I browse this forum and old.reddit.com/r/canadianforces in the weekly recruiting thread.  There doesn't appear to be a lot of movement for new DEO offers.  There's apparently a BMOQ serial being run in November 2020, but it's not clear to me whether that's for new offers generated since the...

The intake was actually posted sometime in April/May I believe.  It has since been removed within the last month or so.  I suspect this is because of the pandemic and shifting priorities. 

The reply is for OP who I suspect is looking for at least the most technically minded postings for engineers.  These are the closest they'll get to technical engineering work without being a civilian. Oh and OP, I'm a former officer turned public servant.  Being in the PS is by far the better...

Nice, that's reassuring.  I'm in the process of trying to re-enroll.  No response from MCC/file manager in over 7 weeks.

^A number of similar stories on reddit.  I'm guessing there's a lot of people working from home, but of course, with limited DWAN capable devices, there likely isn't a whole lot being done.  I'm a public servant in another government agency, but we were well prepared for this (laptops, VPN...

No clue.  I would think they happen within close proximity.

Reddit's the bomb :P (army.ca is pretty good too ;))

The CDS in his latest letter from 17 April says the following: I can't make sense of if he means increasing the number of people loaded on each course to ameliorate the bottleneck this is causing on training throughput, or increase recruiting targets CAF wide, or both, or something different...
