    CFAT length

    Last I knew the CAF website is actually vetted and reviewed by CAF Recruiting Staff. The link to practice the CFAT is done by civilian programmers. Trust the CAF link; but if you are concerned with this, ask your local recruiting Centre as they are the actual authority (i.e. any answers here...

    Applying as a PR

    Everything you stated here is also required of a Canadian citizen. For someone that has been out of high school for many years; they have to get their high school transcripts on their own accord. Even someone coming in as a Medical Officer has to provide high school transcripts and all...

    The "Nursing Officer" Merged Thread

    I have moved positions; however when I was in Medical Recruiting only specialist nurses were given offers between April and September (i.e. Critical Care, Perioperative, Mental Health)... the General Duty Nursing Officers got offers starting in September. With that said if you send me a message...

    Just for the sake of clarity on the message thread. Please confirm if you're looking for a uniformed member or if this is going to be a civilian/Calian/BayShore HealthCare contract. Thanks :-)

    Medics requiring to maintain a license

    This one of the ones that makes me scratch my head. To be eligible for a PLAR to join the CAF as semi-skilled you need the course and a provincial license (within the last 5 years); and all other clinical occupations get funding to renew their licenses. I actually had to turn away a PLAR for a...

    New Med Tech Training

    I hate reviving old threads, but CFHS Support isn't a very active board and I'd like this information here if anyone else has queries. Reserve Medical Technicians are not eligible to do the QL3. Part of the training for QL3 is PCP for both Regular Force and Reserve Force. Regular Force...

    Questions before joining

    #1 - as winds stated, having debt isn't necessarily a bad thing or a mark against you. Having "bad" debt is where you will run into issues getting in. People with student loans, car loans, mortgages, etc (i.e. $100,000+ in debt) can join if they are up to date on their payments. But I've...

    Over 40 to old?

    I did Basic in 1999 (just turned 19) and there were several people who were in their late 30's to mid-40's. Honestly some of them were the best team mates I could've asked for. As much as they were recruits just like me, I'm not sure if I would've make it through basic training without them...

    Ten year travel history

    Honestly be as truthful as you can. You're not going to get rejected because of an error in dates that is an honest mistake For example if you state you were in New Zealand for work from 5 July 2017 until 15 July 2017; and in reality you were there from the 4th to the 16th your file isn't going...

    Pre-Security Assessment

    There is information that is put into the security system with your application; a response is then received stating whether you need a pre-security screening or not. Just because you have dual citizenship doesn't mean that you will; however you didn't state what country the dual citizenship is...

    Are Pashto, Dari, and Arabic still target languages? Civilian contractor versus Canadian military

    This is outside my arcs of expertise... honestly the young male should make an appointment at his closest recruiting centre and speak with a Military Career Counselor

    Applicant status closed

    You 100% did the right thing by reaching out to the recruiting office. If it is a glitch in the system they should report it up the chain so that it can be looked at, as if your file did that it's probably just "just you".

    Kinesology Degree

    Intake varies by Fiscal Year; however there are certain trades that always have big numbers to fill (Infantry for example); but there are also a number of people who apply for those positions as well.

    FORCE test and interview

    If you're doing your FORCE test prior to getting an offer to join the CAF I'm assuming you're applying to the Reserves. As such you should ask your unit what their timelines are as Reserve Units are in charge of their own recruiting. Some with the Foreign Implication, some units wait for it to...

    What’s a good percentile for infantry?

    A bit of this thread has gotten off track (which provided good laughs); but no one answered this for you. Percentiles are based on the number of people who've taken the test. So the percentiles today may not be the percentiles in 10 years from now. Luckily when I switched from NCM to Officer...

    Long wait for Medical Result

    I don't work in recruiting anymore; but I would say be patient. The CAF as a whole takes a great deal of our leave during June-August. There are also campaigns that run as specific times of the year; so they're also trying to ensure that everyone for paid education starting in September is...

    Not Given Promised Pay Incentive DEO

    Glad it was all sorted out for you finally! Best of luck in your career moving forward. I now have 25 years of service, have 1 grievance that I filed back in 2013 (that I won); just remember how you were treated during this; don't become grizzled by it, just remember to provide better support...

    Forecasting time commitment for PRes

    Caveat: I'm more involved with Health Services training; however have a couple Logistic Officer that fall under my umbrella; so with that said logistic officer training is long before you reach your occupational function point. You have to do BMOQ (Basic Training), BMOQ(L) also called BMOQ(A)...

    Kinesology Degree

    A Kinesiology degree is very specific. I'd have to double check the Entry Standards but from my memory the only occupation that is a direct match to a Kinesiology degree is Bioscience Officer; but unless you're applying for an occupation that will take "any degree" (and there are those...
