Absolutely. Judging by the OP's hometown (Quebec City) and the nature of his writing, I would guess his first language is French and that is the language he will write his essay in. Not sure if you, or others, were about to inform him of his writing deficiencies, but I just figured I'd...

There are PMQs (RHUs) at CFB Kingston right next to RMC. There is no guarantee you will be granted authorization to live off-campus during your time at RMC.  As I've posted in another thread, those cadets who are living off-campus right now are the exception to the rule and are largely...

This is incorrect.  Please ensure your information is accurate before distributing it to people who may factor it in to their decision-making process. The old Married Quarters to which you refer have been converted to office space and are now used for CDA HQ.  There are no married quarters on...

I think, for good reason, this hasn't even factored into the conversation yet at this point.  There's nothing wrong with not wanting to go to RMC.  Not everybody's lifestyle permits it.  For example, a person with dependents may make an excellent CF officer, yet find RMC to be a poor match for...

I guess my point is that I'm making a distinction between NCM MPs and commissioned MPs.  I know that the RCMP make this distinction when considering applicants.  Commissioned MPOs do not qualify for lateral.  It's worth looking into whether or not MPO would make you eligible for a lateral...

MPs, to my knowledge, are badged & recognized peace officers under the criminal code, and they do 'policing' to the extent that it is required in the CF community, as well as police work and far more in operational zones.  MPOs, to my knowledge, are NOT badged peace officers.  They are not as...

I was the first person to alert you to the fact that an RMC-only route may be the only offer you ever receive.  I also echoed, and provided additional reasons for, Brihard's idea about the reserves, which really isn't a bad idea.  They also have programs to partially subsidize university...

As much as I'm inclined to be unhelpful, I think highlighting this line from Brihard's post is beneficial. The way I understand it, you want to come to Canada and finish your degree.  If that's the case, the reserves gets you some of the experience you're looking for and spares you ever having...

Arrogant? Check. Condescending? Check. Sense of entitlement? Check. I believe we know where our funding comes from, but thanks for the education.    You say that, as a taxpayer, you have no problem with people serving the minimum and getting out.  Well, you're entitled to your opinion (if not...

Do really well in school. Find yourself as many leadership and teamwork opportunities as possible. Stay away from drugs or legal trouble. Learn everything you can about the trades you are interested in. Work really hard on everything you write/turn in as part of your application. Practice...

When they began accepting MP's as lateral applicants into the RCMP, it applied only to NCMs.  MPOs were not considered for lateral application because their job is nothing like civilian policing.  The recruiter I spoke to said that in his experience, even the NCM MPs find the adjustment to civi...

Many of us thought that.  Even those of us that were in the process of completing degrees elsewhere.  I can't speak at all to how the processing of an overseas applicant will go, but I can say that you had best be prepared to receive an offer to attend RMC, and only RMC.  The only people...

I believe the dress regs also specify rules for the wearing of nametags/nametapes.  Is a recruit to be charged if they haven't been issued proper nametapes yet?  It took us almost over 2 months to get issued our proper nametapes to wear on CADPAT.  Many of my peers, all the way through BMOQ...

I don't remember how much OUAC actually does for you when applying to universities, but I'm positive that it's not enough for RMC. When you go to RMC, you go as an Officer Cadet.  You will be enrolled as a member of the regular force (or occasionally reserve, although this is far less common)...

Nothing strange about this.  There are a few people around the college who are quite strong academically and talk about regretting not going into engineering or science programs.  That being said, all the arts students love having all their spares! Whether or not he would have been accepted...

Not to mention that not having the correct prerequisites may bar you from going into engineering at all. Best bet is to pass a memo up your CoC and/or talk to the registrar.  My guess is that your chances are not great.  Unless policy has changed (which is possible), in order to VOR into a new...

What he said.  The whispers we usually hear around here (RMC) are of students (typically in engineering) getting bought out- meaning all the costs owed because of their VR prior to fulfilling obligatory service - and going into the Civi world.  It seems to be something that people realize...

If you're a CT then you will be doing FYOP.  There are people who have done tours in Afghanistan and have their PLQ who still had to do FYOP. The only people who go to class in uniform that get to bypass FYOP are those coming from CMR St. Jean as 2nd years or those coming in as part of the...

Your best bet is to head into a recruiting center in September of your gr. 12 year.  Get the aptitude test written as quickly as possible.  Your high school marks can be provided throughout the course of the year.  The deadline is typically somewhere in January for applications (if my memory...

School supplies- At RMC, first years were given the chance to purchase school supplies from the Canex before classes began.  You will not be permitted to leave campus so your selection will be limited, and quantities are also limited.  The Canex ran out of paper before I had a chance to get...
