Membership Questions about user details, region and divisional transfers.

How do I transfer to VATCAN?

If your current Division is within the VATSIM Americas Region: Simply send an email to your current Division Director, and CC vatcan1@vatcan.ca on the email. Division transfers are usually processed within 3-4 days, but may take up to a week.

If your current Division is outside the VATSIM Americas Region: Change your Region on myVATSIM (VATSIM's Membership Portal), select your new region as "VATSIM Americas", and the new division as "Canada". It may take up to 5 days for your region transfer to be approved.

I failed an exam, can I try again?

Yes! All exams automatically reassign, usually within 3 to 7 days. The only time an exam will not automatically reassign is if your instructor manually cancels the reassignment.

How do I report issues with the website?
