leylandvictory2 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Big division lots of short routes be ready to suffer on the dufferin. Plus side - most of the relief points are subway stations so you can stay warm during the winter. to add to that. They have some of the toughest routes: killer poles and narrow lanes.

Azriel28 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi guys! Any idea how long it could take for a documentation after handing in your police clearance? thnx all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefcake Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi guys! Any idea how long it could take for a documentation after handing in your police clearance? thnx all! No fixed timeline, every situation is unique. I emailed my police clearance last week. I was told I can expect to get a call for documentation within the next month or so, followed by a start date in March 2015. That being said, it could be a longer wait time, could be shorter. Rough guideline. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Not to scare anyone currently going through the process, there is a rumour going around stating new hires are now being forced to sign an agreement stating they may be laid off after the pan-am games due to a shortage of work. Not sure how true this is but has anyone here who recently went for documentation seen this? I heard this will start happening soon. Possibly today, anyone start training?

LMESSIAH Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hopefully with Tories announcement we'll actually need all the hires going forward. Adding express lines and restoring 2011 service. Not to mention the influx of children riders we'll now have being free lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyouptown Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks Interstellar congrats, I also got something today from the TPS but I have to do a fingerprint screen. Has anyone done one before and do you know how long it takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETTC Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks Interstellar congrats, I also got something today from the TPS but I have to do a fingerprint screen. Has anyone done one before and do you know how long it takes?HiI did this. If u live in toronto then call the number which is in the letter and book n appointment. I called and left my first and last name with contact number. I got the call back from tps same day and got first available appointment after 4 weeks. After fingerprinting it took 3 weeks to get clearance letter from TPS. RCMP send result directly to TPS.. If U live out side toronto than inquire with local police and probably u can do fingerprints sameday and save time. it wasted my 2 months without any reason. Hope this helps. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImHopin2 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hey, I also signed my conditional offer on December 4th. Just received my police clearance today. Good luck to everyone playing the waiting game! I signed conditional on Dec 5th, I also got my background check in the mail yesterday. For those waiting on their criminal bkg check, it was 6 weeks exact, from signing conditional, to receiving CRI in the mail. Good luck to all, seems like there are a few of on here right now that are all at the same stage of the process. Can't wait to start!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck Thanks BETTC for the info. I actually went to one of the agencies this morning, no appointment was necessary I was able to get it done there. I was taken aback by the $80 charge but either way I was told I'll get the results in about a week which I have to take back to TPS to then get my letter. It's quite a process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes there are training going on at Birchmount. As for laying off, anything is possible. However if TTC plans to layoff people, why would it train new operators. The training isn't free.
