The thing is, my old past debts are over 1+ years old. Not to mention one says it has been court ordered (credit sheet handed to me by the Sgt on my interview). I never received papers or anything of the like and would like to just pay it all off and start paying towards one lump sum rather then...

Quick question for a recruiter if one could answer my question. I have previous debt. Just basically started fresh over here in Ottawa, got a job and getting things started. I'm wondering if I take a personal loan out from my bank, then putting all my previous debt onto the loan (paying off...

Best of luck with your application Sharpshooter. I know many people have different reasons for joining and you don't need to voice them because someone thinks Infantry is the easy way in. Just make sure you choose the correct occupation for yourself because doing a OT will be pretty difficult.

One could act in the same way I just happened to do so. Oshawa/Durham Region is still in a bad spot because of the whole GM shutdown and closing of some lines which in turn hurt a lot of other business (hiring of people). I just moved to Ottawa and it only took me 4 days to land myself a...

I assume it would be a yes. Keep copies of everything. That way if anything was needed once again, you could show proof of the copy or if you keep the original with you. You will always have to do a full medical each year once you get into the Armed Forces, so either way, your always in need of...

Your CFAT stays with your S/N forever. Your interview and medical only stay with you for one fiscal year (the date you had it done). You will have to do another interview and medical next year this time if you haven't gotten in by then. It's not a huge deal, nothing to cry about. You can wait...

Beautiful read. Congrats as well! I can't wait for my phone call.. I've been praying and I know I have to put some hard work into getting there, but reading this always gives me that extra boost to just keep at it. Best of luck :)

I was told this by the 2 recruiting Sgt(s) that were in the room during my interview. (One was training and the other was scoring how well the other recruiter was doing, nothing to do with my interview at all). Both told me that the owing parties could seek the money from the Federal Government...

I'm in the same vote as most people here. I have some debt that went to collections, but I know the only way to deal with it is to call a bankruptcy agent and get the advice I truly need from someone who has experience in that field and to see what my options are. After that, I e-mail my Sgt...

I would use this time to train and eat better. Wait for April (Fiscal Year) to roll around and then apply. You can redo your CFAT after 6months and the score is kept forever (Little iffy about the 6mth wait, consult the application booklet you get). You can't pick between the best scores, only...

You pretty much answered yourself. As about the status of your file. They will let you know what is going on with it, you could ask about your options if your trades are closed. It's pretty much very late in the game, and I'm pretty sure most trades are closed or are very close to being closed...

Lol, yea after reading more, I noticed it was closed. By ace the medical I meant that I'm in perfect health and score 0's on hearing and 6/6 on eye sight. The only medical note would be a broke pinkie toe from grade 9 (which is 9 years ago) so there is no problems. I was just considering more...

Can you still apply for ROTP? I've passed my CFAT for technical trades (LCIS, Marine Elec) and have aced the medical, as well as the interview I did well. The only thing hindering my entry is credit issues, so I'm hoping to go back to school so I can get a job and be more competitive on the...

Biggest Obstacle for me is financial situation. I passed my first CFAT for the trades I wanted, along with the medical. Things were slow and my trades closed so they asked if a LCIS tech trade was wanted to do, but would have to redo the CFAT to score higher. Re-took the CFAT and did just that...
