Hi all,
Firstly, I have been visiting this forum information and I always found what I need. However, I cannot find the following questions that I am about to ask. I did find some vague answers but I want to ask you all who is reading this straight up. So thank you for all your answers.
So I recently got an offer on the phone for an EME (Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) officer for direct entry. I know the locations that I might be posted and that`s fine with me. However, here are my questions:
1) I would like to get placed in petawawa or Borden ontario. But let`s say I get placed in Edmonton. How long do I have to wait until I can request a location change?
2) When can I take time off during my first year or 2 of training to see my girlfriend, family.. etc?
3) Do EME officers still get a signing bonus? I researched about this but the answer was back in 2005 so it may of changed. I remember it was said that EME officers would receive $40,000 signing bonus. Is this still effective?
Thank you all,
Johnny
