You have to distinguish between a recruiting "goal" and a quota.
A quota sets aside a specific number of positions for a designated group, positions that MUST be filled by that group. The CF doesn't do this.
A "goal" is a percentage that is set as a target for recruiters to aim at. "We would like to see XX percent of infantry be female", for example. The CF does do this. It does not mean, though, that there are specific seats on courses, etc. set aside for specific groups. It allows recruiting to be targeted to such groups (females are a perfect example), but doesn't permit entry to be based on being a member of a designated group.
I'm rounds expended on this subject as I am rapidly getting out of my lane. Over to those who know... I was just a bit ticked at the apparent tone of one of the posts earlier and decided to engage.
