Hello,
I am interested in joining the Canadian Army and am currently on the "Ready for Competition" list. I would like to know how long this step typically takes before receiving an offer.
Additionally, I am applying for the Financial Services Administrator role. Could you please provide information on the rank I would be assigned upon completing basic training and occupational training in this field?
Thank you
