At CYYT, St. John's prior to an IFR departure, who would the pilot contact to obtain an IFR clearance?

Explanation:
The key idea is that an IFR clearance must come from the facility that issues clearances, not from surface controllers or weather information sources. Before taxi or pushback, you need an IFR clearance that authorizes your route, altitude, and any holds. At most airports, including St. John’s, this clearance is issued by Clearance Delivery. Ground handles taxi routes and surface movements, ATIS provides weather data, and Center takes over once you’re enroute in IFR airspace. So, the pilot would contact Clearance Delivery to obtain the IFR clearance before departure.
