marinemech said:the military runs on a system commonly called ...please wait processing... , the early phases of my file, up to the CFAT was less than 75days, then it basically moved at its own place for a few months, only finally got to do my interview in October, 15 months after i applied, don't worry they will dust off your file in due time
mrjasonc said:Timing varies. Its all about whether or not your occupation is open or in priority status. If you applied for a priority occupation certain steps may take less time. At the end of the day you merit against other applicants NATION WIDE. So some occupations have very few openings and others like Avs tech have over 100 openings (115 in October). So to fully answer your question and only assuming considering where your at in your process. A realistic time frame is 6 months to a year to get to BMQ from where you are at. Again depending on the openings for your trade there are, etc ....... After CFAT they will do your security clearance which can take 2 weeks to 3 months alone. The Interview, medical which again depending could up to another 2-3 months and once everything comes back assuming your credit is good and no hiccups their you would be merit listed ..... I think I have most of that about right. Search the Applications Samples thread and personal stories. You will see a ton of timing samples to help clarify the answer in which you seek.
mrjasonc said:You will learn to "hurry up and wait" a lot. "You can control only what you can control". That line is what helped me a lot in the process. Try to stay a step ahead. So when your ID comes. Think of anything else that could potentially delay you. Take that list and during your waits deal with those things so when your file manager calls you. You can just hand that info over to him.
