Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Stiman]

Thank you for the clarification DAA. You've been quite helpful.

I was told to take ACSO off my list. Guess cause it is limited as you say.

As for my application, the only steps left are the interview and medical, plus the personality test. I'm hoping they will do all three in the same day.

I was told that for the upcoming selections, my three choices are on "priority" in terms of processing. Meaning I will in all likelihood be processed in time for the coming selections. Assuming their are no hiccups in the security clearance and background checks.

Still waiting for the initial contact email.......

Might be working in the armoured car industry before I ever get the email, lol.

It wouldn't hurt to contact your Recruiting Office. After waiting a month I called them and am glad I did. They looked into it and my file was sent to the wrong province so they got me to go in and fill out an application directly with them. Much quicker

I appreciate your message, but I've already contacted the office twice in the past, and emailed once, so my quota is met for bugging them. They assured me it's in the process. I just need to keep busy and the gym is a Godsend.

But again - thank you!  :nod:

Everything went well in my medical; 20/20 vision, good hearing no underlying health problems.  I was well prepared for the CFAT and it felt good, so now just waiting for my interview to be scheduled.  ;D

 

[Guelph]

Wow - ironic timing, as I just got my initial contact via phone. I told them that I passed the CFAT in 2002 before changing my mind on applying, so the recruiter said I may not have to repeat the CFAT. I'm waiting for a call back any moment...

CFAT scores for the most part are good for life.  Provided your local CFRC can pull the last results....

 

[Guelph]

The guy on the phone pulled them in like 10 seconds.....but he hasn't called back, and now it's after hours. Oh well, perhaps tomorrow.

Makes me think back to some previous posts about people having to "wait" until their CFRC was able to obtain these results.....hhhmmmmmm

Sounds like you have a half decent file manager!

My CFRC is Hamilton also, and yes, if Guelph has the same file manager as I do, he's excellent! 

 

[Guelph]

Fingers crossed, my friends! He sounded like quite a young guy, but really polite and attentive, so we'll see!

Found out today that I was placed on the merit list yesterday! The weeks between my medical and today have been the most stressful haha. I was concerned they would reject me based on my medical history, so to hear that I was cleared medically fit was quite a relief. Now I patiently wait for the job offer, hopefully it won't take to long, I would love to start BMQ in July.

Had my interview today and was told I am competitive. Unfortunately DEO Infantry and Armour are both closed for the year but should be open in Spring 2014. Now time to wait!

Who told you that Infantry and Armour officer won't be going to BMOQ until Spring 2014? I don't think that is true.

My file manager and interviewer. I know things change all the time but as far as they knew both trades were closed for the fiscal year. Did your interviewer not mention that?

In my experience I try not and take anything the local recruiters say seriously because it seems to be wrong about 90% of the time. But no they didn't say anything. I was talking to the national recruiting centre and they said to ignore the open/closed thing because it changes constantly and te website is almost always wrong. The next DEO course dates are on September 16 and 30 according to CFLRS. I really hope I'm on one of those.

* Just did my CFAT yesterday. Did very well. Kinda bombed the first part of it but aced the other two parts. Apparently I had a high enough score for officer.. too bad I'm a dummy and didn't go to uni.

Med Tech needed Grade 12 Biology and Firefighter was definitely not open. Changed to Aesop and looking at other options.

Yeah I hope I am too. The sooner the better. I think the DEO course dates on Sept. 16 and 30 are for trades that are open but who knows.... keep our fingers crossed!

Fire Fighter is OPEN.  However, the entry requirements are pretty strict..........and it is pretty much a given, that if you don't meet the "ideal" requirements, you won't get an offer.
