You should receive a letter that tells you the when, where etc. I would suggest that if you don't hear anything by the end of July, you might want to give the CFRC a call (in fact, in the time it took you to write your post, you could have phoned the CFRC and put your mind at ease). As to what...

Perhaps you should speak to the police force which you would like to join and see what qualifications and skills they would like. In the meantime, I'd suggest that if you are going to join, pick an occupation that you would enjoy.

It should just be a matter of re-activiating your file. Although, you should be prepared for the fact that it might be too late for the reserves for the summer (hopefully not, but you should be prepared for the worse case scenario). Give them a call and tell them that you are still interested.

The entire issue regarding pre-security assessments and residency requirements is not a recruiting issue. These are requirements under the Government of Canada Security Policy. Bottom line is that the recruiting centre has nothing to do or say about it. In short, as Kincanucks has mentioned, (as...

Sounds like you are recruiting for PRes as opposed to Reg F. 1. Try to coordinate this with other units (Reserve, Reg F, recruiting centre etc). 2.  Lunch time displays are generally ineffective and thus, a waste of your time and effort. However, when life gives you lemonade, what do you do...

One Army, One Team, One Vision... isn't that the slogan for the internal information campaign?

Maybe it's just me, but I sense some flawed logic in your argument.

Looks like 6 September.

"when candiates arrive on course with medical problems then there's something wrong with the medical exam. The medics should be allowed to look at the candidates' past civial medical file. That way we don't have to take the members word that he does have a mental / physical problem that could...

Just a point for clarification, but fitness evaluations are handled by PSP contracted evaluators. CFRCs don't do the testing. If you look at the history of recruiting (not just in Canada, but around the world, the tools available are limited, but overall are adequate. The aptitude test is...

P Free You have received a lot of good advice. Take the time to make a well informed decision. If you want in and "will take any occupation". it doesn't really say much in terms of motivation...just desperation. Odds are you won't like the occupation that you select blindly. If you don't...

So all of those high school kids who sign up for the paid Army Reserve Co-op programs (and at the end of the semester they elect not to stay in the reserves)... You would call that what....? Or yeah, and when we send cadets to summer camp and give them a training bonus, that is.....what...

Twenty five years?! Don't spend time on it. Depending on a number of factors, some qualifications are good for five years, basic training could be valid for ten. More often than not, if a course has changed dramatically from when the qualification was granted, it won't be valid. A TQ 2 machine...

From the posts, I'm not sure what the issue is...people are concerned about spending money on videos, advertising or lack thereof? From what I understand, more than 26 000 (26 thousand) people have applied each year for the last few years... that's about four people for every available...

These videos are but a few minutes in length and are to educate applicants about various aspects of the job. Given the amount of time available and the average viewer's attention span, what would you have them say? The current videos and monographs do reflect some of the least appealing...

I might be wrong, but I think that they are referring to the trade lifestyle videos that are shown in recruiting centres and not paid commercials. At any rate, either one is worthwhile.

Although some might admire the fact that you are fighting using every means at your disposal, I'm not one of them. Essentially, you have refused to accept any responsibility for your actions despite repeated attempts to correct your shortcomings. In fact you have blamed everyone in your chain of...

I don't think that all of the facts are out but rather just one side of the story. At any rate, you have received a lot of very good advice here, however, you continue to deflect responsibility for your own actions. I would guess that you probably received a lot of good advice in the past, when...

You know, I remember reading a study that was done about attrition in basic training. The study was conducted back around 1975. Interestingly enough, the high attrition rate was partly due to the fact that the process was so fast that in three-four weeks people were processed and enrolled and...
