Finally heard back from an MCC today that I am being loaded on an ACS course within the next two weeks and should know the exact date on Monday.

Short note about my experience with a PLAR being done on my file.

You cannot be Merit Listed when a PLAR is being done, so I was pulled from the list when the PLAR was started. (A few MCCs were surprised that a PLAR was even being done on my file, as I have no prior military experience, but it is what it is!) My CFRC sent my file up late October 2013, then my transcripts had to be resent first week of November 2013 due to prior scans being illegible. Some staff said it could take 4-6 weeks. Just checked today and the PLAR is still being done/in process. Good news is that my file is still open and when April comes, I'll have to just update my medical, interview, references, etc. So if your file is being sent up for a PLAR, it might just take 4-6 months instead of 4-6 weeks; no one can really define a set time for your situation/file. Not sure if it's trade-specific as well, but I'm gunning for Training Development Officer and Public Affairs Officer, Reg Force, and their intakes are few and far between during the year...so it's possible that the reviewers are prioritizing trades that are open or in need at the moment. But who knows! The other good thing is that, with an "update interview", you'll have a chance to tell a MCC what you've done and have your experience updated, which, hopefully, gets you higher on the list.

Anyway, good luck to fellow applicants and congratulations to those who received the call.

Can't wait for the new fiscal year!

Depends on if you're going for regular or reserve. Reserve you have a PT test prior to enrollment to the forces. If regular you will do the Force/PT test at BMQ.  That being said, I've heard that during the medical portion there are a few "physical" aspects to it. Mostly range of motion type things.

They check reflexes, make you do like 2 pushups just to see if anything aches, stuff like that.

Not bad. Took roughly a month to hear from them. To be honest the last thing I expected was a letter asking me to call them. Took quite a few calls but eventually made contact. 

 

[RectorCR]

Apperently my references are being called (one of them called me after he got a call).
Seems a little odd, I've been merit listed for Infantry Officer since May and am not yet Merit Listed for Pilot. So I'm guessing it's pertaining to Inf. since as far as I know my references have never been contacted. Is selection coming up soon for Combat DEO trades?

Received a call from the local CFRC on Friday, I go for my Interview and part 2 of my Medical on March 3rd! Woot! At least it is a few days after I get paid, so I can get myself some good running shoes, some dress pants and a tie.  ;D

Just passed my CFAT today! Recruiter told me to expect 1 - 1.5 months before my interview/medical since the fiscal year is nearly over and my trades are not a priority to fill before then.

I was told I had a good merit score (or something along those lines) after my interview and that engineers are in high demand but that it can take up to a year. A friend of mine applying for the engineers, had a successfull interview January 22nd  2014 and was sworn in February 8th  2014  and is now in Quebec for basic. I would love to have such a short wait. It's been less than a week and I already cant wait to go.
