Deadline on January 31st is the deadline to apply. Offers for ROTP and RMC go out till June. They just urge us to apply way earlier than that because of how slow everything moves.
The acceptances I have all require a decision by the first half of May: U of C and U of A are 1 May, and Dalhousie is 15 May.
Oh, I see, my bad. I doubt this will become a problem for you as you will have completed every stage of testing for your application before the 31st, which is still really early compared to a lot of applicants, so if you have a decently competitive application you'll probably get in by April latest.
Nothing as of yet, online says I'm selected but no phone calls/emails about any offers. Heard that a wave of offers got sent out a while earlier and the next one is around Feb 15. Idk how long it takes for Borden to make an offer but hopefully it wont be too long lol
Awesome! Fingers crossed over here aswell, now just gotta wait for that special phone call hahaThanks. Just emailed the MCC and he told me my file was deemed suitable for the Jan / Feb selection board. Hopefully I will hear back soon. He informed me that an applicant is only placed on the competition list AFTER an RMC offer is given, and that an RMC offer essentially guarantees you a spot for your trade, effectively selecting you from the competition list. Hopefully this means you got in
I was told by my recruiter that "RMC has already found you suitable for admission into an arts program" but I haven't done my interview yet. I wonder if this means the same thing.Thanks.

Not sure if this means you got an offer or if you were found suitable for the selection board (as in you meet the requirements to apply). Either way, it's good news! Good luck on your interview
When'd you get your RMC application in?
October
Oh same. How'd you find out? Did you just ask or did you get an email or something?
I emailed the recruiting center and asked them when I'd get an interview and medical and then they just told me RMC had found me suitable for admission. Now that I think about it it likely just means I met the minimum standards.
I did DND contract last two summers and it took a month and maybe +1/2 weeks
I'm really worried about this too. I immigrated to Canada four years ago and only became a citizen a year ago, so my security clearance might take way longer from what I've heard.
Sharing some personal experiences... I moved here 2016 and obtained citizenship Apr 2023. My DND staffing process began May 2023 and my security clearance was approved 27 Jun 2023. I don't think you need to worry too much!
Seems like the security clearance actually takes a while. I’ve been on it a bit over a month now despite living in Canada my entire life. They might have taken a break during Christmas tho
Not sure if CFRC does but block leave was 4 weeks during the winter. When did you finish your validation info / sign your security screening form? Shouldn't be that long. I'm not sure if they actually tell you that your RS gets approved or not or if they just proceed with the next step of the recruiting process
December 19. They told me they would contact me as soon as the security clearance is finished
