By the sounds of it, no. But I don't work at the CFRC so don't take my word for it. I'm hoping to get into that course as well. I was just told by a few people that they were called today about being references so it sounds like my file is moving along nicely.
You were merit listed last week? From what I hear, you should be getting a job offer any day.. and if you haven't yet you might want to call. From my understanding once you're ACTUALLY merit listed its unusual to go more then 3 buisness days without getting a job offer. The woman who I spoke with today at the CFRC informed me that usually once you are merit listed you get a call within HOURS not days.. so you may want to give them a call.
Best of luck!
