The recruiter said it should take 1-2 weeks, so I'm hoping that I will get a call this week.
If I don't get a call this week, should I give them a call? Or should I just refer to the "Hurry up and wait" motto?
 
I would give them a call, with mine I decided to wait it out. That lasted a month. Then they deleted my profile because they had not come in contact with me since my application. It wasn't their fault. It was just miscommunication (it happens). So I re-applied and waited again. But CFRC New Westminster has phone issues. So I went in person, and they signed me up to do all three tests in one day. May 19, so soon I had better pass. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
 
UPDATE! YAY!

References (3) called: March 14, 2009
Interview: March 17, 2009 (Was told I was the competition to beat) 

Medical:  April 08, 2009  (Worried about past anti-depressant use)


MEDICAL...Letter is in the mail en route from Borden stating I am unfit.
I assume this would be due to the past depression I stated I had in 2005.
Recruiting Centre Medical staff stated "Depression is a Kill-All".
I wish I knew that before beginning this process.
I hear there is no appeal process, however I could supply additional information...

This is a real bummer and I will now shut up.

Good luck all.

Update.

 
Our ph system has changed a few times over since the move. And so have the staff. If you get the front desk, they should be able to re-direct your phone call to where it needs to go.

If you get to a voicemail just leave your last name clearly, preferably a reference number, a phone back number and a short message as to why you're calling. I come to my desk and answer 40-60 voicemails on a daily basis now. I will get back to you but please leave me a contact phone number! If the voicemail is full, try again tommorow or the next day.

Oh and don't forget to update your phone number, home address and e-mail if it changes. Last thing you want to have is the File Manager call to give you an offer and they can't get a hold of you (trust me, it happens).

Main reason why we can not return calls is becasue we have nothing to pull up on our computers. If you say "Hi this is Joe, call me back!" then which Joe out of 120 are you?

Again, Last name, first name, reference number (if applicable), contact number.

I'm sure by following these few tips you'll get a better response time. I know, becasue I make these calls.

UPDATE! Did my CFAT this morning and a partial interview (because my report from the RCMP hasn't reached CFRC Calgary yet) today. Took the CFAT and pretty much blew it out of the water, scored in the 97th percentile :D So happy :D I'm told that this high of a score is a rarity, so I'm pretty bloody happy about it, pardon my language.  :o ;D ;D :salute: :cdn:

Passed the interview yesterday, went well, I did not get any material or guide to prepare, but had read much about the job and the forces, way too much about the Navy and operations we're in rather than what the Forces are looking for in someone... personality-wise. Was surprised of the questions compared to those in Basic Up...

Anyhow, he said he'ld recommend me, only waiting for the medical, they received it on th 20th, so he said next week I should get a call and start BMQ July 6th or 20th! Yezzir!

Cutting it close for the NOAB, but hopefully I can still make it.

So my file manager called today and said I didn't make it on the upcoming NOAB.  Disappointing, but at least I'll have the summer to further prepare.
