Before your first Air Canada shift
Every airport job waits on a federal clearance, and cabin crew also sit through weeks of classroom and pool training. Here is the checklist for each role.
💡 Collect your five-year history now: the clearance form asks for every address, job and school since then, so having dates ready avoids weeks of back and forth with Transport Canada.
Sending your application to Air Canada
Narrow the listings by city and job family, and check the language line in each ad. Airport teams hire most heavily before the summer and winter holiday peaks.
Look up Air Canada openings at your airport or in the cabin.
