mathabos said:So now that many of us have received the call we can relax. Well that is kind of hard to do.
I do not have to worry about life after university but it is still stressful to try and figure out the next few steps.
Now I am excited to know when the information package will be arriving and what are its contents.
I was also wondering if an offer could be revoked. As It would burst my new found happiness bubble.
Hopefully we will not have to wait long for all of our swearing in ceremonies.
Best of luck to all of you.
See you on the other side
gwones said:Hey guys,
I got the call today and found out that I was not selected for ROTP this year. On the phone with the Sergeant, I was given a few options available to me right now; 1) Go to post-secondary institutions to continue with education and re-apply, 2) Join the Reserves, or 3) Apply for NCM occupations.
I'm glad I did the NCM occupation research way ahead so I was able to tell him right at the second that I wanted to go with option 3. AES Op is the most appealing trade for me, therefore; it's on top of the list and I will hear the news by next week. Armoured Soldier is not available until in June, and Infantry is also open.
It's unfortunate that I will not be among this crowd this fall but on the bright side, there's still a door open.
Best of luck everyone,
Cheers!
31engnr said:I recieved an ROTP Selection Letter email and I am unsure about one paragraph. It says, "Under the terms of the plan, you will be subsidized for up to 4 years depending on the accreditation that you may receive at Collège Militaire Royal Saint-Jean to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering. You will be enrolled in the MOSID of 00207 MARS." I don't understand what it means when it mentions CMR Saint-Jean. I didn't apply to go there and I had a civilian university as my fisrt choice. Did anyone else have something like this in their letter/email?
mathabos said:First question. Are you from Quebec? If you are from Quebec there is no grade 12 in high school. Therefor Quebecers are sent there in order to complete necessary pre-university courses. I was told by recruiters that applicants who have not started university are most likely to be sent to RMC regardless of the fact that Civi university was their first choice.
In my case I had already completed one year of university when I applied. I am currently completing my second year. So in that case they do not make you lose those last years of university by sending you to RMC.
Funny how you will be completing a bachelor in engineering as a MARS
Call your recruiting office. They have been so informative in my case, im sure they can explain everything.
NO Hopeful said:Does the CFRC call a potential applicant no matter what? Also, how do they decide if they are going to call or e-mail someone? I am just curious. I guess, as I have stated earlier, I am getting a little antsy. I think if I don't hear anything on Monday, I will call Tuesday.
Also, have any nursing hopefuls heard anything yet?
Once again congrats all who have been selected so far and I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rest of us!!
Dou You said:Good luck gwones! Although one door may be closing another opportunity has opened up for you and I commend you for looking at the call you received as a positive rather than negative. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your application towards AES Op...you never know, we may be working on the same aircraft together one day! ;D Take care, cheers!
VBanks said:Hey Everyone
Congratulations to everyone who has received good news, and good luck to everyone still waiting - if it's meant to be, you'll get that call. If not, don't worry; God has better plans for you!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I was accepted to RMC for Engineering, and I was accepted into Armoured - is there anyone else who's going armoured?
See everyone in August, or whenever we meet - I can't wait!

On another note,
to those who received the news by phone, did you receive an email or a letter to confirm after?

Smackimus said:Hi again,
Quick question for anyone that has already received more information... My file manager told me that I should be expecting my enrollment ceremony to be around late July- early August, but aren't RMC ROTP cadets supposed to start a nine week IAP course that starts early July prior to the start of the school year?
Thanks in advance!
