Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[JamesKEDU]

During my reliability screening, I was informed by the counsellor right away that I needed a security clearance pre-assessment. They sent my file to Ottawa right away, and he said they wanted my file to go through as soon as possible, so the background check wouldn't take 10-18 months. I received a call just last week to book the medical and interview, so I'd say it took a little over a month to do my background and reference checks, including the international ones. Perhaps you could ask the recruiter if it is in your best interest to provide an Australian criminal records check to speed up the process?

I've just been scheduled for a medical and interview on July 4 and 8 respectively. My file manager suggested that I give them an Australian police check and I did just that. It still took me a month to be contacted  but I'm not complaining as long as I'm moving forward! Perhaps I'll see you on the 8th. Best of luck to you!

AMAZING NEWS, its not 100% but I just emailed my RC and said "I was wondering, how competitive was my file?" then he responded with "You should be getting a phone call by the end of this week "

Now its time to start praying that the "should be getting a call" will in fact happen!

That's awesome news bud! I'm Finishing up my tests within the next couple of weeks for infantry. Did you by chance state a regiment preference? And if so, how did you go about it?

That's awesome news bud! I'm Finishing up my tests within the next couple of weeks for infantry. Did you by chance state a regiment preference? And if so, how did you go about it?

Thanks! and yes I did. As soon as my interview was over my Recruiter asked me "have you considered with Regimental affiliation you would like for Infantry? We have the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) stationed in Petawawa, ON as well as Gagetown, NB. Or the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) out of Edmonton, AB and Shiloh, MB."

So I told him RCR and that was final. That's is what he put on my application but 2 days ago I emailed him and told him that I was perfectly okay with RCR or PPCLI so he updated it right away and today he emailed me telling me that I should be expecting a call by the end of this week .

All you need to do is email your recruiter and tell him where you would like to be posted out of the 3 regiments. You do not get to choose the battalion but only the Regiment. Hope that helps and good luck with everything!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll definitely tell them PPCLI. Something about me and the prairie winds. We've always got along nicely. Hopefully for both of us, a great future awaits. Apologies if I clogged up the thread.

During my interview, we reviewed my file thus far. I was told that I am looking really competitive. And that if all works out well without any hiccups, she would't be surprised to see a job offer for the fall or early 2014 BMQ. On an off topic the medical assistant told me that I have the textbook perfect blood pressure, a first for her! Feeling pretty excited!

Fantastic! Yes, as long as you're moving forward, it's good news. You never know...it might have been that people were taking vacations or something! =) But congrats, and maybe I will see you on the 8th! Best of luck to you as well. Perhaps we'll be platoon buddies!

Passed interview for pilot again on June 6, and have medical booked for July 3.  Had a good meeting with my sleep study doctor, and my apnea has much improved - to the point of of not needing actual treatment.  However, its still mild, and not sure how they'll look at it.  On the up side, the doctor said that more improvement in my physical condition will only help.  Medical does look at things case by case, so I'm hoping they'll rule in my favor.  Cross fingers for me!

Just had the medical the other day and my new documentation from the sleep study has been submitted to RMO for reevaluation. They said reevaluation tends to go faster, so I'm hoping I'll hear something by early August.

I was already told this is the new version, it's only three days instead of five, and no flight simulator.

Looks like it's implemented already then. My recruiting centre wouldn't comment on it yet though. So any extra info you have or will pick up at Trenton will be much appreciated! Did you receive a new study guide to prepare for Trenton?
