I think I'm probably not the only one wondering this. It may be a while before I can get to the recruiting center in Edmonton. I was wondering if theres a way to go through this proccess from a distance. I figured at most I'd talk to someone and they'd tell me I have to come down there anyways. I want to know if its possible before I call that number. Im 18, all I have is grade 10. I have been considering the army for some time. Can anyone help me out here?

No, you can't join the army from a distance, it would be like some refugee joining the canadian forces. ( dont want to be mean)
I am not sure, if i understood your post but here i go
Reasons you cant do it online/from distances is because you cant do your testing from a distance You cant attach a web cam and do your ur pushups, medical etc.
Sorry man, your gonna have to do that. this way they also see how you look like and who you are.
BTW - if you used search you will find someone already talkin bout this I don't want to do it for you though.

Registering an account, and making a post, then logging off in under ten minutes raises suspicions as to your intent.

I first joined the forces through a recruiting centre 300 km's from my home back in '95. The recruiting process was pretty much the same for my recent re-enrolment with the removed convenience of being able to drop in whenever I wanted. All of my testing and interviewing was done on the same day, and I was provided transportation for the day of my swearing in. My memory isn't great, but I think all other transportation was out of my own pocket (but hey, that was, what fifteen years ago).

You are mistaken.
It is absolutely possible to join the CF from remote areas..
You are tested locally at contracted sites (fitness clubs, hospitals etc.) or transported (at crown expense) to a testing centre of the CFs choosing.
For example, when you join from a remote location in the NWT, they fly you to Yellowknife for certain tests, but the preliminary ones are done in your hometown.
Don't let the distance scare you, the CF picks up the tab, from bus fare to plane fare and all the meals along the way. Being recruited from a distance only costs you your time.

Kenny and GO!!! make sense to me. I'd go with their info. The CF wants you to join, so they'll do everything they can to give you the chance.
As for the rest of you: start putting more effort into your posts. Any more of this MSN shit, and I'll take appropriate measures.

That's what I mean... how could anyone on this board (save for perhaps maybe someone working in a CFRC right now) know exactly what they need from you given current timings, policies, canforgens, and your availability? Certainly not more than your own file manager.
Just give the CFRC a call, ask what you need, ensure you understood, and go from there.
