Officer occupations – Which one should I choose?

So I'm just about to save my questionnaire and upload it, when the computer says it can only save a blank copy of my form and all the info I've typed in will be lost. Thus, I can't upload it, and thus, I can't apply.

Is there any way out of this?

There is a gadget called a "printer".  Use it.
 
The website asks you to print it, which I have done already. The problem is, it also asks for a copy to be saved and uploaded to the online portal. As you see, I can neither save nor upload it, which is why I asked the question.

The issue is uploading it to the portal. The questionnaire needs to be saved before this can be done.

I would recommend copy and pasting your information to a Word document then try saving and see what actually happens. This way you can see if it actually goes blank and if it does you do not lose all your work in the process.

If it does go blank take that information on the Word document and try saving it to the questionnaire on another computer.
 
It doesn't even let me do that. When I try to save it as a PDF, all it says is "Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this file".

I'm at my wit's end here. If anyone can suggest anything...

Is your adobe up to date?
 
If you're on a Windows computer, install one of the free "print to PDF" print drivers, and print to there.  You'll get a PDF copy of the PDF form filled out.

dapaterson, you are a LIFESAVER. I followed your instructions, and now have saved a filled-out PDF copy of my form. Thank you very much for your help.
 
Anyone have any experience getting credit/criminal record checks in England. I spent 8 months there a few years ago and now need the checks done. Most website (ie, equifax) need a current UK address which I obviously don't have. I've got emails into the companies but just thought I'd see if anyone has gone through the process.

thanks.
 
Contact the British Consulate in Vancouver at (604) 683-4421. They should be able to direct you the best.

Good luck.

Cheers
 
Hello!

I sent in an online application for the Primary Reserves about a week ago and yesterday I received a letter in the mail telling me that I needed to contact the reserve unit I was interested in joining and find out if the occupation I requested was available for enrollment (Combat Engineer). I called, left a message, and they got back to me earlier today and let me know that every occupation apart from Weapons Tech and Combat Engineer was available. So, I will have to choose another occupation to apply for and have decided to try for Army Communications and Information Systems Specialist.

My question is, how? My application and all source documents have already been submitted, so how do I go about applying for ACISS now? Do I have to resubmit my application? Do I go into my reserve unit? I'm quite confused about this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to just contact a file manager at the CFRC and if they can't do anything for you then they will likely redirect you where you need to go.

Nothing regarding the application is really that complicating, don't make it complicated for yourself.

Don't worry about what is on your current application.  Just go into the Reserve Unit that you contacted and they will take it from there.
 
Hello,
I'm having issues accessing my online application; It's giving me a message saying "your application has been disabled". I've tried calling the recruiting office but realized it's closed today and tomorrow on Remembrance Day. So how do I know my application has been submitted properly? I am planning to go to the Barrie recruiting office on Tuesday to talk to a recruiter in person and officially apply; but I want to make sure everything is okay on my application and I'm ready to enter the office on Tusday. What will I needed to bring? (Applying for Military Police), What will be done at the office?
Thank you very much,
Robyn

On your application, is MP the only thing you applied for?

If so, do you have a Police Foundations course completed and passed? Did you add that?

If you do not have a police foundations and you only applied for MP you will not be looked at.

I am eligible for all aspects of the CF according to the CFAT. However, many trades are blocked off unless you have a CIVILIAN cridential for said trade. MP was one of those trades as you are basically a cop on base so they want to simply have you trained as a soldier with a knowledge of law. The CF does not want to train you from scratch on the laws.

I would suggest if you do not have a civi Police foundations course you get one before applying for MP again.

I do have Police Foundations, I'm not 100% sure if I've added it to my application.
