You would have to be more specific with which trade you want to do in the Reserves to give any idea of how the training would work.  Throw a couple that your looking at out and I can comment on them.

Thanks for posting on this subject.  I helped recruit a couple awesome people for that program but ended my time at CFRC before ever finding out if the program was a success!  Thanks!

Oh wow.  Geez. On second thought, the pay isn't that good.  I know this Lawyer thats making way more than a PTE 1 would be making, and my Dr buddy, he Makes way more than a Cpl 2.  Like what gives??

Yeah it was only the north guards.  Apparently, according to the US soldier that gave the tour, it was because equipment shortages and the fact they are lazy and an all wood weapon is lighter.  They were made to look real. I didn't want to jump the gun, and it's kind of what I wanted to get at...

Well as I said before and to anyone currently in the process, don't get hung up on the reference letters.  I have done dozens if not hundreds of reference checks and trained our new staff in doing the reference checks, just pick people that are going to pick up the phone when we call and have...

I recently went to the North/South Korean DMZ.  Excellent tour and walk around of the Joint Security area.  As we moved up the MSR to it, I got the tingly feeling I used to get on my first patrol of the tour, or first patrol after HLTA.  That's one heck of a defensive.  I was told that the...

When you initially apply, they are going to need to know about that volunteer service.  While I don't work at North Bay, I would suggest, if you can't fit all your volunteer service onto the PDF Document, put, "Various volunteer experience," and the start and end dates in the one field.  This...

When they run the credit and crimanl record check, they are going to want copies of that info.  That will come later, I would suggest hanging on to it for now.

The recruiting centre will not be able to do anything with your file until your weapons prohibition is served in full or the ban is lifted.  If during the process you tell the judge its keeping you from employment with the forces you will likely be asked to provide proof of this.  The proof...

I love dealing with the 1 in 10,000 applicants, the one mountie that wants to be an MP.  That's the only reason I know this obscure Canforgen.  I thought RCMP were cleared for an MOSID until one came across my desk and had to pick another trade.

Can you submit your reference letters online?

There is a CANFORGEN the clearly spells this out.  Not on the DWAN, but I will find it and post it here. later for future reference.

Fill out your employment application (EA) properly and all your volunteer service and employment will be accounted for on it.  If you don't, you are doing yourself a serious disservice. 

If you are RCMP you can not be an MP.

Don't bother with reference letters unless you have been told to provide them, seldom used.  Also, and this changes daily and is handled differently file to file and trade to trade, but sometimes the objectives your file needs in order to be completed and ready for selection can be done...
