sorry had to fix a word - I wrote media but meant MEDICAL

Medics all need secret clearance to work in the clinic. I figured it had to do with the fact that health info is Pro B. I figured civilian RNs would need the same.

what does this mean?

Your age means very little in this case - you can apply to join until age 56, depending on the contract.

Absolutely. I just meant they will be Reg F, making their Cpl pay until they graduate and are promoted to 2Lt or Lt (or navy equivalent).

Adding to this - if you go to RMC after making Cpl in the reserves, you won't be in the reserves anymore. RMC is intended for Reg F/ROTP. Regardless, getting paid to go to school is a step ahead of your civvy counterparts.

You can be a naturalized citizen. You can apply for citizenship when you move to a new country, which when successful would make you both a citizen AND an immigrant.

You need to find a trade that requires a science related diploma or accepts any diploma. Infantry officer for example, accepts all bachelor's degrees. Heath Services Manager accepts business degrees, and some others. Talk to a recruiter about your intended degree and they can tell you what trade...

Contracts are non-negotiable. The contract length is set based on training and needs of the CAF.
