NAV CANADA Online Assessment Practice
NAV CANADA says its online assessment is timed and should take about 30 minutes. It does not publish what is in it. These are three practice runs of 30 of our own questions against a 30-minute clock, covering selected abilities NAV CANADA lists for its in-person test: simple math, spatial visualization, thinking and reasoning, and information processing and attention.
The tests
The free sample has 4 spatial questions and runs in the same test player as the runs. Each run is 30 questions against a 30-minute clock, mixing simple math, spatial visualization, thinking and reasoning, and information processing and attention. The clock is our own practice pace. NAV CANADA's pages do not state its tests' question types or counts.

NAV CANADA does not publish what its online assessment contains. These runs practise selected abilities NAV CANADA lists for its in-person test, using our own questions against our own 30-minute practice clock. For working speed, further practice in the other abilities covered here, and interview practice, see the in-person test pack.
The selection process, as NAV CANADA describes it
| Stage | What NAV CANADA says | If unsuccessful, reapply after |
|---|---|---|
| Online assessment | Sent by email to applicants who meet the eligibility requirements. Timed, about 30 minutes, done from anywhere with internet; NAV CANADA recommends a desktop or laptop computer, not a phone or tablet. | 1 year after the testing date |
| In-person test | About six hours, typically at an area control centre. It evaluates core cognitive abilities including memory, working speed, spatial visualization, thinking and reasoning, attention, information processing and simple math. NAV CANADA sends candidates a link to a training platform to help them prepare. Successful candidates are invited to a 15-minute pre-screening interview the same day. | 2 years after the testing date |
| Assessment centre | A half day of group and individual exercises and an interview designed to assess skills, abilities and attitudes. Be ready to discuss your academic and work experience and your interest in air traffic control. | 3 years after the assessment date |
| Language testing and selection | Language testing by phone with a third-party company where needed; then an offer before the course start date, subject to medical, licensing, security clearance and drug testing (including cannabis). | – |
NAV CANADA's careers page asks that, at the time of application, you are 18 or older and have a high school diploma or equivalent. It also asks that you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, meet the language requirements (fluent English for all regions, and fluent English and French for the Montreal Flight Information Region, including the National Capital Region), are willing to relocate for training or work, and are available to start full-time training within 18 months of applying. Before employment you must meet Transport Canada's medical requirements, complete a security check and an initial drug screening test, including cannabis; after hiring, background-check requirements and NAV CANADA's Drug and Alcohol policy continue to apply. Passing one stage does not guarantee an invitation to the next.

Questions
Are these the real NAV CANADA test questions?
No. Every question is our own. The NAV CANADA pages cited here give no test questions or detailed formats, and nothing here reproduces or claims to resemble its tests or the training platform it sends candidates.
Is this made or recommended by NAV CANADA?
No. It is independent practice by ProSyllabus and is not affiliated with NAV CANADA. NAV CANADA sends candidates a link to a training platform to prepare for the in-person test; use it.
What does NAV CANADA test?
Its selection page says the in-person test evaluates core cognitive abilities including memory, working speed, spatial visualization, thinking and reasoning, attention, information processing and simple math. Before it comes a timed online assessment of about 30 minutes. Candidates successful at the in-person test are invited to a 15-minute pre-screening interview the same day. A later half-day assessment centre has group and individual exercises and an interview. Passing a stage does not guarantee an invitation to the next.
Will this make me pass?
We do not claim that it will. It gives you timed practice for abilities NAV CANADA lists, a side-by-side overview of your last scores on each set, and the reasoning behind every answer, so you can see what to work on.
What do I get?
3 practice runs of 30 questions, each against a 30-minute clock, and the free sample of 4 spatial questions: in the full test player with a question palette and mark for review. After each set: your score, a breakdown by ability, question type or competency, your time per question and the explanation of every answer. Retake any set as often as you like.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card (or PayPal where offered), handled by our payment provider. In Canada the price is charged in Canadian dollars, and in the United States, the United Kingdom and the euro area in your own currency. Before you pay, the checkout shows the exact amount and the currency you will be charged in. If your currency is not supported, the charge is in Indian rupees (INR), and any local figure shown before checkout is an estimate, not the amount charged. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account. Purchase policy.
