Here hoping they compile the results by weeks end

Very frustrating, don't know why it's taking so much longer this time around.

I always assumed the FEAST program compiled it electronically/automatically for you but maybe they have to do it manually?

I wonder if they take a look at your resume this time and see who the better candidates would be. I doubt they do before you write FEAST.

Y’all need to try government application processes if you think this is long. Patience friends, things always happen that delay stuff and sometimes timelines are given just to appease people. March has only just begun.

Thats true. Almost all of them are 1 year+ from your first interview

-Btw you ever find out if you are going back to YQX if you pass or has NAVCAN not given you a definitive answer?

Yeah, I have a few that are in the 1 year since the interview stage. I just treat it as though it’s a nice bonus if I hear something but gotta make money regardless.

Radio silence, so I’m just going to wait until they process the next point and maybe just ask in person if I go and if I don’t make it well then it doesn’t matter haha

I wonder if the recent crash in air travel due to covid-19 along with the recent pull back in the global equities markets has changed nav Canada’s hiring requirements and is related to the delay in results ?

Just speculating !!

Was thinking the same here.

Highly unlikely because people being tested right now won't be fully certified until at least Fall 2022 (at least IFR trainees).

Canceling long term hiring for short term problems doesn't make sense.

This was posted on the NavCanada LinkedIn page earlier today:

"Explore a career safely guiding aircraft as an Air Traffic Controller. We are now accepting applications for fall 2020 employment in Toronto, Vancouver, Moncton, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Montreal."

Honestly it just takes time. HR probably was and is hoping to get the invitations out as soon as possible, but as with any job there’s always things that hold them up whether it’s attending to other concerns (in house) or something as easy as a glitch.

The tests are all marked electronically, but there may be other aspects that they take into account such as resumes, previous testing etc., Best to just sit back and enjoy the show. HR didn’t lie, it’s just part of being in an intense multi-stage job process.

I have a CBSA application in and applied, had initial testing and then an interview which I successfully passed all before even hearing about the FEAST from Nav Can, but my CBSA app hit a brick wall because of previous log jams with psych testing so now it’s in a holding pattern for just under a year now. It sucks and we all want to hear but be thankful that not only does Nav Can report on all reports (pass/fail) but they also do so in a relatively timely manner. It’s only a few days into March and most said they’d know hopefully by March. It sucks but patience is always the best option in these situations. Also be grateful that you likely didn’t have to pay $2k on last minutes notice to fly to Gander to write the FEAST when you live in London haha

Agreed with atcthrowaway, we wont be training until the fall and wont be otj until next year or two years for IFR, I dont think that has an effect on hiring right now since most FIRs are already understaffed.
