Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Angel52]

At Stacked,
I am not entirely sure, during my time at the recruiting centre they had me under the impression there were still spots open (or maybe a spot opened up). Anyway, I havnt recieved the dreaded phone call yet asking me to pick another trade. And each time I call them things seem peaches and gravey. (eww)

I'm a little confused with where my application is at the moment. I am done everything i need to do, yet i am not sure if i have been merit listed yet. Do you get a call when you are merit listed, or is it a given that you are merit listed when you complete your processing?

You wouldn't normally get a call for being merit listed.  If everything has been done for a few days, it might be worth calling and checking in.

Could have retaken the CFAT dis-morning but I slept in and would also like the waiting period to do more math and IQ tests and prep more for the CFAT. So I called around 3ish, seems I got the ok to re-take the test and MCpl had a look over my GED or HS Diploma and things looked good. Hoping that I can score high enough and be given a chance at BMQ and prove I can do this!

^^So my car broke down the night before and I couldn't make my CFAT. Called and they said that I had to wait for a new spot to open for the CFAT to be re-booked. So I get a call last week on friday saying I have 1 choice, either book the CFAT in 2 weeks and apply for Marine Electrician or they close my file till next year unless a spot opens for anything else. So after a couple hours and some serious thinking, I decided to go with it. So now I'm studying my butt off again so I can pass this CFAT and move forward. I just hope something comes around shortly as I have absolutely no luck on my side =\ So this is where I stand now.

UPDATE : Took my CFAT and achieved a higher score so now I'm eligible for all trades. Did an updated medical because they were worried about my medical expiring in December if I get a BMQ start date then. Now I'm waiting till 1400hrs for a new Interview for my Marine Electrician trait. I'm thinking this time around, I'll actually be getting a BMQ date set if my luck has changed at all. Things are finally looking up (The BMQ talk I overheard got me really excited).

Congrats on finally passing the CFAT.  One point though:  you applying for a trade not a trait.

Regular/Reserve: Regular ROTP
Officer/NCM: Officer
Trade Choice: LOG
Application Date: Juin 2009
CFAT: July 8th
Medical: Sept 3rd
Interview: Sept 9th
Merit Listed: Oct 9th
Position Offered: March 17th
Sworn in: July 29th

I applied for civilian university as I am almost done my degree.
A month and a half ago, I was informed that I was accepted into Rotp(Senior).
That means I was to go to Kingston to finish my bac. I was quite confused and asked
them to check and re-check to make sure.

On July 29th, I was sworn in. All my paper work and instructions were for Kingston.
On July 30th, I received a call from the recruiting center. Apparently, I am not going to Kingston.
The clerk who entered me into the system originally did it wrong. I am supposed to
continue going to my civilian university. I also have to leave August 8th
for St-Jean instead of the 14th for Kingston.

It has been a confusing few weeks. I am happy that I am in the system now and hope that everything falls into place.
I am happy that I did not de-register from my university. I would have had a panic attack if I had.

Here's hoping that everyone else's process is less confusing.

As an update, my medical delayed the application process, since I have a benign heart palpitation that needed to get checked out (ECG, 24-hour halter monitor, blood test, Doctor's note). I was cleared late May/early June.

Today I got the call to attend the NOAB, which takes place between July 5th and July 9th. NCSE remains my first choice, naturally.
