Just received a status update that my medical file is on it's way back from Borden and they will be inputting my security information. I thought that part would have been done when they contacted my references and verified my employment dates weeks ago. I was told that takes 4-5 days and to call back in 2 weeks for an update if I don't hear anything.
 
Well I'm glad your medical files are on there way back.........Now if only mine we're to. When did you files reach Borden?

They left my CFRC just over a week ago... I think I got lucky with that one!

Looking at your three selections, I wonder if anyone has advised you on the Security Clearance you will require to get onto your Trades Training Crse, whichever one you get accepted to, and how long that may keep you waiting?

They did inform me that I would need higher than usual clearance but did not indicate that it would take me longer than usual. I would love to hear what you have to say about it.

What might happen is that you will go on a holding/GD platoon on your assigned station until the clearance comes in for the course. That is what Comms Rsch do normally (they need TS/SA).

Can someone clear up something for me.  I was told that there was only one RMO and he/she was in Ottawa so why is everyones file going to CFB Borden?  Is Borden for if there was no problems with your medical or does it depend which CFRC you apply at?

The RMO is in Ottawa but used to be in Borden.  Some people, including CFRC/D personnel, don't know this or have forgotten.
 
yeah one person told me borden but i found out it was ottawa. they clear pretty quick there
 
Well when I was talking to a recruiter he had a bit of a french accent and it was kind of hard to understand him, but I thought he said my medical file was sent somewhere but had to be sent away again so maybe they sent it to Borden which was a mistake then had to have it sent away again to Ottawa, so maybe that's why mine is taking forever...

Yeah - I guess it helps that CFRC Ottawa is where I applied through too ;D
 
yeah you ontarios are always getting the early kicks at everything. I started my file in BC then moved to Nova Scotia over x mas, so there was a lot of waiting for me...
 
no doubt.  I'm actually from Cape Breton (hence the flag) and even miss it occasionally, but living in O-Town does have it's perks ;D
 
Figured I should post mine since it went unusually quick:

I'm 100% sure it had something to do with my trade choice, it is a distressed trade, and with the recent press about the maintenance of equipment, and the amount of out of service equipment the CF has right now they are probably pushing those applications through quickly for the new fiscal year...

That being said nobody should ever just choose a trade that gets them in quick... I've always been good with my hands and mechanically inclined, being a maintainer is something I will really enjoy... and that's why I picked it, I just happened to get lucky I guess!!
 
I was told today at the CFRC offers are being made 48-72 hours after being merit listed.  Yours came under 24.  Seems yours went faster in every aspect.

I was listed today so I hope mine goes that quick!
