an eval. The centre is open 24 hours, so you can come in and practice as much as you'd like. In speciality, the sim is ...

Training is sounding very difficult, you're doing great! How many people are still in your training class? May I ask what happened to the ones that are no longer there? Out out 13, we have 8 remaining. We are nearing the end of specialty training. I'm not really at liberty to discuss details of oth...

That's awesome! What year was that?

Ya I thought so too!
It was last year... I’m still in training!

In my IFR course, we started with 13 students.
6 female and 7 male... so almost 50/50.

sent you a PM.

Hey Lisa! oh wow - it feels like it wasn't that long ago you were saying you had your offer and now you are already starting OJT! time really does fly doesn't it! How have you found the program so far?! We have just entered our third week! Got the ITA all over and done with (woop!) We've been split ...

I am in the IFR course that just started, and we have at least two people (maybe three) who were standby offers!
Wishing you the best of luck and hope you get a seat!

I do not understand your question. By FIR I am assuming flight information region? When you apply, you are applying to the FIR you live in unless you're planning on moving. As for VFR vs IFR - that is decided after your final panel interview. I think it is probably a combination of how well you sco...

Historically they’ve provided iPads.
I heard a rumour they may be switching to tablet.

Wow, I don't want to get nav Canada angry by revealing too much info about the test, but man it was brutal. Did any of you guys who passed the assessment already feel good about it? Hey Hopeful, I wrote in May and was sure I failed. I am horrible at math and guessed on what felt like half. Ran out ...

Hi there, congrats on getting a seat at the assessment!

I am starting IFR training in April!
PM me and I can give you some detailed tips for the assessment
I wrote mine is May of last year.

Did you guys receive your offer letters via email or physical mail?

My girlfriend is an ATC, I work at AC, used to work at Jazz. I’m at home way more than she is. She works a lot of night shift, has to do mandatory overtime. Some months she gets 4-5 day off with the overtime. She’s jealous of my schedule sometimes. Yes we spend a lot of nights in hotel rooms but I ...

I was called and told I would be getting an offer after christmas, and that she just wanted to "give me a heads up before the holidays".
waiting for the email with the "official" offer now!

hi all-
wondering if anyone has received a course offer for April? (YVR FIR)
