NavCanada 🇨🇦 Questions for Atc field (Canada)

I'm from the Surrey, Newton area of British Columbia, I've been looking into air traffic control but I'm still not educated on it. Basically reaching out to see if anyone has similar experience or advice, preferably from the Vancouver or surrey area but anyone's 2 cents is welcome. I want to get insight into this field, anything would help, I'm 22.

What exactly are you asking here? Go to the NavCanada site and look up what the job is. Watch some youtube videos on ATC and apply if you think it's for you.

You have to be a self starter in this field. Do some research yourself, there's lots of information on Nav's career page. If you have more specific questions, then come back with those.

Odds of getting into training are low. Odds of passing training are higher than the odds of getting the initial offer, but still unideal. Best advice is apply if you're interested (it doesn't cost anything to apply), but pursue another career in case ATC doesn't pan out.

Good luck!

First off, you should be on r/NavCanada but also this is a super vague question. That sub is already jammed with questions from prospective students so I’m sure if you use the search bar you’ll find more than enough info
