I believe I did fairly well. They didn't give me an exact score but advised that I qualified for any trade.

Still in shock. I don't know yet what my travel arrangements are. I'm thinking I will likely fly out of London.

Decided I didn't want to do another degree right now (already have 3), because end goal is to be a doctor. Becoming a med tech seems so much cooler than waiting to MAYBE be selected for ROTP, and then spending four years in school when it isn't the end game! Good luck to all!

[Noctis]

Hey everyone, I've been creeping on these forums for the past week out of curiosity and decided to pitch in. I'll keep this updated as things go.
21, been working full time the past two years, also run my own business in Montreal's south shore, but Civvy life ain't for me. I don't want to spend my life just working for money, I'm looking for something more. I want to experience life in the Forces, as well as getting an outstanding education and a university degree.
And yeah, the forces.ca site has been taunting me terribly over the past few months with their ''Wanted: Pilots'' front-page news... even though from what I've seen it's not exactly the most available job.
Nevertheless, I'd love just as much (if not, more? ) to be a Combat Arms officer.
Cheers to all!

CFAT Done!  Interview for Pilot on December 13th

CFAT Done!  Interview for Pilot on December 13th

So, from application to interview was just over a month?

When did you hear back about whether or not you were competitive for pilot/ROTP and go in for the next step? 

Since I applied just before the pilot deadline, and I'm sure dozens/hundreds did as well, I should expect a longer process as they process all of the applications.  Thanks for that example and good luck on the interview!

Reposting; I looked for the edit button and couldn't find it :/
This process seems to be going really fast already. Less than 2 weeks ago, I wasn't even sure that this was something I wanted to do...

Immediately upon completion of the CFAT (by this I mean within an hour after the test) the results are compiled and it's determined whether or not you score high enough for your trades. Incidentally, I passed for my chosen trades. As Pilot is my first choice, my CFRC rep met me immediately after the CFAT and asked me when I would like my medical and interview scheduled.
It was that simple, everything's happening really fast!

How soon after your application did you get a call from the recruiters that you are competitive for ROTP?  I know not to expect a call right away, but I was hoping to hear back within a couple weeks.
