This qualifying question ensures you'll be well suited to their environment. How you answer this question will reveal to the interviewer a lot about your personality and ability to build partnerships with your coworkers in their collaborative, team-based environment. Help the interviewer to see that you would fit well with NAV CANADA's teams by performing your research and learning everything you can about the environment, teams, and expectations of the position you are applying for.

"My current work situation is quite independent; however, as a result, I enjoy every social interaction and get along with everyone I work with. I also volunteer weekly at the local homeless shelter. Every week, there are new volunteers with a variety of personalities always coming and going, and some regular faces too. I am confident in my ability to work productively and harmoniously with multiple personalities in a close-working environment."

Yes, at my previous job, there were many different types of people I had to get along. Most of them are not initially from the same country as mine.
Rachelle's Feedback
The wording on this sounds negative. Touching on other countries isn't exactly personality based and could be misread by the interviewer. I have provided an example for you.
"I appreciate a diverse team environment, and successfully embraced this in my previous job. When someone has a personality different from mine, I like to get to know that person and their work habits. From that information, I can quickly assess the best way to approach them and create healthy collaborations."

I find I can get along with almost anyone, I enjoy a diverse work environment. I feel everyone has something different to add to the team.

Great! Build out this answer further by discussing a time when you worked with a diverse group of people (age/ethnicity/gender/academic level, etc.) Discuss how you handle differences between you and others; emphasize that you view this as a learning opportunity. Mention specific ways you would foster team cohesiveness (think back to crew appreciation weekends!)

Yes, I enjoy working with diverse personality types. I have worked on teams with many different types of people. I take the time to get to know them and how to communicate with them. I find this creates a more collaborative team environment and makes it easier to build friendships.

Great! If you're able to work on other specific soft skills you possess, like empathy, compassion, self-awareness, etc., feel free to add those in as well.
