Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[The_Green_Basterd]

Wrote the ACSO test.  Just got home.  Was told I scored the second highest they'd ever seen through the Ottawa CFRC.  Things are looking good.  If you want to ask any questions regarding the ACSO Test, shoot me a PM and I will help you out as best I can.

Spoke with my recruiter afterwards regarding Aircrew Selection at the CFASC.  I should be getting a call next week, most likely.  They're scheduling for the week of Feb 25 as of this time.  Really looking forward to it.

Congrats.  Just sent you a PM.

Components had to be updated/redone due to the new recruiting standards. I was told my total score was improved upon this time around, which should hopefully improve my merit-listing placement as well.  There are still other applicants needing to re-interview for the trade in addition to any new applicants still going through the process. It's difficult to fully gauge how much I improved speaking strictly in terms of my placement at this point--Hopefully enough and hopefully things move along well in the next few months, but I can only be patient and wait...

Well I've been merit listed, now waiting for selections which I spoke with someone today from CFRC Toronto and he said my Trait Self Descriptive appointment is cancelled and I don't need to do it and look out for a call if selected which he then said will soon happen in February.

Keep your phone close and check your messages boys and gals!

 

[The_Green_Basterd]

Good luck to all you guys and keep your phones charged up and on, this week might bring you guys and gals some good news.

What are the annual timelines for the CF?  When in the calendar year do things seem to happen more readily?  Is it a budget thing, or a course scheduling item that dictates how and when jobs are opened up and courses are scheduled.  I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, quite the contrary as I'm genuinely interested in the behind-the-scenes operational stuff like how this all works.

Three friends at Borden.  Two SGT, one WO; and all as equally excited about me joining as I am.  lol

This is an awesome question.  Unfortunately I have no idea.  It's not a smoke and mirrors thing, it's because the system is so large and there is so much going on, its impossible to figure everything out, even if you were in Recruiting your whole 30 year career.  From what I do get to see and learn, its absolutely fascinating and exciting and I will take the experience with me wherever I go.

The part that I do know is that they have set dates for selecting specific trades and its not always one date for the whole year.  There could be a selection for Infantry in Feb, April and Aug and known well ahead of time.  These dates are spaced throughout the year.  They are timed so that a person can be enrolled and put on a BMQ or BMOQ shortly after selection and than enrolment.  How they  decide how many they needed for each trade, what trade the load up early in the year as apposed to later in the year, what BMQs will have what trades (if they even look at that) etc are all things I would love to know.

Hope some of that helps.  If you ever get the opportunity to work at a CFRC, i highly recommend it.  Its a total different experience for anywhere else one might work and gives you a chance to work with all 3 elements, if you have never done that before.

I was informed today that because I spent more than 6 months overseas (I completed my master degree in England) I might undergo a Pre Assessment Security Screening. I was told that this may take a minimum of 3 months. I was expecting this, having spent many hours perusing these forums.

Not much of a change but it's still a move in the right direction  ;D As mentioned before, everything is now on hold because Ottawa will decide if I need to undergo a more in-depth secutity check.

Seawolf,

If he's three days late I'm sure they'll have saved his allotted push-ups for him to do.  lol

Ya, you might want to check that.  Can you be listed as AWOL from training, before you even start?
