I changed mine from res to reg  the week after I dropped it off.  Just call the CFRC, tell them who you are and that you would like to change it and what your new trade choices are.  It certainly wasn't a problem.  I'd call them once a month to check on progress.

The drop down menu on the main page does not list all the recruiting threads, I am sure that this is likely how you ended up here with this question.  Under the header you will see another menu bar that says HOME-HELP-SEARCH-PROFILE-ETC.  Click on the HOME button and you will find a full list of...

OK that makes sense I've been through a lot of occupational security checks, and interestingly every time it seems to take longer than the one previous (one would think the contrary).  Well I should be listed come late June then ???

so here's a question.  How are Backcheck and Criminal record check different???  I was told my back check was completed back in April, but I'm still waiting for my Criminal record check to come back????

congrats Jerrycan!, Wow, KK I'm in the EXACT same boat, everything is through but the security check which has been taking an unusually long time.  Also through CFRC Calgary,  coincidence??  and there's only two opening left in my first trade choice, ED tech :rage:  Weapons tech is full up so...

Myself I first started to think about joining after High school (20 years ago), but was admittedly very anti social, and decided to peruse my other interest in conservation enforcement (it seemed a lot more secluded from humanity).  Starting a family at 22 re-organized my goals and priorities...

Yes it does, thanks.  Now if only they would hurry up on my Criminal record check. 

I wouldn't bet on that either.  For your sake I truly hope that pans out, but I rocked my CFAT and I'm still waiting.  I was told 5 days on April 29th.    Reasons I'm waiting #1: trade choice, national selection, could not be offered at recruiting center, #2 Awaiting PLAR assessment for trade...

I think a Sept. BMQ thread is a bit premature.  It takes some time for everything to go through. Some of us who completed interviews etc. mid April are still waiting and July BMQ dates are still being reported in, I haven't seen any August ones yet.  But yes, if you just interviewed September...

Wow that's amazingly lame!!!

Thanks. With the right Milspeak it's all there and more :)

out of curiosity,  can anyone tell me (or direct me to) the marksmanship requirements to pass small arms training in BMQ and beyond?

Yeah I'm not going to be the only one losing weight during BMQ in my household.  Even on EI I make better than that.  Figure a mortgage of $900 a month, groceries for my wife and two teenagers and bills and deductions...  Mind you I knew when I applied that I'll be taking a 60% pay cut from my...

No she was simply e-mailing them to inquire as to why it had not been returned yet and prod them a little.  Funny thing is I am fairly certain she told me my Back Check was completed a while ago too (like my second phone call over a month ago).  Ironically in my civilian career I have gone...

Tulach, have you heard what the hold up is?  I heard the same on Apr. 29th.  Today I called and my file manager tells me they haven't got my Criminal record check back and it's been nearly 3 weeks too.  She said she'd contact them today.  The really crappy part is there are only two openings for...

I have been told that because there are only 9 positions for my first trade choice (ED Tech) the hiring decisions would go to a national selection committee, but having thirteen years experience in that field I was a very strong candidate.  When last I spoke with my file manager nearly two...

Tell me about it ::)  I gave the guy a sketch of what I wanted, ignorantly and naively expecting a professional tattoo artist to grasp that concept.  What I have now is an EXACT reproduction of that sketch!  One of these days I'll get some work done over it and make it look better, but I've been...

Another Update Phoned today, they told me my file had been sent to Ottawa yesterday and I should be getting an offer in a week or two.  That may be a bit optimistic as my interviewer said expect a month or two, because of national selection, it could take a while. 

that's kind of what I thought initially and put Land as my preferred element on my application.  But then I noticed that there is no SQ component, and in every piece of recruiting information I have seen the Techs pictured appear to be Air Force.

Thanks for setting things straight Quartermaster
