Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[DAA]

Beats me, must be some sort of "internal" thing.    :dunno:  Far too many "F-words" come to mind, none of which are flattering.

I'm rather surprised they did anything with your actual application, seeing as it appears you haven't written the CFAT or TSD yet.  Nothing wrong with doing something like that though.

 

[DukeLuke56]

I got told the same thing. Still sitting here four months later.

I know that the recruiter cannot really say something like that with supreme confidence, as there is no way to predict the future. It is for this reason that I have tempered my expectations, however I would be ecstatic if my application were able to be completed and processed in time for August/September BMOQ. While my high CFAT score may play in my favor in regards to my placement in the applicant pool, I have no illusions that my case is special or unique.

I do have one question. I have noticed that some people have waited many months between their CFAT and interview/medical while others have waited just a few weeks. Does the size (ie. amount of traffic the local CFRC handles) of the recruiting center's city/town play a role in the scheduling of interviews/medical appointments? One could reasonably assume that a CFRC in Vancouver or Toronto would process many more applications, and thus have many more interviews/medicals to schedule, than a smaller city such as Moncton.

I feel like i've been going through this process forever. I had actually previously applied a few years ago in Halifax and that's where I did my CFAT, that's apparently good for life so it carried forward. Unfortunately what also carried forward as an old disconnected phone number attached to my medical file so there was a month or so after medical that a piece of info was missing and I didn't know until I called back to see what was going on with my file. So that delayed me a bit but it's all back on track now. Seems like I'm in a bit of a waiting game. I'm told PAFO and INT are both very competitive with only a few spots. Has anyone with these trade preferences heard anything? Also seeing quite a few BMQ dates coming up in summer but not any BMOQ. Has anyone gotten a date for summer?

Here at the Fredericton center I applied at a similar time to a friend who had his interview 1 month before mine and was merit listed and got his bmq date 3 weeks after(we both went for combat engineer). Now 4 months later im still waiting to hear back for a swear in/bmq date. On the same hand another friend applied a few months before me and is still waiting for a interview and medical... maybe they are hating on him for his cfat. (couldnt see that going well for him)

Your progressing more than I have. I applied in April, 2013 and still am waiting for a medical and interview.

 

[Vanguard48]

Allow me gentlemen and ladies who are present to throw in my quick story. I have been waiting 2 years officially to get into the forces (Infantry Reserve) and have had no news nor will there be any this year due to budgeting and recruit intake spots in my region. Not even my testing has begun yet ever since my application date in 2012.

So for all of you who have actually had test dates and so on waiting for your call be patient, it will come eventually. In the meantime keep lifting and running hardcore because when BMQ starts its go time.

Sorry but I just had to throw this in . Proceed.

[cwatson91]

According to my file manager the next selection for Infantry is the start of August. By mid-August if you were selected you should receive "the call", I hope this alleviates your anxiety! I'm waiting for Infantry myself; good luck!

 

[SJantzi]

Selections are currently being done for August 4th BMQ (combat arms included)

Im not trying to be a grammar nazi, but I have no clue how you passed your CFAT if you cant distinguish between 'does' and 'dose'.... Same for 'threw' and 'through[out]' (its one word).

A helpful tip, though, follow the same format for your step by step progress that everyone else uses. It makes it a little easier to understand what you're trying to imply.

Ill do it for you so you can just copy and paste..

Trade choice 1 - Infantryman
Trade choice 2 - Artillery crewman
Trade choice 3 - Military Police (not acceptable)
Recruiting centre - (?????)
Reg Force/Reserves - RegF
Date applied - (?????)
Files sent to NB - (?????)
File sent to CFRC - (?????)
First contact - (?????)
Reliability screening - (?????)
CFAT - 24 JUN 2014
Medical - 24 JUN 2014
Interview - 24 JUN 2014
Job offer - N/A
Swearing in - N/A
BMQ starts - N/A

Edit: missed some points on the signature suggestion.

 

[dankcco]

A nice clarification on what you mean by "got this pick" would be incredible. Clearing that up would be excellent.

Did your CFAT score qualify you for the two but not MP? Or were you 'merit listed' for two but not the other?

((((Jeff.Beach)))))Oh i have an Iphone and it likes to make little auto correct. and i do not need to write down every little thing about my application mister

I don't think being on an iphone is a valid excuse. I send hundreds of emails from my iPhone everyday and the spelling and grammar are far more correct then the language you displayed. An iPhone will not change through to threw or does to dose. Capitalization and punctuation go along way to helping people understand what you are trying to say.

But hey your the person who knows every thing sorry bub

Just remember you were not their when I wrote it you were not leaning over my shoulder watching me type that so you should be a little more Curtis bub

LOL

I am sure he has no aspirations of being a little Curtis; whoever that may be.

Jeff.b

Go back and look at what you have written. 

 

[dankcco]

I think he was going for: "Just remember, you were not there when I wrote it. You were not leaning over my shoulder watching me type that. So, maybe you should be a little more courteous buddy."

@Jeff.b You mad bro?

 

[JSoff]

Honestly, I think he's a troll.

 

[dankcco]

I think you nailed it.

 

[JSoff]

On my way home from work I drove by a guy who was in his uniform, I was pretty envious..... Still haven't heard anything from my Recruiting Center.
