    You know we do have a subsidized education program i.e. ROTP - why wait 2 years

    Recruiting in Vancouver

    Vancouver and Victoria are fully staffed med side and have always only had one PSO.  Different occupations are needed at different times so sometimes the process can take longer from one occupation to the next.

    Voluntary Release (VR) from Reserve - anytime [Merged]

    Fitness Testing Everyone has a good theory about fitness testing and if your theories worked in the real world you'd think they wouldn't already be implemented?  Crantor brought you the perspective of what it was like working at the recruiting centre. People passed the test before going to...

    Voluntary Release (VR) from Reserve - anytime [Merged]

    Well it looks like this is really two threads one on VR'ing and one on the fitness test, both of which i have an opinion on and a great deal of experience with. First I will talk about VR'ing. If during a selection interview a candidate is asking me questions about the VR policy that raises...

    Occupational and Component Transfers (OT/CT/VOT) During and After BMQ (Merged)

    If you really want to try for  armour don't accept the offer for cook.  Do study before retaking the CFAT. Do not try for reassignment at St. Jean - as it is a bit dishonest to accept something while your real intent is to try to switch - bascally you will be expected to meet your committment...

    The "Wanting To Join Another Military" Thread- Them To Us- Us To Them

    Would you be coming here as a permanent resident?  Some people look to transfer directly into the Canadian Forces - if that's you there are a lot of hurdles to climb - so about 6-8 months before your contract is up I would contact a recruiting centre and explore the possibilities of making a...

    Options on joining, worried about wages...

    I would have to agree it will certainly be tough at first, actually doubly tough in that in the past year they got rid of separation expense so that now you have  to pay you mortgage/rent as well as rations until you are linked with your family - so that is another $600 bucks a month coming out...

    Interview advice (merged)

    I agree with you.  No one should go into a recruiting centre and be come out feeling worse then when they went in - even people who are counselled out.  If they don't qualify they can be given info that they can use to meet the standard - be re-motivated to return to the centre when they have...

    International medical student - CF MO

    If you finished your medical school/training abroad - you could be sponsored by the CF if you were accepted into a Canadian Residency program in an area acceptable to the CF (for example family medicine).  It is your responsibility to find that program on your own and get accepted into it - the...

    2 questions I see all this info on IR but with respect to SE - my benefits still are ending in Feb 13? As in now stands? I have been on IR for a few months what happens if I want to end it and have my family move with me here?  What do I have to do - initially the base authorized my IR for the...

    Long stretches of Leave w/o Pay? (merged)

    I think that if you get out to go backpacking you are rolling the dice when it comes to getting back in.  Besides the minimum one year waiting period to re-apply you, as previously mentioned, may have to complete a pre-security clearance that could take a year or more.  That might not even be...

    TCAT-PCAT info and questions ( merged )

    You case seems to be very tricky and you should talk tot the JPSU/IPSC again. The problem as i see it is that when the decision comes down - do your entitlement differ because you are now no longer on Class B? you know having worked over 180 days on full time paid service.  Ask them as well if...

    Let's just talk about this a little shall we. There are an awful lot of policies in recruiting and I can tell you straight out that it is impossible to know everything about everyone.  I said recruiters are right more often then not - but in some cases there is no harm in double checking.  That...

    Justice Institute of British Columbia - Education not recognized

    Just to get this straight - you say interesting development ....and that someone you talked to at JIBC is wondering how to get their program approved and you are seeking assistance in this regard. Given that they already have one of their programs approved ...isn't that in and of itself a...
