    Direct Entry Officer (DEO) questions [Merged]

    Yes all officers are enrolled as OCdt; however other than ROTP they all receive pay as 2Lt or higher while on BMOQ.  Only ROTP receive OCdt pay while undergoing training. So to clarify. Rank on Shoulder While on BMOQ: OCdt Upon completion of BMOQ: 2Lt/Lt/Capt (depending on occupation) Pay...

    Expedited Reserve Enrollment (ERE) process [Merged]

    The Primary Reserve is in charge of their own recruiting; I'm not sure if there are any Primary Reserve Recruiters on here - you should ask the unit with which you interviewed what will happen. Best Regards

    Waiting Game

    As much as BeyondTheNow already spoke on this, I want to touch base on this comment. "harassing" the recruiters does absolutely nothing for your file.  It's not the Recruiter who decides whether you get in or not.  When you contact them (on site, email or phone call) all they do is make a log...

    Previous drug use question 2002 - 2018 [Merged]

    Just for your information - Recruiters cannot state whether you qualify or not when it comes to NPD (non prescription drugs) or medical issues.  That is outside their training and arcs of training. So stating that it doesn't disqualify you doesn't mean that you're good to go; it just means that...

    Previous drug use question 2002 - 2018 [Merged]

    The information being disseminated at the moment is that prior to 17 October 2018 the use of cannabis was illegal. Whether you're asked about consumption prior or after that date is up to the MCC; some might ask - some might not.  It's like asking about someone's drinking consumption.  I...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    Sorry for the late jump in here, but to expand a little bit. It's a requirement to do BMOQ your first "summer" in the CAF; be that prior to starting school or between the 1st and 2nd years that the CAF pays for.  If you do not attend BMOQ within that timing a Progress Review Board will be...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    It's really best to join the occupation you want to do.  There is an administrative process to change trades (Voluntary Occupational Transfer); but VOT's are not guaranteed, they require a great amount of paperwork, chain of command approval, plus a slew of other requirements.  Yes people VOT (I...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    You are required to give a minimum 30 days notice of your intention to release; the release procedures can (and often) take longer than 30 days to complete. Yes - there is a great deal of paperwork to fill out along with returning kit (uniforms). Technically until your Release Date has come...

    Things can happen out of a "normal" sequence quite often (more than people realize).  Nothing abnormal happening :-)

    Competition List Questions (formally called Merit List) [MERGED]

    The other thing to keep in mind, is if they sit down with the intention of picking 20 people off the Competition List, and there are 30 people there, 13 have scores that are comparable to the scores from last year and the look further back in the process and see people with scores higher than...

    Requesting a new MCC

    My Two Cents The turn around time for most MCC's to return communication is about 2 - 3 weeks, this is because it is not their primary function to communicate with applicants.  About the only time that I've seen direction for an individual to be told that they have to remain in contact directly...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    You receive an overall score on the Selection List based on your CFAT/TSD and your interview (your education is embedded in the interview score).  This is the only thing that bases you for competition on the "Selection List" While there is a score assigned to the CFAT & TSD; although some...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    Even if your CM wants you back there are still things required on the recruiting level that are required to be completed.  CRNC (background check), medical are the main two.  Even though you were previously in these are items that still need to be completed and from my experience the Career...

    Medical Technician - Unskilled, Semi-skilled, Skilled Application

    The statement on the website is correct (although confusing).  However that website is designed by a team of civilians that don't necessarily understand the military pay structure. The statement is "The starting salary for a fully-trained Medical Technician is $60,000 per year;" - this is 100%...

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    99% of the time yes.  If you are set to enroll the OR has already seen your name on their desks as there is a great amount of background work to enroll someone into the CAF (even the PRes). Worse case scenario they say they don't have record of you yet, but they might have insight as to who you...

    Biomedical Electronics Technologist

    Quickly weighing in as a Health Services Recruiter. All the information given to you here is correct; in addition to a Reservist (other than MedA) needing to be qualified in the occupation already - many of the Health Services Occupations are Regular Force only.  If you're looking at the PRes...

    Former U.S. military service

    After reading the thread I'm not catching what your questions are specifically, but here are some recruiting comments. 1) Can you join? The basic requirements to join the CAF are a) Age (between the ages of 16 and depending on enrollment plan upper age is 46-57) - from the sounds of if you meet...
