Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Marshall]

has any one else been dealing with CFRC halifa. do you find them fast ro slow. I have passed my Cfat adn have my interview / sched for feb10. how fast can i expect progress after that? any ideas

I actually found CFRC Halifax very fast. But it all depends on the amount of people they are working with I suppose. I applied and was done everything within a month for ROTP.  ;D

I found CFRC Halifax was very quick when it came to the testings and interviews aswell.

The part I've had to wait the most for is that darn ERC, which I don't believe the CFRC has any control over.

ERC?

ERC=Enhanced Reliabilty Check (background check; criminal record, credit history, etc).

well currently I am the only Merit Listed DEO for LOG at CFRC Kitchener, according to my application manager, and with occupations opening back up due to the new fiscal year, chances are looking pretty good.  Though, if I don't get the call, I will be doing Air Crew Selection testing in Toronto right away.  What a process this has been, 4 years and counting....lol

Well i mailed my application Jan. 21 and received an email the following Monday Jan. 26 saying that i was missing a document and they needed to see the originals of my birth certificate and drivers license and not copies of them.  So i went in on Jan. 28 to get that all taken care of and booked my CFAT that day for Feb. 4.  I passed my CFAT and on the day i wrote it i scheduled my medical and interview for Feb. 28.  It seems that things are moving really well.  Can't Wait!!!

I was previouly an ROTP OCdt....  After leaving (4c), I've tried to apply three times now CEOTP.  My luck is that the process takes so long to perform that the positions are no longer available, and I'm told to reapply at a later date.  This is rather frustrating, as CEOTP numbers are not published publically, and you know, working my civilian career around the army's schedule is somewhat...  frustrating. 

Anyway, *crossing fingers*.

So far so good, apparently when I applied to the reserves back in 2002, my CFAT score was really good and I had already scored above the officer candidate requirements, so I do not have to write it again, so one less thing.

CFRC Halifax sure is on the ball, finished with the paperwork on monday, scheduled the medical and interview for thursday. Can't wait!

 

[romeokilo]

Galahad , I think you and I might be on the same NOAB, at least I would hope so.

As a reserve have you already done your BMQ/BMOQ? I don't know how it works for reserves, thus the question.

 

[Galahad]

I'm afraid I don't know either, I changed my mind after my medical, so I was never in the reserves.

Also, as long as there are no holdups on my medical or anything, I would expect that we would indeed be on the same NOAB sometime in June/July.
