[quote author=AbdullahD] Problem is I'm not sure of what schools to use for the degree programs.. the Islamic schools I would use are not accredited and getting 2 years experience would be mighty inconvenient.[/quote]
Chaplain is definitely an officer occupation and one of the few requiring a DEO entry scheme.
Through the CFRG and Chaplain school in Borden, there are contacts who you guide qualified, interested Chaplains through the recruiting process.
Bring your concerns about which qualifying Canadian Islamic program is suitable, if the goal is to increase numbers, they should be willing to provide the answers. If a particular school is not accredited, there very well be solid reasons for it.
Sadly, I doubt the X number of years experience is something that can't be worked around with this occupation. I have a friend applying as a Chaplain, from a non-traditional faith, and the recruiting system is seriously working with him to meet all the check boxes, but he has to meet the requirements as well.
As with many of these highly specific questions, it really is true, speaking with the CFRC and higher is your best option to gather accurate answers.
Good luck.
