Just completed the interview today and it went pretty well. Was found suitable for all of the trades I applied for so its pretty much a wait and see from this point.  Found out there is only one position open for EME officer, one for CSEO and MSEO is closed.  Looks like its going to be pretty tight for the rest of this year but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

*********************UPDATES*********************


So I moved to Ottawa at the end of June after graduating High School, and got my application started up AGAIN, cause they actually forgot about me.

Anyways did the CFAT today and I passed for all 3 of my trade choices!

They said to call in 2 weeks, but should I call sooner just in case something opens up for the medical and/or interview?

Also, is there a BMQ happening all the time? Or is it every couple months? Like, could I finish my application in Sept and get in for October? Or would I have to wait until December or something?

I just wanna get going (so excited)

BMQ happens many times in one year. The amount of BMQs in one year is based usually on the amount of recruitment needed in specified positions. For example, one month may have 3 BMQs starting while the next month may have none. There is no specific amount of BMQs every year. In your case...if you finish your application and prerequisites for your position and are merit listed in October, you would have to wait for a selection date. Once you have been selected after your scheduled selection date, you usually will be slotted into the next BMQ...whenever that is.

Had my interview today, unbeknownst to me, I thought I was just writing the CFAT and having the medical! So happy to have gotten everything done in one day. Waiting paid off. Scored very well on the CFAT, clean medical, and did well in the interview (despite being underdressed). Calling back mid September to see if I become merit listed. Things are definitely looking up. Thank you Halifax RC!

I'm really envious of you. I've been waiting for almost 2 months for an interview. The status I'm told is that I'm still waiting on the security check.

I'm worried about not getting a call in time for BMQ. I was told I'd get a call within 4-6 weeks of my tests. I've been waiting about 12. My recruiter at my home unit also stated that once he got my files he would get me enrolled asap. I guess since the reserve units don't start back up until september is the only thing I'm wondering why about why it's been so slow. The recruiting centre also said they were behind with things and I should call in two weeks from now to see if it's been sent to my unit. Not being impatient but just quite anxious! Anybody else in Toronto applied around the same time or have applied?

 

[Beamos]

Emailed my recruiter yesterday with a couple of questions regarding my paperwork and was informed that I was merit listed the day after my interview! I'm really pumped and hope that I can squeeze in to one of the last positions this year. Guess its a game of wait and see now. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting for that call

Cheers

Nice to have the next step booked.  I'm not worried about the interview (I've been told that I interview well on numerous occasions) but am a bit concerned about the medical.  Hope all goes well.
