You have as good a chance as anybody else. Just because you have no job experience doesn't put you out of the running. You'd be surprised how many 30 year olds have no job experience. Depending on the occupation you want you may not need any job experience. As a former Recruiter and Career...

Sorry, your right. I've been working with Americans for the last year. I had to delete M4 and insert C7. I guess I missed the .45.

Yes I was. 32 years as a Bos'n I'm allowed to be sarcastic!!

True because none of the hard sea NCM's like Bos'n's or combat stand 1 in 2!! ::)

Go in on Monday and ask what the requirements are for ROTP.

Like everybody else is told on here. Go to a recruiting centre. They have a list of all the schools and all the acceptable courses. There are several in the Toronto area that are good for the ATIS program

Over the last several years they have run BMQ out of Bordom in January and in the summer. This was mostly to take some of strain off St. Jean. Not sure how much longer it will continue with the huge cut back in recruiting numbers this year.

Call the RC Med Section to see if anything has come back from the RMO. Being the time of year it is don't expect to much too soon.

The standing regulation is you must have fulfilled ALL commitments to the courts before your application will be processed. If all you have is a traffic ticket or a "moving violation" it will not be a big deal. Pay it and show the MCC the receipt. If you get a court ordered punishment, jail...

Usually the CF won't accept you into a SEP program unless you have more than 18 months left of school. However, I did say USUALLY. The best thing to do is like Haggis said go into a Recruiting Centre and talk to them. You can also look at a Reserve Service Battalion. You can be a Reserve AND go...

Lets do this one line at a time; hough yes a PhD will help you along your track, as cdnleaf says, I don't think it will fast track you as much as you assume it would. The higher your education and the better your marks gives you a better score when calculating your "Military Potential" So yes...

As an MCC I didn't worry too much about anything that happened before High School.  If you've done well in HS and kept on the right side of the law then a couple of suspensions in Primary School won't be that big a deal depending on what they were for.
