Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Cbbmtt]

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.

Ideal Academics - High School Diploma (or Sec V) with Grade 11 (or Sec IV) Academic Math and one Science (Chemistry, Physics, Physical Science) and formal International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) certified training or equivalent from an accredited institute recognized by the CF Fire Marshall. Experience - Firefighting experience with a recognized municipal fire service or private fire brigade for a minimum of one year.  College or university level credits may be considered in lieu of firefighting experience. A PLAR shall be conducted by CFSTG SSO Standards Branch to determine eligibility. Valid Driver’s license.

Acceptable Academics -  High School Diploma (or Sec V) with Grade 11 (or Sec IV) Academic Math and one Science (Chemistry, Physics, or Physical Science)
No minimum experience required. Valid Driver’s license.

Must of been the science as I only had Earth Science, however everything else was in place as I had grade 12 math and High School Diploma.

Is anyone else dealing with CFRC Oshawa ?  I called almost 2 weeks ago and left a message. They haven't responded to me. I am off Tuesday and plan on going to speak to someone in person but I was hoping they would respond. I don't have an email address for the recruitment Center.

A Captain in the reserves has told me they are going to close the Oshawa RC. I don't know if this will affect our applications or not.

I'm being patient. Hopefully I hear something soon.

Try  info.oshawa@forces.gc.ca    If that doesn't work just contact the Toronto Office at  info.toronto@forces.gc.ca  and ask them to forward your query.

I work in Oshawa not at the RC though. As far as I know the RC is still open. Have not heard about it closing as anyone seeking to go Reg force is still currently sent there. I can verify if that rumour is true tomorrow.

....I still haven't heard back after that initial call a couple days ago. Weird, but I made sure to email recruiting and explained exactly what happened.

Congratulations, all the best! 

 

[Guelph]

LOL, not an hour after my last message, I just got the call. I don't have to do the CFAT, so it's straight to the interview and medical! I'm on a couple meds, so we'll see what happens with that. My advice in advance: be honest about your past, but don't screw yourself, either. Be smart.

Congrats Guelph!

On the CFLRS site under ceremony dates, the last one listed starts in July ending in October.  Nothing is listed after that.  Will they be adding more courses or is that it for the year?

I ask because the next QL3 for my trade selection starts in January 2014.  If this is the case, I may miss out as my PLAR is taking a long time to complete.

Your thoughts?
