My class was a special exception for hiring time. 9 months. Kept on getting email updates from HR as to us still being potential candidates. The long wait time in our case was due to both the CN Engineers strike and the olympics. I am not HR, and I cannot give a timeline. If I were to guess though, I would peg it around the 4 or 5 month mark that they would start having people in for training.

I was thisclose to taking the course at BCIT... but damn it's expensive.

Still, I've thought long and hard about applying anyways to see if I could get in without it.

Something to think about the next time it's pissing with rain, and freezing outside... you'd be working in it! A lot of people think they can deal with it, but it's not easy. There is a reason the pay is good!

these guys got about 5000 applications, more are still coming in. if you get called for testing, consider yourself lucky. for the first wave, they usually call in the top 1% of applicants for testing.

So, for those who have applied and heard back, pm me if you have questions. I'm also curious to know who got contacted back and where you are in the process.

You can forward your hotmails from one acct to another. It's in the options somewhere. Or just google how to do it.
