I added Pilot as my second choice yesterday. Apparently I have to re-interview and then if all goes well there, head to Trenton for testing.

Still hoping for Inf. Off. but I'd be more than happy to accept an offer for Pilot.

Did they ask you to add on pilot because you fit the profile? Or you decided yourself?

No I chose it on my own. I've been considering pilot since I first applied but I figured I'd get an offer for Pilot much sooner than Infantry Officer which is what I'd rather do, so I've been holding out for a while. I added it now because the new fiscal year is coming up soon and if Inf Officer doesn't go through for whatever reason I have a good chance at a fall back.

Really was there something wrong with your medical? I guess I was lucky to get it cleared quickly, my reference check was the thing that delayed my application for a long time almost a month actually

Thought I'd spell out my pilot application in case anyone was interested...

I had my medical yesterday. I had one about a year ago so this was a really short meeting. They basically measured my height and weight and blood pressure and got me to sign a form saying nothing serious had developed since I last saw them.

They gave me some homework to do. I have to go get an eye exam from an optometrist including a cycloplegic fraction. Also, I need to get blood work and urinalysis done. Unfortunately I have to foot the bill for these things and in NS at least third party physicals aren't covered by MSI so the blood work and urinalysis are going to cost ~$100 and the eye exam is $129 (fortunately my insurance covers a lot of the eye exam).

They said given these tests go well and the interview goes well Ill proceed to Trenton, ON for Air Crew Selection and if that goes well off to Toronto for Air Med. where they'll do a bunch of more test...

Seems like quite the involved process haha.

Thanks for the solid info. I'm submitting all my documents on Monday and I'm sure that my case will move along quickly as I have already been granted a V1 recently (about 2 years ago) and scored competitively on the aptitude exam. I'll try to schedule the blood work in advance since it takes an eternity for these things here in Montreal lol. Good luck in the process I'll keep my process up to date here as well so we can compare and such. Cheers.

So here is my situation:

I hope someone with experience, or who knows how the process goes, can help me out. I originally applied online through the Virtual Rec. Cen. It took me a few months to gather all my documents like transcripts, diploma, licenses, etc. I think i finally got all those forms submitted to North Bay around August 15 2013. I was later contacted by Halifax in September to get the application process going. So, officially, I would say RC Halifax had all my paperwork around October 1st. It is now January and I am still waiting on my Background check to be completed. So here is where I wanted some help...
I am applying for Aviation Systems Tech. I am a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. I have studied and received my diploma from an approved course. Everything seems to be going great except I feel with my credentials, I would have seen more progress by now. Does it matter that I have experience in this field? Or does my application get treated the same as someone who has no training?

Also how long have your security checks taken?

This is definitely a process. But I am dedicated and have the patience. Working and being part of the Canadian Forces is a dream of mine.

Right about now, the background checks are probably the least of your worries.  I would probably be more inclined to ask whether or not your CFRC has even initiated a PLAR on you with respect to your "Diploma" as this process can take a mimimum of 2 months to complete.

Given the fact that the CF is in need of AVS Techs and the time it is taking to process your file, I get the feeling that someone might have dropped the ball.....
