Yes, almost certainly. I've got one applicant who came to me eight months after release from RegF infantry; experienced Cpl, a deployment, a few good courses, etc. it has taken almost fully a year for them to determine via PLAR that all of his courses are still good to go as a skilled applicant to our infantry reserve unit. If you want to go from regs to reserves, CT. DO NOT release, because you'll have no easy 'back in'. Sorry for the tangent.

Maybe it was unique but I found the briefs given by SISIP within MARLANT were very clear and answered all questions. I personally thought that the distribution of the information (though I don't agree with the move itself) was very well handled. Again, maybe this one office's handling of it was unique.

hmmmm - I am with you Pat. Attended two sessions on this and both times it was very clear what was happening. Both sessions were put on by the Ottawa crew involved so maybe that made a difference.
In regards to MPRR - they will not be used in this at all.
Once you sign the form it is a done deal - you can not come back later to change it. Make sure it is what you want the first time.
If you are considering retiring in the next few years do not elect to take the PIL. Your file has to be audited for release but that can not happen until the PIL audit is completed. If the Pil takes 3 years, the release takes another 6 months then you will have to wait until then before you can recieve any benefits such as your pension. If I elect the PIL and decided to retire next year I could go 2-3 years with nothing coming in while they completed all the audits.
The government would like this all paid out and to go away as soon as possible. If they had their way we would already be done it so there is no form of a cash grab on the government part in delaying things. The big delay will be the number of files that have to be done by such a small team. Glad I am not part of that team.

Actually, the biggest thing that is keeping me from taking the Payment in Lieu is that because I don't know WHEN I will receive it, I can't effectively tax plan for the money. Right now I'm posted to Ontario, and my next posting is (probably) to Quebec, with all the tax implications that come with Quebec. When I actually get this cash in my hands has a major bearing on how it is taxed. And because they aren't forecasting much besides that the audits will take "a while", I am going to be safe and keep this payment "in the bank" so to speak. Because I can control when my release date is. And to what province I move to on retirement.

If you have no prior Res F service and take half or less you'll get it almost immediately - no audit until release.

No, they mean 2013. Some folks think that if they submit their paperwork in the middle of Christmas block leave that it will magically be processed before the new year.
Again, if you've only ever served in the Reg F and take half or less as PIL your clerk will enter it into CCPS and you'll be paid on the next payrun (or possibly the one after). For a large number of CF Reg F members the process will be relatively simple and painless.

Sorry for the stupid question folks but I've been on course since May and haven't been able to keep up on this, nor talk to any clerks really.
Just want to confirm that this
"CF MEMBERS ARE REMINDED THAT ALL ELECTIONS FOR A PIL OF CFSP MUST BE MADE DURING THE ELECTION PERIOD BETWEEN 14 DEC 12 AND 13 MAR 13."
Means that I have until 13 MAR 13 to decide whether or not I want the moneys now or whether I want to receive it when I retire.
I ask because:
"TO DATE, ALL ELIGIBLE CF MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER WITH THE ESTIMATE OF THE NUMBER OF YEARS OF ELIGIBLE SERVICE."
I haven't received this yet, although all my peers have, and I'd prefer to deal with it in the new year when I get to battalion if I can.
Cheers

Before I make my election I have to find out whether the 8 years of PiL would be better off sitting in an RRSP collecting interest over the next 20 years or taking it when I release at a higher rank/pay level. ASSUMING I get promoted, have to see what the difference would be for the interest vs the increase in pay.... I imagine 8 weeks of Cpl pay sitting in an RRSP for 20 years is probably still better off than 8 weeks of Sgt or Warrant's pay at the end of my career.

Everyone's situation is different. SISIP offers inexpensive services - Id recommend giving them a call.

Its interesting to note that the RCMP have gotten or are getting theirs now or in very short order. That is not just me saying that, I have a buddy who is ex-CF who is RCMP now and he just confirmed that tonight.
