BMQ 2018 - Regular Force

[Alpha 31]

When are the intake dates for the B.M.Q. ?  I have passed all the qualifications for Infantry Soldier and my file is currently merit listed for a position.  The recruiter at the centre explained that it would take an estimated two week time frame before they would contact me for a job offer.  I am wondering if when they call to give you the date to attent the B.M.Q. what the time line is from the call to attending the B.M.Q.  to get all your personal affairs set in place before you go. 

I only choose Infantry on my application and I am wondering if all Infantry applicants who are offered a position attend the 10-week Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) course at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec ?

As far as I know from last speaking to the recruitment office, my file is merit listed in Borden Ontario for Infantry solider.  Is this position in high demand right now ? I am eager to giddy up.

The BMQ's have constant intake dates.  The trade you want, and the positions available in that trade are what determine how quickly you will get picked up.  Considering the time of year, you should be prepared to leave pretty quickly.  Sometimes you get a few weeks notice and other times you are notified,enrolled and gone in even less time.

Furthest one I've seen so far is November 13th. So maybe that one or one later in the month, but because of Christmas leave Nov 13th COULD be the last BMQ intake, I'm not sure. I know there is a cut off date so that recruits can reach a certain point in BMQ before Xmas leave.
