It doesn't get any better when you do strike up 2-way comms. Last Oct I spoke to the recruiter dealing with the experienced controller trg in Ottawa after they received my CV. I was verbally advised that I was on the list for aptitude trg for Edmonton/Calgary due to take place in Spring 2004.
Nothing more from NavCan since.
Now, having lived in "the great white north" myself for 3 years I know that their winters are long, but I figure that they must be in the summer by now. Sending out nothing in 10 months is no way to recruit. I never chased the matter up as my situation in the UK has changed dictating that I cannot move to Canada at the moment.

My advice is don't hold your breath ot build up your hopes. Anyeay., it might be one, if not the best, country to live in but with only 3 wks leave, you won't get much time to enjoy it!!
