This is one of the things I was referring to by misinformation. There is no such pool. If you are successful as an applicant you will be offered a job in a specific trade. You are guaranteed that trade if you can successfully complete training and maintain the necessary medical requirements...

Your competitiveness is determined by many factors such as education level, grades, CFAT and TSD scores, work experience, leadership experience, volunteer experience, interview, etc. Race, religion, and anything in that vein plays zero role in the application process. Nobody here can give you a...

There is zero harm in applying. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Every applicant is ranked against one another and sure, there will be applicants with more volunteer experience than you, but they may not have scored as well on the CFAT as you. It's all about how well you stack up overall, and...

You've obviously not done any smart research because several people here have told you exactly what the test entails. One of the posts even gives you an official PSP link showing you videos of each component and surprise, surprise, that information is also linked on the CFLRS website at the...

Many would be misinformed then. A spoiled vote is not a protest vote. Under the current Elections Canada system it is a wasted vote. They aren't treated like a proper ballot and counted as a rejected ballot without differentiation between someone who intentionally messed it up and someone who...

Well, I can't help you with the reasoning for that, I'm just relaying my experience. But it might be possible that there is a disconnect here because the OP is interested in ROTP, whereas you applied through the NCM route. Thus, the recruiting processes might not be similar (true even within the...

I think it's always better to keep moving forward with your education in case you don't get accepted into the CF. I'd say going to college for a year and excelling (while adding volunteer work, etc.) looks better on an ROTP application. It shows that you are suitable for the program because you...

Looks like there's a bit of a catch on that $200 million: Fine print on Ottawa's $200-million veterans fund: It'll take 50 years to pay Headline Quote:

Don't worry about your previous shortcomings (not a jab), worry about things that you can improve on. High school is in the past and there is nothing you can do but focus on your university courses, extra-curriculars and so on. Also, if it's any consolation I dropped out of high school in Grade...

OK then what is the point if I am missing it. Also where did I say I don't give a fuck and where did I say everything is cool? You're really all over the board here and making zero sense. Edit: Just to be clear, I'm absolutely not saying that I don't give a fuck and that everything is...

The war on terrorism isn't being fought by the military on American soil. It is being fought by intelligence agencies, the TSA, and law enforcement of all levels. The military aren't the ones who have been infiltrating and successfully stopping terrorist activity within the US and Canada. At...

If you base decisions in your life on Machiavelli's works you are in for a short career in the CF or no friends. Possibly both.

How do you account for the China's improved economic performance after their stimulus in 2008 though?

If in 20 years our brightest minds are using words like "shiz" we are in serious trouble.
