Nice, i was talking to my CFRC yesterday and i was medically cleared as of Monday and they said i should be merit listed by the end of the week, Monday at the latest.  So if offers are being made 48-72 hrs after being merit listed, hopefully i will get the call next week. *Fingers crossed*

It's a waiting list you get put on to wait for the offer, once you complete your application.

Funny, I was told the same thing.  Depending on when you get listed - we may end up on the same BMQ and/or 3s course

They will ask you to get further information from the person that treated you.
It will slow your process a little bit since you need to get some papers filled out.

phionex,

You may want to ask your recruiter if your reference form needs to be re submitted.
The new form asks for 5 references.  Same thing happened to me and I lost a wek or two of processing time.

 

[phionex]

He was the one that told me I didnt need it

[phionex]

No I pefer the Tan Beret or the Maroon Beret

 

[Nfld Sapper]

No I pefer the Tan Beret or the Maroon Beret

Concentrate first on passing your BMQ/SQ/Trades courses before think about those berets.

:brickwall:

One bite at a time, dude. Who knows, maybe you'll LOVE armoured (in case you get it) and then will spend the rest of your life amusing your buddies about the para Coy sleeping in the frozen mud...  :tank2:

******  UPDATE ******​

Everything went well during my interview and medical.  However I new twist was added to my application process.  Atleast it was new and unexpected to me.  After the approval of my medical I will be scheduled to write a NAV Test.  The NAV Test has to be completed and have a passing grade before merit listing is granted.  I was not expecting this and was not advised prior.  I guess this test is quite extensive.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Any feedback on this test?
