For those of you who also received an offer, will you be doing BMOQ this summer? I was told that I would do OJT this summer and BMOQ at a later time, which is kind of confusing me.

I mean worst case you could just keep your application open and wait until next year if there aren't any slots left, but yeah it sucks I was aiming for Int O too. Yeah I've heard of that too, it seems like you need pretty good connections to get in sadly.

Hopefully. For pilot they had already chosen the people by october/november which means that people had finished their application process the previous year and just waited one year for new slots. I think that's what happened with Int too, but ask your recruiter to be sure. Good luck.

Are you applying through DEO or ROTP? My recruiter told me that they weren’t giving out slots for ROTP Int O anymore, but that they’d still interview people for the role.

CELE usually stays open for a while from what I've seen so you should be good. My recruiting center was fully empty, but for some reason they still won't let me book an interview yet.

I'm not sure, those are 2 of the 3 I applied for, so I wouldn't know for the rest. But since there are a lot of very niche occupations that only accept a handful of applicants a year, I doubt it. I know for a fact that AERE O and the combat arms officer positions are still open. Not sure...

I went to my local recruiting center today and I was told that Intelligence Officer through ROTP is closed as there were too many applicants and no more slots were left. Same thing for pilot.

I believe so.

You never know. So many people end up refusing offers or giving up on the application process midway. If you’ve already done everything else, all you can do is wait and hope for the best. If not, try to ace your interview and show them that you’d be a perfect fit for AEC. I’m not sure...

For non aircrew trades, the CFAT used to count the most, something around 50-60% of the application, but now that they aren’t making recruits take the CFAT anymore I’m not sure if they’ll even take it into consideration. Academic grades will probably have the biggest importance. As for aircrew...

The army has overall almost double the active personnel of the RCAF so there’s generally more place for advancement and, if I’m not wrong, most of the high ranking officials come from the army. There’s also all the interesting courses like para training, but that’s not really related to better...

That’s understandable. I’m currently studying Aerospace engineering so AERE O would be a perfect fit for me, but from what I’ve seen, the army provides you with more opportunities and I wouldn’t want to miss out on that.

I also applied for AERE officer. What’s your reasoning for choosing that as opposed to the other trades? It seems like it’s one of the more popular trades.

Alright thanks a lot, that's good to hear and congrats! Would you say having already started university improved your chances for ROTP? I know they offer very few spots for Civ-U ROTP and don't really know what to do to improve my chances other than getting good grades. No worries, that's...

Thank you for the information. I am applying through ROTP as I am in my first year of university, but I might just finish my degree and apply through DEO as it seems to be more feasible. Was this the sheet you were talking about...
