I finished my interview as well as all other aspects of the application before March and am merit listed. I still haven't received a call and don't expect too anytime soon. As another member pointed out, not very many job offers went out in the first few weeks for April but speculated that more would start going out starting on April 15th. Even if this holds to be true, keep on moving and planning ahead for civilian life because they might not be taking very many people in this year.

P.S. Sorry if that came out as mean or discouraging. I didn't mean it like that. Just don't get your hopes up otherwise you may end up severely disappointed.

Good day,

Thought I would share this, I called my local CFRC yesterday for the statues of my application, after giving the operator my service number, he proceeded and looked at my file. He then told me ``Just wait for a phone call``,  I asked him if that meant I was being considered for a job offer, he said he could not give me any further information and that I wait for a phone call. That call made my day; hopefully my interpretation of what he said is correct.

Sleath

I went to the RC in person just now. The recruiter took my photo ID and looked up my file and after a couple of minutes of silence he gives me back my ID and says "Alright... just wait for a phone call." He said that's all the info he has for now and that he's not sure when they'll be sending offers. I wasn't sure if i was merit-listed yet but that pretty much answered my question.

Good day,

I noticed you have two of the same trades as me SIG OP, LCIS (ACISS). From the (4) times I have called thus far pre-April 1st, I was told the same thing (x4) `` You are currently Merit Listed, nothing else I can tell you as of now``, so to get a different reply from an update was quiet surprising . So I guess it’s looking good for us, let’s just hope for the best.

I actually changed Sig Op to EO Tech. Sig Op and LCIS is a little redundant anyway since they both start off with the ACISS base.
But anyway...yes, let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!

I called two weeks ago and got the exact same response. The "You are currently Merit Listed, nothing else I can tell you as of now" one, not the other one you mentioned. I'm glad to hear you got a different reply however the last time you called. Maybe this means the time is drawing nearer for those of us who applied for Sig Op.
My family has been awfully discouraging lately. Saying things like "it's taking forever, you're not going to get in" as well as "just quit." So to be able to prove them wrong would be great

Just out of curiosity, what kind of volunteer work/extra-curricular activities did you put down on your application?

Good luck to you Sleath!

Good day,

Appreciate it, just keep a positive mind and stay determined. I had quite a few on my application:

- 48 hours of Community Service at a local school
- Red Cross member at my University
- Track and Field team (3 years running)
- Cross country (2 years running)
- Weight training (Every other day for the past 4 years)
- Cardio (days I don’t weight lift) (Every other day for the past 4 years)
- Swimming (Weekends)
- Baby-sit on Fridays (past year)

I had others but forgot what else I had on there Hope everything goes well for you to, best of luck.
