I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Montreal, QC) in Mar 2016
Interview
I Had a telephone interview, in both English and French. The interviewer was very kind, the position I applied for is a bilingual position, so they have to make sure that all applicants are truly fluent in both languages. This was followed by an online assessment. This is to test cognitive abilities, memory and math skills. Still waiting for a in person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a problem you had at work, what was the problem and how did you react to your boss correcting you.
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.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Air Canada in Sept 2023
Interview
Interview process was very professional, unbiased, conducted by an Air Canada recruitment specialist. Was contacted to schedule an interview, then a language assessment was done to complete the application, received a call back with the initial job offer, then onboarding.

Question 1
How would you handle a call from a customer where English or French isn't their primary language (essentially language barriers).
