Initial phone interview followed by an email personality and compatibility assessment, Once you are hired they schedule phone interviews to verify your language skills that are on your resume, so be prepared for that. Overall it is a pleasant and straightforward process, much like any big corporation.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should I hire you over someone else? Why Air Canada? Provide examples of when you surpassed in your role. Provide an example on how you handled criticism from your boss.
Very easy and straightforward interviews. Your hiring is conditional on the language assessment you need to take during your training and it needs to match your resume, so be mindful of that. Initial email, one assessment, one phone interview. They hire volume not quality for entry level positions.
