Hi, long time lurker, first time poster.
So earlier this week I went to Cartier square drill hall in Ottawa to the recruiting office, as I want to join the reserve in an infantry regiment and the Governor General's foot guards seem like a good idea. I talked briefly to a couple of guys in the recruiting office. I was told that there was possibly recruiting for may, and September. I left my name and contact info on a sheet of paper, and then the recruiting officer eventually arrived and told me he was busy that night but he was doing interviews next Tuesday and so, asked me if I could come by at 2045. I said yes of course and then he went on his way.
Now I'm just wondering what kind of interview this is? I'm puzzled because I thought you were supposed to pass the physical and cfat before getting an interview when enlisting. Unless the process is different when joining the reserve? I wrote an email to the recruiting cell asking for more info but they haven't replied, at least not yet. Is this right? Do I already have an interview before doing the physical, does that happen? Or did I misinterpret the recruiter? He clearly said he was doing interviews, but did he mean info sessions? If this is indeed a formal interview, what paperwork should I bring? I have already filled out my recruiting papers and everything, but do I need anything else? Birth certificate, sin card, etc?
Thank you very much for your input guys!
