there was a class that didn't finish training after the layoff.  It may be the same group.

Quick question for those who are still waiting.

I had to do my police check and medical. Police check was sent a month ago and still haven't recieved it. Has anyone else had this much of a delay? Last time I got mine within 2 weeks.

Saw that the news that TTC is training subway and streetcar operators on the bus to adjust levels needed for the current situation. Anyone have an idea how this will affect us that are waiting ng for training?

Personally I think this pushes us back even further.

Tbh we don't know anything, but I know that they have a lot of retirement this year, and the ridership might increase by March to at least 50-60% and may be more, you can't predict anything in the mean time

I think they will be starting training in January for new hires. This is what I have heard from my instructor during training

Angi didn't you finish your training in March?

No we were in middle of training when mto office closed. Then we were on light duties for a month then got laid off. We were called back in November and then finished our remaining training.

Got you , sorry to hear that, but thankfully you are back

it doesn't really.  you will be put into the mode where you are needed.  Most likely buses.

I guess there won't be any training at the beginning of January? Anyways I know it's been like super quiet here lately. Just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone here, stay safe! And hopefully next year will be better. See you all in the new year. Thanks for the helpful posts

Probably not with the new lockdown. Who really knows these days anymore. 

[Shankl]

I believe that the lock down won't affect anything , as the MTO still operating for commercial license, it will likely either by mid January or early February 

( wishful thinking)

Hi all, first time poster, long time viewer of the board.

Here is how my hiring process turned out. This was back in 2018, but can provide some insight on waiting times:

 

Applied Online = Around Christmas 2017

Received Invitation for Orientation = January 2018

Orientation = February 2018

Received email for Interview = March 2018

Interview = Early April 2018

References contacted = February and March 2018

Received email regarding passing the interview = April 18^th, 2018

Medical = April 23^rd, 2018

Received Police Clearance Letter = April 30^th, 2018

Medical Results = May 11^th

Email for Documentation = June 7^th, 2018                                                                           

(cannot remember date of phone call first notifying of Documentation date)

Documentation = June 8^th, 2018

Training Call = June 12^th, 2018

Training = June 29^th, 2018

Completed Training = August 2^nd, 2018

 

With the pandemic drastically changing things all around us, I am not sure how this has impacted the waiting process.

What I can tell you is some colleagues were laid off for 4-6 months in 2020, but were all reinstated by end of November.  

 

To all that are still going through the TTC hiring process- please continue to be patient!

For some/ most, the wait will be worth it! 

 

Cheers,

Danny G

Just a heads up, I have recieved an email from my recruiter informing me that due to the tighter lockdown imposed by the Ontario government the operator recruitment is on hold at the moment.
