According to Airbus Helicopters Fb page

A new era of flight training for the RCAF has officially lifted off!

The first production test flights of the twin-engine H135 helicopters for Canada’s Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program are complete - marking a major milestone toward preparing the next generation of Royal Canadian Air Force pilots.
The twin-engine H135s provide real world immersion to the current operational RCAF fleet, and advanced technology that will help to better prepare pilots of the RCAF with the skills needed on the front lines. These H135s are the first of the 19 aircraft that will deliver modern, comprehensive training to the men and women who will protect our skies and serve on missions at home and abroad for decades to come.
