Go through the process like anyone else.  I really don't think that $3.5K in debt as you previously posted is that big a deal.  Have you ever taken the time to find out just what your "Credit Rating" is?  Because the CF will and you should as well.....long before the CF knows!

I havent checked in a while but i know its garbage and i think its gonna hurt alot in terms of not getting in. Ive been screwed around alot by my family and been living on my own since i was 17. Now 21 and i make barely enough to keep the lights on. So i cant afford to put a single pennie towards it. But i learned to love kd and roman needles lol

We have several topics on that subject.  Feel free to read them.

Thanks George,

Relatively new to this forum and didnt have much luck with the search function.  Was hoping for a link, but I'll look again.  Lol.

IT'S FREE!!! 

So you are currently all "worked up" over something, that your local CFRC probabily will have knowledge of and may even question you on, while at the sametime, that information is readily available to you!  There is nothing like going for a "job interview" knowing exactly just what the answer to the question is before the question is even asked.

So let me help you out and hopefully other applicants to the CF get the "hint" as well......obtain a Credit Report before hand and it's free!!!!!  And I have even done the "pointing and clicking" for you below, so you don't get discouraged and give up like most every other person does.

Equifax Canada - http://www.equifax.com/ecm/canada/EFXCreditReportRequestForm.pdf  <------the website was somewhat "consumer" friendly

TransUnion Canada - http://www.transunion.ca/docs/personal/Consumer_Disclosure_Request_Form_en.pdf    <----- I can see why no one ever asks them for a FREE Credit Report.  What a nightmare trying to find the link for this one!!!  :-(

I will repost this again as a separate topic for all to see.

Exactly. I requested my credit report yesterday after reading the credit check post. Im going to work on getting it all consolidated on monday. Hopefully that will be enough to get past the military reliability check.

From what I've read on here, most people that applied in March did their BMQ in October. Is that a fair assumption? I'm a patient person, but I want to get this over with cause I'm getting kicked out on my 18th birthday.. Some family.
Is there an average wait time, or..?

 

[Goodeman]

I have been in the process for 14 months. You might be in for a bit of a wait bud. Best of luck!

Maybe!!! Provided my testing and medical and interview all go as planned... lol. I'm actually pretty nervous!

 

[Medtech45]

Study hard, CFAT is not a simple undertaking.  For the interview, know all the ins and out of your trade selections.  Good luck!
