If the CFRC has already booked your medical, I suspect you probably won't need presec. Either that, or they have not realized yet that you will need presec for some reason. Here's how my process went at the same CFRC. I lived in a different country for one year, less than 5 years ago (for...

See you there. Actually, see you at the enrolment ceremony on August 9th.

Job offer came in today, will start BMQ on August 27.

I still have not received my offer, but got confirmation from CFRC that the offer for AVS is pending and I should receive it shortly. I even managed to get the date for BMQ: August 27th.

Hi, What are the next selection dates for AVS and AVN? Thanks

Did my interview today. According to the recruiter I will be on the competition list in 2 or 3 weeks.

Based on my case, it could take as long as 1 year and 3 months. I just received my cleared security clearance and my CFAT was in January 2017. The security check itself took only 3.5 months, but many other factors that I am not aware of extended the process. The entire presec takes months to...

Security check (presec) has been completed, things are finally starting to pick up with my medical next week and my interview at the end of the month.

My ERC took 8 months to process, it is unusually long but it can happen. My file manager told me they are overwhelmed at my local CFRC, which results in longer than usual delays.

Interesting story. I am in a similar situation, I am 31, almost one year into the application process now and I feel like my current career does not satisfy me/future is not so bright. Hopefully I will be in before November 2018. The lengthy process is due to me studying and living abroad for a...

I think that is an overly pessimistic (personal) view from the recruiter and I would not be too worried about it if I were you. You will eventually be required to list all your trips abroad and add some explanations if you judge it necessary. They might bring your trip to Iraq on the table...

I sent my local CFRC a email last week after two months of inactivity on my file. The following day I received a email from them telling me I needed to attend a Pre-Security interview. Coming out of the pre-assessment, I think this is probably going to be a Reliability interview and they will...

Thanks for the clarification, I indeed confused one with the other.

In my case, I was told I needed to cover the last 5 years continuously. It didn't matter if I had known them for less than 5 years. The only thing that mattered is, I needed to be under their supervision (as an employer, teacher or mentor) for different periods over the last 5 years, without...

I was also just outside the cutoff for V4. I decided to get my surgery done at the beginning of the process, 3 weeks after my CFAT. I took advantage of a promotion (pay in one year with 0% interest) which allowed me to undergo the surgery very early and will allow me to save over the next few...
