Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with the world! I'm 47 yrs old and dreamed of being a flight attendant since I was 7.
It's amazing how we appreciate videos like yours when you know that's what really interests you. I listened to every single word you said and it gave me more inspiration to go for my long last dream. I'm still in thoughts of applying but hopefully I will make up my mind and one day get my "wings" 😊
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Best of luck with your carrier Michelle! 😊
Hello, thank you so much for your kind words. Wow! That made my day. This is why I share my experiences, so I can somehow inspire people one way or another to really go for what their hearts say; to keep pursuing a dream, no matter where you are in life. Best of luck to you, and keep dreaming and going after that dream! ✈️✨💕
Hello Michelle
wow!!! You sure went through a lot from arriving in Vancouver to now
I just discovered your channel and this was the first video I watched
I think you have a great, positive outlook and an interesting channel
I look forward to watching all the videos you posted
I also live in Vancouver (North Van.)
Keep up the great work and the wonderful attitude
Michael 🙂
Hello, thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. I really appreciate it. 🫶
your family and friends (us)will always support you and be with you on your adventures :)@@MichelleAngela
Thanks for sharing your story! Awesome video :)
Thank you so much!
Love this video! I'm currently working under the same airline but as a CSA and hopefully I can work my way up to becoming a flight attendant! So inspiring!
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes! 🙏✨ You will get there someday. ✈️ Best of luck!
Hi Michelle! I agree with you when it comes to how strict the recruitment process is in the Ph as compared to the US and Canada. I've tried so many times in Ph carriers but because my height is just 5'5" (for a male), I usually get rejected despite of my skills, experience, and academic achievements. Whilst here in the US, I tried applying as a Flight Attendant, and I got accepted easily. For the first time, I never felt insecured of how my appearance was nor my height when applying as a Flight Attendant unlike back in the Ph.
Btw, I'm friends with Jessica Hamerston, a YVR based Westjet crew. Cheers! ❤️
You just became an inspiration to me ate michelle🥺♥️ I’ve always wanted to be a flight attendant and now im taking a travel and tourism program in vancouver! Thank you♥️♥️
Hello, thanks so much for watching! And thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. ♥️ I’m glad to hear you are chasing after your dream. Keep pushing. I wish you all the best! ✨
That was a big help! I'm brazilian and i'll be going to Canada soon to study tourism and i hope i can apply for a flight attendant position, also in Vancouver, in the future!

Hello, thanks for watching! And that’s so exciting to hear. Best of luck to you. You got this! 😊
“What you think, you become” 😉😊💕
I love that quote! Miss you so much
Hi, thank you for sharing your story. Can you make a new video to show how to write resume ? Becoming a FA is my dream . I know no airline companies are hiring in this pandemic, but I wanna spend this hard time on improving myself to be ready until everything backs to normal :) ! Stay safe !!
Hello, thanks so much for watching. I will take that into consideration for my next video content. Thanks for the suggestion. Keep dreaming and working towards attaining that dream! Stay safe as well. :)
Hey Michelle. Great channel you have here. great info and insight into the Flight Attendant lifestyle.
I wanted to ask you a question. I have just bee sent a post offer for Swoop which I am very excited for. Was wondering if any of your training ended up being on the weekends? It states that you have to be available at any time for whatever training is sent your way. My guess is that Swoops training is based on the same as Westjet as they are a subsidiary of the airline.
appreciate your feedback. And thank you for sharing your journeys.
Hello, thanks for watching! If I remember correctly, we had the weekends off. Having said that, we had some weekends where we needed to go to the training campus for uniform fitting, etc. If I’m not mistaken, you’d be given days off, I’m not entirely sure if they still hit on the weekends. It might depend on how the training is scheduled these days. Hope that helps and best of luck! :)
@@MichelleAngela Thats awesome Michelle Thank you. Happy trails!
Hi! Love the video so helpful. I'm 20 years old and looking to start on my journey to becoming a flight attendant, I am also located near Vancouver! I'm looking at the tourism program at Vancouver Career Collage right now, it seems like a good fit because they offer practicums (thinking its good to get some hands on experience, and build my resume.) The program doesn't mention anything about working as a flight attendant for future careers though, just in general travel and tourism work. Im wondering if you know if that could cause a negative impact when then applying for positions? Or is it necessary to take one of the courses with "flight attendant in the description." Online is super unclear about what kind of schooling you need. haha. Thanks so much!!!
What level of first aid you have to take before training ? Emergency first aid ? Standard first aid? 1day or 2day course ? trying to figure out what ws needs before applying.
It's almost my story I got accepted with one of the biggest airline companies in the world but I didn't join because of the pandemic and I am on hold now but I am still positive I am trying to carry on my life and improve my skills till they call me again ❤❤ I felt how much sad you are and it's ok it happened to me too and I was so depressed in the beggining because I lost my job because they told me to resign I lost my appartment because I was about to travel but I have learnt too many things instead and I enjoyed staying with my family once again I am also working in an interesting field I would never think about it so we need to be positive and patient as long as we have goals and dreams we would definitely fulfilling them 😘😘😍 Best luck 💖💖
Hello, thanks for watching! That's the spirit! It's been a real tough time for the industry, indeed. Let's just take things one day at a time for now. I hope you're doing well and staying safe. Hopefully, one day we get back to doing what we love. Thanks so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. :)
After 33 years as a pediatric critical care nurse I am retiring in September and going to The Atlantic Flight Attendant college in Halifax for 12 weeks. I am ready to start my second career and my dream job. See you on the jump seat.
Hello, thanks for watching! I am glad to hear you're pursuing a dream of yours! It's never too late. Best of luck to you! :)
this video is literally everything wow tysm 😌 being a FA is my dream job ever since i was little. could i just get some advice? i have a diploma for travel and tourism already and i know there is a flight attendant school there in yvr. would it be necessary to take that diploma as well? sorry just been in a really tough spot lately :(
Hello, thank you so much for watching. Please don't feel sorry, I'm glad to answer your question if that helps you in any way. I personally think you do not need to take another Travel/Tourism program. Most airlines, in fact, accept a high school diploma. Having said that, it would be beneficial (because they would consider the candidates who hold a post-secondary diploma/degree more than the ones who don't. To put it simply, more work + education experience = better chances of getting the position) if you also hold a post-secondary diploma/degree, specifically related to the Tourism and/or Aviation industry, which you already do. If I can leave you one piece of advice, that is to gain some work experience, specifically in the customer service industry or something related to travel/aviation. I personally think my resume stood out because on top of my education experience (i.e. having a college diploma and a university degree), I also had about 8 years of customer service work experience, which I think was really the key (more than the education diploma/degree that I hold). I hope that helps. Best of luck!
I really appreciate your video. It was really helpful to me. Is there any physical test in westjet? Like squat
Hi, thanks for watching! When I applied for the position, we had to do a physical test which involves some lifting, reach, pull, push, etc. I can no longer remember every detail of the test but yes, there’s a physical test you must do and pass before you go for initial training. Hope that helps! Best of luck! :)
Hi ate michelle! Watching this video inspired me again to pursue this childhood dream of mine. I’m currently enrolled at University of Ottawa with an undergraduate degree of International Development and Globalization. I’m planning to switch in communication or political science but I’m still unsure what program is really for me. Deep inside I know I just want to pursue my happiness, the excitement of studying tourism. But... there is a lot of but’s and what if’s. Bachelor in tourism is mostly not available at universities and it’s only available at colleges. But it’s also a dream of mine to have a diploma in university. At the same time I’m not really sure if it’s worth to study tourism in this time of lockdowns and pandemic. Huhuhu I’m so confuse right now.
Hello, thanks for watching! I'm glad to hear my video inspired you. I guess my only advice for you is to weigh your priorities in life, not just for the present time, but also taking into consideration your future. I know it sucks that we can't have everything. I struggled with this dilemma too, hence I had to (also) list down the pros and cons. Try to ask yourself these questions: 1) What matters to you most (happiness? money? status? lifestyle? staying practical? image and what other people might think about you?), 2) Do I see myself living a life where things are always just "safe and comfortable" (work-wise, money-wise, what people think, etc) or do I see myself living the life I truly want (happiness-wise) even though it might not always be a walk in the park? 3) Do I care about peer pressure and what other people think about me when I pursue something or not?... it won't be that easy, and it's only you who can truly answer your own question. In my personal experience, as I've matured and gotten older, I care less about what people think. I still try to balance my happiness and reality as much as I can, but every time I make a decision, I always make sure my happiness comes first on that list. I go for what I want; for what sets my soul on fire. Because I've come to realize that we only live once, and when the time comes that I have to leave this world, I do not want to be regretting the things (that make me happy) that I did not do just because I was scared. Also, I really hate the feeling of doing something (e.g. work) and be miserable everyday because I do not enjoy or I'm not happy about it. I'd rather be making an "okay" (enough for a normal life) amount of money but happy than be making a lot but miserable. I don't want to be wasting my time, effort, and money on something that I know I'll be miserable in the long run. Again, this is just my personality and opinion. Also, never be scared to make mistakes. I've learned that mistakes are just part of life, and that's exactly how we learn and grow as individuals. Somehow, whatever path you choose in life, you will still end up somewhere, learning, growing, and adjusting to that chapter of you life. And you will find a way to make it work. You will always find a way. That's the beauty of life. :)
Hi, just found your channel and am enjoying your vlogs so much! I am from Vancouver and just did an online interview for Vancouver base. Just wondering if Westjet fly you home during your training on the weekend if you wish to go. Thank you 🙏
Hi, thanks for watching! :) Unfortunately, no. If your benefits kick in, you can fly standby for a reduced price. But you’ll have to pay for it yourself. Also, I personally would not recommend going home during training as these weeks are stressful and the training is intense, you will need the weekend to study and the weekends are your only time for break, going home might put more stress, just my opinion. Best of luck!
@@MichelleAngela thanks Michelle for the insight! Will be waiting for yiur next layover vlog xx
Hey Vian, I have a question. How did you get ready for the exam? I'm about to start my 5-week training, and I'm wondering about your study strategy. How many questions are on the exam, and which areas do you suggest focusing on to remember everything? I'm pretty scared and nervous, so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, thanks for watching! I honestly can’t remember much about the exams (i.e. how many there were). When I did my initial training, they were way stricter than they are now I think. If I remember correctly, my strategy at retaining and learning was reading the manual word for word and understanding them. When I understood what I was reading, I didn’t really need to memorize a lot except for those that actually needed memorizing. It made everything so much easier for me. Best of luck. You got this!
Hello! I was inspired by your journey!
Question, do WestJet or the other Canadian airline just check alcohol and drug test and not the other medical exam like blood test and x-rays? Thank you! :)
Hello, thanks for watching! I cannot speak for all other airlines, but based on my experience, we did not have to do other medical tests, except for the drug and alcohol, First aid, and physical tests. I hope that helps. Best of luck! :)
Hi Michelle, I'm from Toronto and just accepted the offer to be a flight attendant on Air Canada.
I will start my training here in Toronto on August 31st.
Hello! Thanks for watching! Wow congrats! You got this. Good luck!! ✨
@@MichelleAngela Thanks a lot for all your support and I wish to see you soon 😘😘
Goood luck Jose 🙏🏾🤞🏾
Hello, can you tell me what they asked you in the interview?
@@siseliafayia2826 Hi, thanks for watching! It’s been a long time already, I don’t remember the questions anymore, unfortunately.
Hi Michelle can you advice on what to pack for training please ? Hoping to meet you one day 😊
Hi, thanks for watching! Hmm that’s a good question. It’s been a while since my initial training. If I remember, I packed the essentials (clothes, toiletries, makeup). I did pack my own supplies for class (notebooks, highlighters, pens etc). You don’t need to worry about groceries as you’re able to order them and get them delivered to your room (the front desk will explain it more when you get there). Maybe pack some sort of a lunch kit for you to put your lunch in.. (of course a lunch container too) I’d say even a reusable bag (similar to that of a lululemon shopping bag) will do. If you plan to do grocery shopping in person, pack a few bigger reusable grocery shopping bags just in case. You’d have to provide for your own laundry detergent, so it’s up to you if you want to purchase it there or pack some detergent pods from home. I think that’s pretty much all I can remember. Best of luck!
Do u plan on changing company if theres an opportunity in the future ? Flagcarrier or international ? Did the listing u applied for back then had exact words like “in vancouver base” or just vancouver ( which means they could potentially give you different base in the end ). Their listing ryt now just says “city:vancouver” , and the one for yyz is the same but with words like “ We are proactively hiring candidates for anticipated vacancies.”
Thank you:)
Hi, thanks for watching. I cannot see what the future holds, but I can say that I’m happy with the company I work for right now and where I am at my job so that idea doesn’t even cross my mind. :) Depending on the airline you wanna work for, they might have different rules regarding base transfers and what not. But, usually if the job posting specifically tells you which city they’d be needing the FA position, that’s pretty much where your base is going to be. When I applied for the position, they had three different base postings: Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver. I specifically applied for the Vancouver one, and so Vancouver became my base, and it will remain my base until the company offers base transfers and I choose to switch to a different base (or if,for whatever reason, my base closes, then of course I might have to be relocated to another base, but this is unlikely). Hope that helps!
Hello :) So since flight attendants usually have to stay away from home for days at a time, do they give you enough time to sleep at the end of your last flight for the day so you are prepared for the next day? Or are the layovers generally very short and you have to sleep on the plane ? (Also does WestJet pay for employee accommodation if they have to stay at a hotel overnight?)
Hello, thanks for watching. Yes, flight attendants are usually given a set number of hours to work and once it’s maxed out for the day, FAs must first go through a certain number of hours of rest period for them to be able to declare “fit to fly”. Usually layovers are close to 24 hours minus the time FAs need to prep and be ready to fly. So let’s say about 20 hours of free time. It will depend on where the layover is. Every airline is different. The company pays for the accommodation during layovers and will also provide for a meal allowance. Hope the above helps.
Thanks, that helps ! Is there any maximum age to apply? I’m 28 and have never worked in aviation before so I’m not sure if I’m too old.
@@user-tn2dp1dl2m No, you’re not too old. Don’t worry, I’ve had colleagues from training who were in their mid 50s. :)
Hello! I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I might as well try my luck. I have over 6 years of experience in the customer service industry but I’ve only ever worked in one place before and I don’t currently have a degree/diploma other than my high school diploma so would my application still be considered? I’m also short (5’ft) so how likely is it for someone like me to get hired for a Canadian Airline? Nice video btw💕
Hello, thanks for watching! Most airlines accept high school diploma (just double check on the list of requirements on the job posting just to be sure). Because you have 6 years worth of customer service experience, that will put your resume to advantage. I used to have about 8 years of customer service experience before getting the FA position and I had also only worked at one job, so it doesn’t really matter. So long as you have the experience, you’ll have a better shot at it. Height won’t really matter if the airline’s requirement is to do the reach test instead. So long as you’re able to reach that certain height, you’re good to go. The height to reach will depend on each airline, so I cannot really give you a specific number. Sorry about that. I hope the above info helps. Best of luck! :)
Thanks for the video! Can you tell if you met some co-workers in your airline that have only a PR-card and a foreign passport?
Hello, thanks for watching. That’s a good question. I personally have not asked my peers that when I fly with them. It just never occurred to me. But I’ve heard of some folks who did not hold a Canadian passport at the time, and still were able to become an FA. In Canada however, if you are not a Canadian citizen, I believe you must be a permanent resident with a PR card plus you must be able to obtain all visa requirements of all the destinations your airline flies to, so that you’re able to operate on all those flights. Hope that helps. Best of luck!
@@MichelleAngela That‘s nice, thank you! Today I also read in the requirements of several Canadian airlines that Westjet and Jazz are the only airlines accepting the combination international passport + PR card :)
Hi! I have a quick question, do I need to go into post-secondary? I finished high school and plan to work in customer service for the next while because I know that's important. But I just don't have the money to go to school. Also, I don't know French right now (I'm Canadian) but I can learn it. How many languages do you know? I'm a bit nervous since I only know 1 language fluently but I'll work on this.
Hello, thanks for watching! To answer your questions: most airlines accept high school graduate. It depends on the airline. Having said that though, I believe having a post-secondary diploma or degree, especially related to the job (i.e. Tourism, Travel, Aviation, Business, etc) will potentially give you an advantage. And you’re right, gaining work experience is actually really good. It’ll set you up for a better chance of success in the future. With regards to a second language, again this will depend on the airline whether or not they’re looking for a bilingual cabin crew member, in which case, yes you do need a second language. But not just any language. It has to be one of the languages listed on their job requirements. In my case, I was fortunate enough that the Filipino language, “Tagalog” was included on that list, and because I speak the language fluently, I was qualified. Some airlines do not require a second language, so I suggest maybe looking into those airlines first as a start. Wearing eyeglasses is totally fine (for most North American airlines. An Asian airline is another story). I do have a pretty poor eyesight and I need my glasses all the time (or contact lenses). So it’s totally fine! I hope the above helps. Best of luck!
I am currently in the FSO program at Seneca College in Ontario, just wondering what Immigration Pathway did you use? and what NOC code is used for the airline industry jobs? Thanks
I actually came to Canada when I was much younger, so it was my parents who did all the work. I’m not sure about the immigration pathway, sorry about that.
How long is the typical layover between flights? Do you get to travel a lot? Also do you know if your company is hiring soon? I keep checking their website but it shows nothing for flight attendants currently. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching! It really depends, we have a minimum crew rest layovers (which could mean just a 12-hour rest) or a longer layover that could sometimes go for 48 hours. I haven’t checked the company’s website recently but we’ve had some new hires recently, so I’m guessing they keep hiring people. Do keep checking. Best of luck!
This video is so inspiring
Hello, thank you for watching the video. :) As far as I know, Canadian Airlines don't specify a minimum height requirement for you to be able to apply. Having said that, when I did move forward with the hiring process, I had to do a physical test, which required a lot of lifting. The test also required for me to reach onto a certain height on a wall. If I recall correctly, I was not allowed to wear shoes, but they told me I could "tip-toe" if I needed to. I'm probably around 5'3 1/2" I would say, and when I did the reach test, I did not have to tip-toe, and I passed. That's the only "height requirement" in that regard in the airline I applied for. And I had to do the physical test after the in-person interview and I was already offered the training date. I wouldn't specifically recommend a flight attendant training school because most of the time, Canadian Airlines don't require for you to hold a certain diploma or degree. Most airlines only require a high school diploma. My Travel, Tourism, and Flight Attendant Diploma plus my Tourism Management University Degree, along with my customer service experience, were an advantage though because I had the education and most importantly the customer service experience. If you already had the Tourism education, that would be a great asset to your resume. But if I were to suggest, I'd say maybe focus on gaining a lot of experience in the customer service industry. When I applied for the job, I already had 8 years of customer service experience and that really caught their attention, in addition to my education. Airlines will normally require a certain number of years of customer service experience. :) I hope the above helps. By the way, I love hearing a Trini accent. So great you mentioned that! :)
@@MichelleAngela okay noted, thank you so muchh for all the info, I do want to further my education in Tourism just like you did, but after I finish my degree in business management😊 and omg! Thank youu re the Trini accent❤
@@Samsara-tx2iy Yes, that would be great too. I love going to school and I love learning. Not sure where you want to study in Canada, but I took my degree in one of the universities here in Vancouver, BC -- at Capilano University. :) Good luck and just keep pushing!
Hi Michelle, I’m starting my school as a Flight attendant this January!! (yayyy!!!) I currently live in Canada but I was born in the Philippines☺️.. The only thing that worries me is my height, i know you’ve mentioned about the height but i can’t help it since i’m only 5’0 FLAT. It scares me so much because i’m not sure if any of the airlines will accept me!! Any advice?
Hey I just want to know what school youre going to? Because Im starting this January too! and we have thesame concern about height😅
@@nyzecretecio73 Hi!! I’m going to be attending online school through Canadian Tourism College ☺️
aunjanue reyes Hello, thanks so much for watching. Congrats and good luck to you! With regards to your question, I believe “height” isn’t that big of a deal. Having said that though, you must pass the “reach test” that they call. Being taller will give you an advantage because you’ll be reaching the required “height” without problem. In my case (it could be different for every Canadian airline), I was asked to remove my shoes and do the reach test bare-foot (they allow tip-toeing). I’m 5’3 and if my memory serves me right, I was able to reach that certain “height” (I’m sorry I forgot the exact measure in number) without needing to tip-toe (like I just made the cut without tip-toeing, and if I needed to, I was allowed to tip-toe anyway). Also keep in mind, every airline will be different because of their fleet. Some airlines operate on bigger aircraft, which means the overhead bin will be much higher, so I’m guessing their reach test will involve reaching a higher height measure. I know some FA peers who are a bit shorter than I am, and they were able to pass the reach test. My suggestion is for you to apply to airlines who operate on smaller aircraft first (e.g. low-cost carrier airlines perhaps) and just work your way up. I hope the above helps. :)
@@MichelleAngela Sounds great! Thanks so much and we greatly appreciate how much effort you put in to help us out in the comments. What you say to us viewers are well thought of. Again, Thanks!❤️❤️
U have to be tall? Well I’m already tall but like um
Is it possible to locate to a different base when hired ?
& also do they provide assistance (housing)
if you get sent to a different location for a Training??
Thank you ! & congrats to your accomplishment ❤️
Hi thanks for watching. If you’re hired for a specific base, you’ll remain on that base until perhaps the company opens up the opportunity to transfer to a base. Depending on where the campus is for iniital training, the company may put you up on a hotel for the duration of training (if the campus is outside your base, that’s what they did to us, anyway). Hope that helps. Best of luck! :)
Thank you for sharing your story and you became an inspiration to me ate Michelle, I would love to ask what is the name of the school where you pursue 10 months of travel tourism and flight attendant program? I am about to move to Canada and I like to continue my schooling in the same school where you got your diploma. Thank you :)
Hello, thank you for watching. I honestly do not recommend that school because 1) it’s expensive and a waste of money, 2) you do not necessarily need it. If you want to pursue your studies, I suggest going straight to a bigger school or university that offers more opportunities. Had I known, I would not have gone to the private college I went to but instead have just gone straight to university and start my Tourism management program there. That way, you have more options in the future as a “back up plan” because you graduated from a reputable college/university. I hope that helps. Good luck! :)
Thank you for that ate ☺️
Hi! I was wondering about how the work schedule for WestJet flight attendants works since I’m looking to apply... How many days in a row do you usually have to be away from home? Do you get a normal two days off in a row after you come back home? Thank you in advance !
Hello, thanks for watching! There’s not really a set schedule for us FAs. You’re given a certain number of hours per month that you have to work and those hours will depend on how you want your schedule to look like based on what you bid for (bidding and getting what you want are not guaranteed though). So for example you wish to have your weekends off, you can bid for that. You can also bid for the number of pairing days you would want to work. So for example, if you want to work three days straight, you’d bid for a three-day pairing. I believe you can also bid for your “least choices”, say if you don’t want five-day pairings, you are able to avoid that by bidding. Bidding happens every month, which means your schedule per month is always different. Once you completed your “hours” for the month, the rest will be your days off or if you’re still allowed, you can pick up more flights up to a certain number of hours. I had months where I worked three different shorter pairings in a week, had a week’s worth of days off then back to work again. Since there’s no guarantee, you pretty much have to be open to working any time of the day. I hope that helps. Good luck! :)
@@MichelleAngela that is so helpful, thank you so much! So for example, if I wanted to bid for a 5 days on and then 3-5 days off would they be more flexible with that type of thing?
@@78elysia78 Hi, it really depends because although you’re able to bid, there’s more to it than that. The computer system, I believe, will have to consider the number of times you’ve bid for that schedule. I don’t know exactly how it works but if I’m not mistaken, the system will try to balance out everything for everyone to at least get what they want at some point. This is to be fair for everyone, so for example if you bid weekends off every month, I doubt you’ll be getting those every month because again, the system will also try to be fair to others. That’s why I guess it’s important that you’re able to accept the fact that you’ll be available to work any day and any time of the week (i.e. no birthdays off, no Christmas, no Thanksgiving or any holiday).
You look so cute. I love your smile :) I wonder, do they pay for training and travelling to the in person interview? What are the benefits Westjet flight attendants receive and how is the pay as a fresher?
Hello, thanks for watching. I do not think the airline pays for travelling to the interview. However, they pay for the initial training if they have to send you to another place for training that is not your "base". So for example, I had to do my initial training in Calgary when I was hired for a Vancouver base FA. That meant, my company had to pay for transportation and accommodation while I was on training in YYC. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
@@MichelleAngela thank you, Michelle, that’s very nice of you :)
Hey! I have a question, if im Mexican but im planning to go to Toronto with my aunt that has the residence and wants to sponsor me, what should I do. In AirCanada for example, you need to have a legal Canada passport, can i work with them with a Mexican passport?
Hi, thanks for watching. I’m not sure what the requirements are with Air Canada. If I’m not mistaken though, most Canadian Airlines require for you to be a PR or a Canadian citizen. If you’re a PR however, you must also obtain visas from all the destinations the airline flies to for you to be able to operate on those flights. Best of luck!
Hey Michelle! Thank you so much for this video! I have a question, how old were you when you applied for this position? Is there an age requirement? ❤️
Hello, thanks for watching. I don't think age is a big deal for most North American Airlines. When I applied for the position, there wasn't an age restriction, other than you must be at least 18 years old, if I'm not mistaken. Do check the job postings, because each airline has their own set rules. When I very first applied for the position in 2018, I was 25 years old. But when I actually got the position, I was already 26 turning 27. I have peers from initial training who were in their 50s, so age really doesn't matter, I guess. :)
is the training already paid or do you have to pay for it yourself? What should we expect on the exams ?
Hello, thank you for watching! Training is usually paid for by the company (the calculations of hours being paid will depend on every company). From my experience, they paid us based on those calculated hours and they provided for our accommodation for the whole duration of our training. With regards to exams, all I can say is to really study and be prepared for them. Memorization is one key, but I also found that reading and understanding the course concepts really helped me get good marks. Hope the above helps. Good luck!
Hello!
Is toeic needed ?
hi there! I have a question about what course did you take and you recommend me to take on high school? because becoming a FA is my dream that I can say I just started( now im grade 11) so I wonder if there any course that I should take on my grade 12 to required me to be in the program on secondary school? Thankyou!
Hello, thanks for watching. High School courses do not really matter, so long as you finish your secondary school. Take whatever interests you so you get to enjoy school. :)
This video is a little old and you seem to not be uploading to this channel anymore but i really hope you see this.
Do canadian airflight companies have tattoo restrictions? Height standards? Can a international just graduated from college get hired to a airflight company or do you have to be at least a PR holder? Do you recommend the college you attended, if yes where is it? Do you know if said college program is eligible for a post graduation work permit?
Thank you so much, is really inspiring to find a international flight attendant in Canada as i want to be one in the future
Hello, thanks for watching. Every Canadian Airline is different. With regards to tattoos, most airlines allow them so long as you’re able to cover them up with clothing/uniform or makeup, if I’m not mistaken. Height standards vary. With my own experience, they do not look at your height, but you’d have to do a “reach test” and the height will depend I guess on the aircraft type you’ll be trained on (i.e. the bigger the aircraft, the higher the reach test will be because of the higher overhead bin). Most, if not all, Canadian airlines require for the candidates to at least be a permanent resident (or a Canadian citizen). When I applied for the position, I already hold a Canadian passport. I personally do not recommend the college that I attended because some airlines do not even require a college diploma (just high school diploma is okay). The college program I took did not offer post graduation permit. Having said that, it would be a benefit if you hold a post-secondary diploma/degree. They also give a higher consideration to those who also have an extensive years of customer service experience. I hope the above helps. And good luck! :)
Hey love! I just finished my flight services at seneca college but I’m not fluent in French, however I’m practicing and doing French classes. Can I be a flight attendant with little to no French ?
Hello, thanks for watching. Depending on the airline you’d like to work for, some do not actually require for you to speak French. Some job postings look for FAs without another second language. Some require for one to be at least bilingual. They would usually list down languages (when they post job posting) that they are considering. So if you are able to speak one of those languages plus English, you’re eligible to apply for the position. Hope that helps!
@@MichelleAngela thank you so much! English is my first language and I’m now starting to learn French. I was a bit scared that I wouldn’t be able to get a job without a second language.
Do they accept Canadian Permanent Residents or do I need a valid Canadian passport to apply?
Hello ate! I’m coming to Canada next year and will be taking diploma in nursing. I just wanna ask if ever I’m done with my studies, Am I eligible to apply for flight attendant? Thank you!
Hello, thank you for watching the vlog! As far as I know, there is no specific program you have to take in post-secondary to be eligible to apply for the position. Most airline companies only require a high school diploma. Having said that, of course they will give higher consideration to those who went to college/university, especially the ones who took up a program that's related to the job (e.g. Tourism management, Flight attendant program, Travel and Tourism, Business in tourism, Aviation, etc.). But to keep it short, the answer is yes. You can definitely apply even if you had a diploma in nursing. Hope the above helps. Good luck! :)

Do you know what would I need to apply to a Canadian citizenship? You seem so kind and warm! Thank you for the video💞
Hello, thanks for watching. There are a lot of information regarding this, but for accurate information and requirements, I suggest visiting the official website of the government of Canada. I hope that helps. :) Here's the link to the website on how to apply for citizenship: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility.html
@@MichelleAngela thank you very much 💖
I live in the Caribbean and i want to become a flight attendant do you think i can send my resume to Air Canada even though i live in the Caribbean?
Hello, thanks for watching. I am not entirely sure what their requirement are. You can check first for job openings on their website and see if they are looking to hiring more cabin crew members. They would usually list down requirements on that job opening (if there is one) and you’ll see if they require a Canadian passport or someone who is at least a permanent resident of Canada. I hope that helps. Best of luck! :)
@@MichelleAngela thx alot
Hello Ms. Michelle! Do they accept applicants without customer service experience?
Hi, thanks for watching! Normally, when an airline is hiring for candidates, they’d list down a group requirements for the specific job position. Most of these requirements require some sort of customer service experience. Sometimes, it may not be a requirement but more like an asset. So in the long-run, customer service experience does matter. Hope that helps. Best of luck!
Hi Michelle! Can I ask how long did it take for WestJet to get back to you to take your language test after the initial interview? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching! I honestly do not remember anymore. Probably at least a week, if I’m not mistaken.
@@MichelleAngela thank you for replying!
can u pls tell acurate height to be a flight attendant...and also if it was necessary to have no scar on the face ?!
Hello, thanks for watching. I am unable to tell the accurate height, unfortunately, as every airline has its own requirements. This will also depend on the types of aircraft the airline has. Having bigger aircraft means the overhead bins are much higher, hence they might require a higher reach test of height. Same goes for scars. There are a lot of Asian airlines in particular that have higher physical standards. Most North American airlines however are much more lenient when it comes to this. I do highly suggest looking into the job requirements that are posted by each airline so you'll have a better idea on what's allowed and not. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
Did u have a roommate in the hotel when u were training? Are there any shops nearby to get food or is it faraway?
Hi, thanks for watching. No, we did not. We got our own room. I think for privacy reasons, it’s best that each one gets an own room. I’m sure a lot of people also wouldn’t want to share a room with someone, especially with a stranger. When we did our training, we had to uber to get to the nearest grocery store, but the hotel also has this thing where we were able to order through them by making a grocery list. The hotel then sends someone to do all the grocery shopping, and by the end of the day, we all had our grocery items delivered in our room. :)
What are the places that you usually stay more and are able to visit the city of the layover?
Hello, thanks for watching. It really depends. You can bid for layovers that are listed on your system. However, in my experience, since I live in Vancouver which is the western part of Canada, the layover choices that I get are usually closer to my base (e.g. California, Hawaii, etc.). It also, I guess, depends on how the pairing flights are designed. So for example, I was able to have a layover in New York (east coast) because the pairing flights started from Vancouver then to Toronto and from Toronto, we flew to New York.
@@MichelleAngela oh ok, thank you for replying! You work for WestJet right? If that's the company do you also go to other countries or just North America?
@@annapalato4703 Hi, I personally haven’t operated and flown outside North America. It depends on which aircraft you are qualified to fly. But our airline flies across Canada, to US, Europe, Caribbean and Central America, and Mexico.
@@MichelleAngela what is the airline that you work for? Also do you have Instagram?
Hi…did you studied in eton collage vancover..?
hi ate (if i'm allowed to call you ate). i started secondary school without thinking much of what i really want to be when i grow up ('cause i can't decide). and now i think i really want to become a flight attendant. i'm wondering what courses should i take in high school? and in college?
Hello Francesca, thanks for watching my vlog! As far as I know, you do not need to take a specific course in HS nor do you need to take up a specific program in college/university. However, I do believe the airlines take higher consideration to those who have years of experience in customer service, backing up with a certain level of education. Some of my FA friends graduated with a diploma/degree in the healthcare industry, yet they were still able to apply because they backed it up with impressive customer service experience. It will have to be a balance of work and education experience. I suggest as early as now, if you're able to, get a customer service job so you can gain those experience while still in HS. By the time I applied for the position, I already had about 8 years of customer service experience, so that really caught their attention. Having a diploma/degree in a related field, such as Tourism, Aviation, Business perhaps, will be an asset in the longer run too. I took up a diploma in Travel, Tourism, and Flight Attendant but decided to proceed with a degree in Tourism Management, because I also plan to work in the corporate/business side (the more intricate work) of the Tourism industry maybe in the future. Otherwise, I would have just applied straight out of high school, as most airlines only require a high school graduate, if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully the above helps. Good luck to you! :)
Michelle Angela i've been struggling with choosing my career path so this helps me a lot. thank you so much
is it need to study again and get a Bachelor even if you have a bachelor or you are graduated from your previous country ? thankyouu
Hi, thanks for watching. I’m not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you meant going back to school, getting a degree in Tourism or something similar in order to get a flight attendant position...then the answer is no. You do not need to go back to school for it. Having said that, holding a degree related to aviation or tourism or business perhaps could well be of an advantage but most airlines also look at your year of work experience (especially in the customer service industry). I hope the above helps. Best of luck!
Hii Michelle, I have a little question. Can I become a flight attendant in Air Canada if I'm a foreigner? Actually, I'm 18y old, I live in Belgium, I can speak French, English and also Dutch fluently. The languages aren't a problem. Do I need a Visa for live in Canada and for become a flight attendant in Air Canada?
Hello, thanks for watching. If I’m not mistaken, a lot of the Canadian airlines are only hiring Canadian citizens or at least permanent residents of Canada. If you’re not a Canadian citizen, you’ll have to be living in Canada as a permanent resident, at least. Being a PR also means obtaining visas to all the destinations that require a visa that the airline operates to. Do also check each airline’s requirements, as they may vary. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
Hi Michelle, hope you are doing fine. What is the starting salary for CC in the airline you applied for?
Hello, thanks for watching! I'm sorry, I am unable to disclose this information with you. I hope you understand. Best of luck!
Hi Michelle, Thank you for doing this video you give inspiration and hope to alot of people. I have a question do they have an age limit? Because I worked in the middle east airline for 11 yrs. I am already 36, does age matter to the airline in Canada?
giposh Hello, thanks for watching! :) As far as I know, there is no age limit so long as you’re at least 18 years old if I’m not mistaken. And I’m honestly glad that’s the case. I feel like it’s a bit of a discrimination if there was an age limit. I had people from training who were young and in their early 20s and then there were also people who were in their mid 50s I believe. So it’s really diverse that way, which I like. Hope that helps. :)
Thank you Michelle! That's great! God Bless and safe flight always!
hi michelle ! my name is aleeza and i want to become a flight attendant , i just want to know , is it required to learn how to swim ? thanks let me know , as i want to pursue an FA journey;)
Hello, thanks for watching. To answer your question, every airline is different. Some, I believe, do require that you know how to swim. With the airline that I work for, it wasn't a requirement. Having said that, it would be beneficial to know the basic swimming skill. This will be to your advantage in case there was an emergency. I hope that helps and good luck! :)
hello.. I just want to tell you that your video is really helpful
I'm from Canada of course 😛
I still in high school but my dream is to become a flight attendant
But I don't if there's anything that can take before my high school graduation....
Can you please tell me what's courses I must take to college and high school to become a flight attendant
Or what I should be good at
Hello, thanks for watching! When it comes to education, there isn’t a specific program you must take to be eligible. Most airlines can accept a high school diploma. Having said that, they will obviously give higher priority to those who hold a diploma or degree that is related to the industry (like tourism, business perhaps, aviation, etc). Also, airlines don’t just look at the education, you must also have a good amount of years of customer service work experience. To summarize, Canadian citizenship/permanent residency + education experience + work experience will give you an advantage. It will depend on every airline. I suggest you look at the airline’s past job postings online to be able to get an idea. I hope the above helps! :)
Oh! I have another question. Does it matter than I wear glasses?
I wanna know too
@@annaparrilha Hi, thanks for watching. Sorry, I answered this question from Tae Tae’s other comment. No, it does not matter if you wear glasses or not. My eyesight is so bad, I wear glasses all the time. Having said that, it will depend on every airline, so do check their requirements just to make sure. Hope that helps!
I know this is going to be really awkward, but I'm happy to find a kpop stan (or bts stan) who might be a flight attendant in the future. I thought I was alone.
Do I have to be skinny lol 😗😂 I’m already skinny but I like eating and I gain weight fast so might be a problem 😬😂
Hello, thanks for watching! No dear, you do not have to be skinny. I think that’ll be a discrimination if they don’t consider people just because of their weight. That being said though, the job is very physical, plus during the hiring process, you’ll be going through a physical test and must pass that first before you’re allowed to go to the actual inflight training. :)
Hey i have a question
Do we need to speak french fluently
to get selected ?
And if im a medium or beginner level french speaker can i still apply ?
Also if my pervious application was rejected how much time should i wait to reapply for air canada
Hi, thanks for watching! I personally do not know the requirements of Air Canada, as I do not work for the company. If you see their job posting, they usually state whether or not they are looking for a bilingual or unilingual cabin crew member. If it was bilingual, they might list acceptable second languages. When I had my language test done, they asked me questions about topics regarding economy, housing, etc. If you think you are able to converse in these topics in French and do it fluently, even as a beginner, I think you are still able to apply with no problem. More than anything, the company is looking if you’re able to make a deep conversation in that second language. If you’re unable to do it fluently, they might not consider. But there is no harm in trying so I suggest give it another try, who knows you’ll get it this time. Best of luck!
Hi! Is it really required that you need to be Canadian citizen first?
Hello, thanks for watching! As far as I know, most Canadian Airlines require for you to be a Canadian Citizen or at least a Permanent Resident to meet the qualification.
I would like to know how is the opportunities for flight attendants that are getting old like they still have space
I’m 19 and I would like to start to planning to become a flight attendant but I would like to know if it will be opportunities when I got old too
Hello, thanks for watching. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the airlines in North America do not have age requirements (by that I mean of course they have a minimum age requirement, perhaps 18 or 19 years of age). I have a lot of peers from initial training who were in their 40s and 50s, so do not worry too much about your age. I got hired when I was 26 and it's all good. :)
@@MichelleAngela thank you so much
I do have little burn scars only arms after working in restaurant..... can it be a negative point for me
Hello, thanks for watching! To answer your question, it really depends on which airline you are planning to apply for. I know some airlines (perhaps Asian airlines) are picky on the physical looks of the candidate. Some Western airlines are not as picky. Based on my experience, they never looked at the scars, but they do ask if you have visible tattoos that you potentially will have to cover up because of the company's policy. It's best to check with the airline itself. I hope the above helps. Best of luck!
@@MichelleAngela thanks alot love❤
Hi! I'm currently a 3rd year tourism management student here in PH and I plan to move and apply as an FA in Canada after acquiring job experiences. I have read in the comments that you can only apply if you're a PR or a Canadian citizen. Are there a lot of job opportunities in Canada that I could easily apply for temporarily? And would the salary be enough paying for food, transpo, and rental expenses? ‘Cos I heard Canada has a high cost of living😅 Your response would be very much appreciated!
Hello, thanks for watching! With regards to job opportunities, yes there are a lot especially in the customer service industry. With regards to salary/wage, if you’re applying for these positions temporarily, depending on what kind of job, you might start getting paid minimum wage (this will all depend on the province you’ll be living in, the minimum wage there, also your work experience might have an impact on whether you’ll be paid a bit more than minimum wage). What some people do to survive is cutting down expenses like perhaps getting a room-mate so they get to share all the bills. They also consider the location. For one thing, I can tell you that here in Vancouver, housing (including renting etc) is VERY expensive. Just in case for future reference, you might want to really look into which province in Canada is better with regards to this. I hope that helps. Good luck! :)
Hello, are you working in WestJet or WestJet encore? How was the training?
Mainline. :) Training was really intense, but fun!
@@MichelleAngela Cool! I am currently an intern at WestJet YYZ, hoping to be a successful FA like you ✈️✈️ Btw, saw you on WestJet IG post, you looked incredible 😊
Well done. I hope you are re-hired. You are a great asset for the company.
Hello, thanks for watching! And wow thank you for the kind words. I’m glad to say that I’ve been back flying for about a year now. Thank you! ☺️
Hello! I know that companies give more opportunities to those who went to university/college. I was just wondering, if I only have a diploma, would that still give me a better chance of being a flight attendant? Or do I have to have a degree to have that better chance?
Hello, thanks for watching! Most airlines actually only require a high school diploma. I suggest just double checking it with the company. Having said that though, you are right, a higher chance will be given to those who possibly hold a degree. But not only that. They also carefully look at your work experience, and quite frankly, I think having an extensive amount of years of customer service experience, will really catch their attention. That’s my opinion and based on what I’ve experienced. Hope the above helps! :)
Michelle Angela Thank you for replying! May I ask I saw in the comments that you can’t really remember how high the reach test is. But when you were doing it, did you need to like lift you your feet? Like you’re using a heel?
@@hannahcamorongan1583 As far as I can remember, I did not need to “tip-toe” when I had to do the reach test. I guess it makes sense because the aircraft that I am qualified to operate is the B737s, which is not too big but not too small either. I would assume a higher reach test height if the aircraft is bigger. But again, every airline is different.
Hi ate! is it possible for a Filipino citizen who graduated tourism and worked as a flight attendant for 2 years to move to canada and work as a flight attendant too??
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes of course, if you meet all the requirements and have the education and experience, you’d be of an advantage. However, most Canadian airlines require for you to be a Canadian Citizen or at least a permanent resident of Canada for you to become an FA here. Hope that helps. Best of luck! :)
Hi Michelle, Im in my first year of university and I decided that I want to become a flight attendant. which flight attendant school did you attend? I live in bc.
Thanks your video was very inspiring 💕
Hello thanks for watching! :) I actually honestly do not recommend going to a flight attendant school because airlines provide their own training when you get hired and each airline will have their own way of training and that’s the most important thing you’d need to know, and not so much the ones taught by colleges. I suggest just going for your choice of program entering college/uni like tourism, business, aviation-related. And make sure you have plenty years of customer service experience as that’s an important asset when airlines try to find candidates. I hope that helps. Best of luck! :)
@@MichelleAngela thank you! ❤
Can you please suggest institutions in canada where aviation courses are available like airport management.. Travel and tourism... And it's fee structure
Hello, thank you for watching! To be honest, I have not done a lot of research about schools that offer Travel and Tourism. I only know the one I went to. I graduated with at Tourism Management Degree at Capilano University here in Vancouver, Canada. All the tuition fees will depend on your situation specifically (i.e. are you an international student? are you applying for diploma or degree? etc.). It's best to go straight to the school's website because they can best cater to your situation and will be able to lay out the fees specifically to your unique situation. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
This inspired me to work harder on my dream of becoming an FA :) Sana po ma mentor nyo po ako after my Tourism Management course 😁😁. Godbless po always :)

My daughter would like to be a flight attendant too, she wants to graduate high school in Canada. Thank you and you are so pretty.
Hello, thanks for watching and for your kind words. :) I honestly think going to college was not that much of a help for me because I could have gone to university from the very start. But I got my BTM at a university here in Vancouver BC. The name of the school is Capilano University.
Me too I want to became a flight attendant can you help me to do video like where I have to study university or college for a fly attendant
Hello, thanks for watching. I’ll try to do an updated vlog about it maybe in the future. But thank you for the idea. Will definitely put that into consideration. :)
Hi!
I was curiousabout the salary paid in canada. It isnt an idol way to ask but i will try my best to keep it in a proper way..but is it enough for a normal life style un canada?
shruti pandey Hi, thanks for watching. I think it really depends on a lot of factors. For example, newly-hired FAs will not be making as much as the senior ones. Also, it depends on your block/flying hours. If you did not fly as much, you will not be paid as much. Another thing will be the location. For example, if you are living in Vancouver or Toronto, it will probably be harder compared to other cities or provinces across the country. FAs are not making as much as say people from the healthcare industry..well, not right away. You have to work hard to get there, with years of experience of course. So, just like any job, you have to also balance out your expenses and savings. Everyone’s situation is really different. Some FAs have double jobs, others do not need a second job. Hope the above helps. :)
@@MichelleAngela thank you so much..your vedios help me so much and thankyou for taking out so much time for this single soul.💜
Hii atee! so im planning to an flight attendant and i struggle in speaking in English😥any suggestion
Hello, thank you for watching. My only advice for you is to read a lot of books written in English language. Growing up, I was struggling with the English language myself, but my dad told to me read. Read a lot. Read out loud to practice your pronunciation. This trick helped me a lot. I hope it does with you too. Best of luck! :)
Do you really need to have experience before applying internationally?
Hi thanks for watching. It would be of an advantage for sure if you have experience. :)
Hello! I am an American citizen but I want to apply for Air Canada. I’m 18 years old do I have to apply to get a visa to work there before I apply or just wait if I get hired to get a work visa.
Hi, thanks for watching! If I’m not mistaken, most Canadian Airlines hire permanent residents or Canadian citizens for their cabin crew position. If you are a PR, you’ll need to obtain visas from countries the airline flies to, so you’re able to operate on those flights. It will be best to double-check with the company you’d wanna work for just to make sure, as everyone’s situation is different. :)
Hi I use glasses in my eyes nd I have a little high power in my eyes is their will be any problem ? if I wanted to become a cabin crew of an air canada nd can u plz tell me is that necessary to speak French ? caz idk French 😐
Hi thanks for watching! If I’m not mistaken, most North American airlines don’t pay too much attention to glasses, unlike Asian airlines. I have a very high prescription as well and wear glasses all the time, and it’s all good. Having 20/20 vision wasn’t a requirement when I applied, so if it’s not written in the job description, you should be fine. With regards to the French language, it really depends on the airline and what their job posting is saying. If they require a bilingual FA, they should be able to list down what other languages (on top of English) they are looking for.
Hey ! I'm student of 10th grade I'm citizen of Canada but due to some personal reasons I'm living in India with my dad's fam now after completing my 10th im coming back to my country and i desperately wanna become a flight attendant so pls guide me about what to do and how to do when i will be there after my 10th :)
Hi, thanks for watching. It really depends on a lot of factors. But to give you a general advice, most Canadian airlines give a higher consideration to those who have extensive years of customer service work experience. You do not necessarily have to have a degree because some airlines accept a High school diploma. Having said that, it would be a great asset if you have a post secondary diploma/degree that’s related to the job (i.e. Tourism, Aviation, Business perhaps, etc.). Please also note that some airlines do require a second language. The airline would usually list down which other languages (other than English) one must speak for one to be able to qualify for a bilingual cabin crew position. I hope the above helps. Good luck to you!

Hi is there any height requirement for flight attendant in air canada and what is it?
Hello thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your question. Every airline is different. Some don’t even look at height alone. If I’m not mistaken, in North America, “reach test” is the more popular way of determining whether or not you are eligible. And again, every airline is different with regards to the height for the reach test.
which airline do you work for? I speak Russian so I ask
Sis i am coming
Hello, nice video..we feel your passion through our phones.
I have a question please: what's the minmum height to work in air Canada? I'm 1.58m can i apply for it?
Thank you and good luck
Hello, thank you so much for watching! :) As far as I know, there is no "height limit" per se. That being said, when you do apply, you'll go over some sort of a "physical test" and I believe most airlines will include a "reach test" in which you'll have to be able to reach a certain height, barefoot, to pass the test. I am not sure if this is the same with Air Canada, but I assume it's similar across the board for all Canadian Airlines. I hope that helps. :)
Can u tell us what was ur reach test I mean was it 212
Before you take off Hi, I actually do not remember how high the reach test was, I’m sorry. I’m sure it wasn’t that high. I guess it will also depend on the aircraft type you’ll be operating. If it’s a bigger fleet, you’ll probably have to do a higher reach test.
Hey! It has been a dream of mine to become a flight attendant. Like you, I live in Canada and I tried to research the height requirement for being a flight attendant in Canada. Can I still be a Flight Attendant if I’m only 4’11?
Hi, thanks for watching. Every airline has its own requirements. I can’t really speak for the whole Canadian airlines in that regard. However, with my personal experience, I wasn’t asked about my height. Instead, I had to go through a physical test that they require and one of the things I had to do was the “reach test”. I forgot about the actual height I needed to reach, sorry about that. With the reach test though, I had to remove my shoes but was allowed to tip-toe if needed be. I would also think that the height for the reach test would vary per airline, as each airline has its own different fleet. So if the airline you’d want to work for has bigger fleet, I would assume the reach test would be higher, as they would have to match the height of the aircraft’s overhead bin. If I were to give a suggestion, maybe try applying for airlines that operate on smaller aircraft first, and then from there you can work your way up. I hope the above helps. And good luck to you! :)

thank you so much for responding! May I know how tall you are?
@@jinhitstan4873 You’re welcome. I’m 5”3. :)
Do we need to have PR or Citizen of Canada to become flight attendant in Air Canada?
Hello, thanks for watching! Yes, most, If not all, Canadian Airlines do require at least PR of Canada if you’re still not a Canadian Citizen.
Hi ate ask ko lang po sana if pwede parin maging FA or Cabin Crew sa Canada kahit sa ph ka nag grad ng tourism?
Hi, thanks for watching. I don’t think that’s a problem, as education is not as important to some of the North American Airlines. I say this because some of the job postings, if I’m not mistaken, only require a high school diploma. That shouldn’t be too much of a big deal. However, it would be much of an advantage if you have an extensive work experience, especially in the customer service industry. Work experience plus your education will give you a much better chance at impressing the HR team. Hope that helps. Best of luck!
