Finally!  What a weight off my shoulders.  Got a call and an email with my offer.  I was told I would have had an offer in March if my medical was pushed through properly.  Someone forgot to fill out a box or push the right button and it delayed it 3 months.

I haven't looked through to see who else got offered ROTP at RMCC, but I'll see you guys in Kingston!

Just a quick question for the guys and gals that got appointments, did any of you call the recruiters and ask them to book you appointments? Or how did  you get them to get you appointments?

Edit for clarity: I know most people will patiently wait, but this question is for the proactive applicants

You can be as proactive as you want. At the end of the day, THEY will decide when to book your appointments.

You can be as proactive as you want. At the end of the day, THEY will decide when to book your appointments.

You have to remember that the people working in the office have alot of applications to deal with so calling and being proactive isnt a bad thing. It also show them that you are serious and motivated. My recruiter told me that people who call have their file move faster. But yes, at the end of the day, they decide when they do it!

It also show them that you are serious and motivated. My recruiter told me that people who call have their file move faster. But yes, at the end of the day, they decide when they do it!

And both my local recruiter and the staff members at the virtual recruiting center told me that calling and emailing wouldn't get my application moved faster, and I would be processed based on when my application was received (subject to recruiting needs). To quote the Sergeant directly from his last email to me: "Good things come to those who wait."

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for a status update or to check if they are waiting for anything from you if you feel you have waited too long, because there is always a chance you missed a piece of paper and they are waiting for it, but I wouldn't do it with the expectation it will speed up your application.

Everyone has different experiences, and every office runs a little differently, but I think one thing that has remained constant is that patience is a virtue in the Canadian Forces. So ForeverLearning, if you are concerned about the length of time you have waited, contacting them by email is probably the best way to get an update, but they WILL set your appointments eventually on their own without needing you to call, if they have all of your papers/forms etc.

Every application is different.
My file got lost or something so I called and thats when things got done. The person that got my file told me that she made a mistake and if I havent called, she wouldnt have realised it. And she told me that things like this can happen, so its not a bad thing to call when you havent heard from them in a while. But you're right, patience is a virtue.

Anyone know if CFLRS has any BMQ courses scheduled after July 15?  By that I mean typically do they run courses after July 15 or wait until fall to start it up again??

Why do you need to know? I am sure if you have job offer you will be informed about next BMQ.
How information there is or there is not BMQ after July 15 can help you?
Personally I heard about August BMQ and BMOQ.

It can help him because he might be looking at some other commitments in life, such as a temporary job, volunteering, upgrading his education etc. If he knows when the dates for BMQ are, he can plan his life out according to those dates so he doesn't commit to something, and then find out there is a BMQ during that time and he gets called for it. If nobody had any reason to know the BMQ dates, the Forces would have no reason to post them publicly on the CFLRS website months in advance. It is a very legitimate question/concern for a hopeful recruit to have.
