IS TRANSPORT CANADA OPEN?

[yannickgarcha]

Hi
I called TC three weeks ago concerning my first class one medical and I was told to call them back two weeks later. I have been trying to reach them but it seems that there is no one picking up the telephone at the ontario region. Is there anything I can do to contact them?

It’s closed

So how do we communicate with matters? Email the certain department?

[PilotDAR]

Many TC people are working from home. I have found them to be reasonably responsive. If you have a number, phone it, you may be forwarded. Or, email.

You need to contact the person directly (like an inspector)

Each TCC office has an email address ie commercial operations, aircraft and registration all have separate ones and then the email that is sent is logged in and sent to the proper person. Last i heard the licences are done by any office in Canada.

If you call TC Medical they have an email address listed on the voicemail. Don’t forget the E at the end of the French “civile”. They responded within a couple of days.

Could you please type out the whole email address if you know it? I can't understand the French part. It's ontcivilaviationmedicine-____________@tc.gc.ca

Sure thing - you'd think they would abbreviate it but no...

I wrote to them to ask some information and received a reply to my question.

Back when I had management access to an exchange server, you were able to create multiple aliases for one account... that is you could have multiple addresses for the same person... so they should be able to have much shorter addresses while maintaining bilingual access. In my case, for example, I gave the chief pilot the address “cp@airline.com” in addition to his main address that followed company protocols (“athirteenletterlongname@airline.com”). This made it much simpler to share his address, a lot lower chance of a typo creeping in, and it also meant that when he retired, the next CP could have the cp email alias moved to his account, so anybody with an old contact email could still reach a valid person.

At the same time, can you imagine TC not taking the most convoluted and onerous approach to anything as mundane as email addresses!

The issue is if you post an address somewhere and end up only putting the english version or mis spell the french it's a lot more likely get them sued than fucking up the single address

"ONTCAM-MAC" satisfies both english and french and is simple... maybe it was taken already.

I had my medical done on March 9 and decided it was time to downgrade from Category 1 to 3. The doctor said TC would send me a sticker. A few weeks ago I phoned and was informed the RAMO office had received the report and passed it to one of their doctors.

Since then, nothing after 65 days.

I am tempted to delay my $55 check for an equivalent period.

Mine was printed today, according to the online portal, but not processed yet, so I assume they're open.

I emailed them asking the same and they do not yet have a firm date. By emailing them, you'll get notified when they open up - aviation.ont@tc.gc.ca

Awesome! Didn't know they had an online portal...

Not that there's any rush now... but in the past, I was able to go to Yonge/Sheppard and got them to print it off on the spot after getting approved, versus waiting for it in the mail (yes, I was that eager).
