CANADA - Training Timelines and Information on Becoming an ATCO with NAV CANADA

[AGJ]

Thanks

Squibbler, Married a Canadian and Mr Pig,

Thanks for all your comments. It has given me some extra info that I was seeking.

I would be going down the ab-initio route as I am not presently a trained controller. I will be moving to Canada this summer as a Permanent Resident so I will be able to apply to NAV Canada.

If you have any info regarding the waiting times from successful completion of the selection process to starting training then that would be much appreciated.

Married,

I notice you are based at YYZ and this is one of the locations that I would be interested in for a variety of reasons. I’d be grateful if you could give me an insight into working there. Are you IFR or VFR? Is it a good unit? Morale high/low etc. Are they recruiting for YYZ at the moment?

Thanks again,

AGJ
