[SMG III]

So I applied at the end of March..
I got my email back, as standard, and followed the instructions (sent in school transcripts, and birth cert), but I haven't heard back yet.

I'm not sure what to do, as they haven't even reported that they received my things. I need to get going with my career here..

Any advice?

 

[DAA]

Any advice?

Send them an email  jobs@forces.ca  and ask "What is the current status of my application?"

That would help.

 

[SMG III]

They don't seem to like to email me..

 

[Cbbmtt]

They don't seem to like to email me..

Email the recruiting centre closest to you, get the email off the forces website.

I'm afraid I haven't noted exact dates so this may not be as accurate as some samples.  Dates provided are mostly guesses.  It's also been a long process.  I originally applied for Pilot in February 2012 and was offered AESOP June 10th 2013.


First Application

Recruiting centre: Hamilton
Regular/ Reserve: Regular
Officer/NCM: DEO
Trade choice 1: Pilot

Interview: summer 2012
Aircrew Selection: Oct 2012
Position offered:
Enrollment/swearing in:

I did well at Aircrew Selection.  I passed in Trenton and was sent to Toronto for medical where they found My sitting height is about an inch too tall to fit in the Grob aircraft.  Afterwards I immediately had ACSO added to my application but didn't pass the nav test.  I was told I have high military potential so they suggested I look at other jobs and reapply in the new year. 


Second Application.

Recruiting centre: Hamilton
Regular/ Reserve: Regular
Officer/NCM: NCM
Trade choice 1: AESOP
Trade choice 2: Aviation Systems Tech
Tade Choice 3:

BMQ starts for me July 8th 2013.  It feels very surreal.

 

[Tralax]

Congratulations!!

I have my CFAT in 4 hours.  I'm pretty excited to get into the process past just filling out my online application, and email/telephone.  I'm glad to be doing something  ;D

Everything went okay at my medical today, they never asked for a urine test and i questioned the examiner about that and he said they no longer do urine tests. Now just waiting for my interview. does anyone have any idea how long after a medical you have to wait for an interview?

Everything went okay at my medical today, they never asked for a urine test and i questioned the examiner about that and he said they no longer do urine tests. Now just waiting for my interview. does anyone have any idea how long after a medical you have to wait for an interview?

A lot of people complete their interview the same day as their medical. Other people are waiting 3-5 weeks. So its going to depend entirely on your recruiting center. They might even wait til medical clears before the interview. It seems each recruiting center, or even each case, can be completely different on the order of things getting done. But judging by everyone elses timelines posted, around 5 weeks seems like the longest. As always, if you wait a couple weeks and no update from them, just come up with a reason to email them and try to get more information from them on the timeframe til interview.

They aren't going to lose your paperwork or put a big warning beside your name for trying to make sure you are up to date with everything. You could just say something like "I wasn't sure if I was supposed to schedule my interview before leaving from my medical, and I want to make sure I leave my schedule open for that day. Do you know when about my interview will be scheduled, or do we need to wait for my medical to be processed before proceeding?" Something like that should work!
