# NAV CANADA Assessment Results 2026: Workday, Scores and Next Steps > NAV CANADA results explained: Workday status, why passing is not guaranteed progression, online and in-person outcomes, assessment centre results and waiting rules. Canonical: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/nav-canada/results/ Site guide: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/llms.txt **A NAV CANADA assessment result and an invitation to the next stage are not the same decision.** NAV CANADA says that **passing one selection stage does not guarantee additional testing**: progression also reflects comparative scores and operational requirements. Use your **Workday account and personal email**, not a practice-test percentage, to interpret your own status. See the [current official selection process](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/air-traffic-control-selection-and-training.aspx). _Reviewed November 7, 2026. We cannot see your score, employer messages or application. No part of this guide guarantees you passed or failed._ ## What a result means at each NAV CANADA stage _On mobile, swipe this table horizontally to read the last column. Keyboard users can focus it and scroll sideways._ Stage Published next step If unsuccessful Online assessment Approx. 30-minute remote assessment, with possible later regional invitation Eligible to reapply one year after testing date In-person cognitive test Approx. six-hour regional test; successful candidates complete a 15-minute same-day pre-screening interview Eligible to reapply two years after testing date Assessment centre Separate half-day group and individual exercises and interview Eligible to reapply three years after assessment date Selection and employment checks Offer only for selected candidates; medical, licensing, security and drug-testing conditions No universal 1/2/3-year rule published for this separate situation The table uses the [official employer selection page](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/air-traffic-control-selection-and-training.aspx). For a dedicated explanation of eligibility dates, see [retake policy](/nav-canada/retake-policy/). ## Workday, personal email and what they can tell you The [NAV CANADA Careers in Aviation page](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/careers-in-aviation) says ATS candidates apply through **Workday** and that assessment invitations and decisions depend on eligibility, scores and operational needs. Employer messages about next steps are also sent to the **personal email** used in the application. The **general job-seeker FAQ** covers recruitment for various positions and states that its example steps **refer to roles outside Air Traffic Services**. Do not copy its generic status descriptions onto an ATC applicant as if every Workday label established that an ATC assessment was passed. Use this sequence instead: open the most recent Workday message, check the date and exact stage named, cross-check official email, and follow any candidate-specific instructions. **Silence, an unchanged dashboard or a short generic status label is not a confirmed pass or fail.** A public site cannot tell you when a regional testing slot will open. ## Passing scores, rank comparisons and score feedback The current selection page does not publish a universal **numerical passing score, percentile cutoff, full scoring grid or pass rate** for all stages. NAV CANADA says candidates may be selected for further testing based on their relative assessment results and operational requirements. An [older official French ATS FAQ](https://www.navcanada.ca/fr/carrieres/controleur-de-la-circulation-aerienne/faq---services-de-la-circulation-aerienne.aspx) says individual assessment grades and performance feedback are not provided. That FAQ also contains **outdated operational statements**; it should be treated as **historical documentation**, not a guarantee about the feedback policy for every current recruiting round. Read your actual result message and contact NAV CANADA through official channels if needed. **Practice scores on [ATCPracticeTest.com](https://www.atcpracticetest.com/) are not NAV CANADA scores** and cannot tell you what threshold NAV CANADA applied to your candidature. ## How long do results and applications remain active? The current employer [Careers in Aviation](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/careers-in-aviation) page says an ATS application may remain **active for up to 36 months before expiry**. That is an **application-active period**, not a promise that a particular test score stays valid for 36 months or that you will receive a training offer. Separately, unsuccessful candidates may be eligible to **reapply after one, two or three years** depending on which test they did not pass. **Application expiry and assessment reapplication waits are different rules.** Eligibility also depends on an open vacancy and current instructions. For the broader sequence, see [hiring process](/nav-canada/hiring-process/), [selection timeline](/nav-canada/selection-timeline/) and [assessment centre](/nav-canada/assessment-centre/). ## Two original examples: interpret candidate messages responsibly These are **invented learning examples**, not reproduced NAV CANADA messages, Workday screenshots or confidential result notices. ### Example 1 - Passed a stage, no next invitation A fictional candidate’s message says a stage is complete, but there is no invitation for the next regional test. Is that necessarily a rejection? Show the reasoning **No.** NAV CANADA says passing a stage does not guarantee additional testing; invitations depend on selection and operational requirements. The fictional message cannot establish a pass or fail without its actual employer wording. ### Example 2 - Different waiting periods A fictional candidate did not pass an in-person cognitive test. May they assume the online test’s one-year waiting period applies? Show the stage-specific answer **No.** NAV CANADA's published in-person wait is **two years after the in-person testing date**, not one year. Confirm the exact original date and current policy in the candidate's official notice. ## Next actions after your own result If invited forward, read deadlines carefully, use the official familiarisation link given for an **in-person** assessment, and prepare for the stage explicitly named in your message. The [interview guide](/nav-canada/interview/) explains the distinct 15-minute pre-screening and later assessment-centre interview. Bilingual roles may entail [language testing](/nav-canada/language-requirements/). If not selected, save the **date of the unsuccessful stage**, review the published waiting period and check current Workday opportunities once eligible. You are **not automatically enrolled** in another assessment. For general original exercises while waiting, see [free-first preparation](/nav-canada-assessment/preparation/); these cannot predict employer selection. ## Primary sources and independence - [NAV CANADA - Air Traffic Control Selection and Training](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/air-traffic-control-selection-and-training.aspx): stages, interviews, eligibility waits, communications and employment conditions. - [NAV CANADA - Careers in Aviation](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/careers-in-aviation): Workday, comparative selection and 36-month application-active period. - [NAV CANADA - FAQ for Job Seekers](https://www.navcanada.ca/en/careers/faq-for-job-seekers.aspx): general hiring FAQ; explicitly **not** a complete ATC-specific Workday status guide. - [NAV CANADA - older French ATS FAQ](https://www.navcanada.ca/fr/carrieres/controleur-de-la-circulation-aerienne/faq---services-de-la-circulation-aerienne.aspx): historical source regarding individual grade disclosure, not confirmation of a current policy. **Independent site:** [ATCPracticeTest.com](https://www.atcpracticetest.com/) is not NAV CANADA.
