Shouldn't be an issue.  Feel free to let the RC know, as it will not raise or lower your score and place on the merit list.  As long as the new university and degree program you wish to enroll in are compatible with your occupations, it should be a non-issue.  I had a friend who applied ONLY...

They will likely ask for all available transcripts.  I had been a few years out of high school and was enrolled in a civvie U; I provided all of my transcripts. Work experience will be a factor, especially when it comes to the interview.  Presumably, more work experience will give him a greater...

To offer an alternative viewpoint... A CWO I spoke with once told me that his civilian wife was more CF than he was. When you join, your family joins too; seems to me like the OP isn't offending her fiancé's adulthood, but is an involved family member taking part in a decision which affects her...

I ran the test last week- most of RMC did.  I found the FORCE test easy, and my performance on the EXPRES is exemption, while my PPT (RMC test) score is usually in the mid-300 level (possible 500 pts), where 400+ would be an extremely high level of fitness.  So over all, I'm a little above...

When you apply (at least, as of a couple of years ago), you list your preferred institutions to study at.  Year to year, people aren't quite sure why their offers are for Civ U, RMC, or CMR except that often, students who are nearer degree completion will stay on at their school of choice, or...

The only people who get paid more are those with prior experience (reserve or reg) who are in a different pay category. The only other way people have been receiving extra pay is either by having R&Q waived for being married, and separation expense, if separated from spouses.  Not sure what the...

I'm at RMC and have friends who are in similar situations to yours, so my information is pretty current.  PM me for more specifics if you'd like, but here's the lowdown: Some recruits will be sent to CMR St. Jean for first year; others (usually from Quebec) will be sent to CMR St. Jean for...

I'm guessing he typoed 'hate' and meant to say that he would 'hate' to be released. Just a guess!

Judging by the annual explosion of hysteria and paranoia, I would guess that they only inform successful applicants until all selections are complete. 

Not sure what province you're own, but things like the ILC @ http://www.ilc.org/ offer very, very affordable high school courses which you complete from home, on your time.  If there is/are a/any high school math course/s you can take to upgrade, look into that, or its equivalent in your...

Not everyone's cut out for life in the CF.  No shame in that; better he figure it out now, while he's young and still only on BMQ, than later when it's more difficult to alter his path in life.

I agree that the OCdt salary is low; I don't agree that we get paid dirt. Factoring in free tuition, free books, and subsidized supplies, ROTP is one of the single most affordable ways to go through university.  You, as a a Civ U student, are also permitted to work a part time job to supplement...

One thing I keep hearing is that by having this unified, predictive (to whatever degree it is predictive) test, the CF ensures that there is a standard which must be met, and will stand up in court or human rights tribunal. In your hypothetical situation, what happens if someone fails the CA...

So what do you do when you write papers (if you do; hypothetically if you don't) for political science (especially Canadian politics) or international relations courses?  Spout party lines? Just curious. 

Questions like this are not well received because nobody knows your chances because it's all about how you compare to your competition.  Without access to the files of all RMC applicants in the year you're going to apply, nobody can provide more than vague impressions as to whether or not you're...

RMC is a military university, which, as you should know, has a unique selection process. Unless the timeline has changed significantly since my application, applicants are advised to apply early in the academic year prior to the year they want to attend RMC.  For example, the best idea is to...

Brihard is correct. I'm not sure exactly how the pay scale carries over- whether you're paid the reg force rate for your former rank or not, but however they do it, you get paid a lot more than ROTP recruits off civi street. What the hell does this matter?

I forget the exact amount for rations, and quarters depends on which building you live in and whether you're in a single or double room.  You can expect to take home ~500/month, although you get a raise of like 30/month each year.  Not big money, but better than accumulating debt.   Good is a...

Cut a slit so that your cap badge can be inserted; all berets are issued this way.  Put the slit where your cap badge will mostly cover the stitching that you see, and form your beret so that your cap badge will sit over your left eye. If you're nervous that you'll screw it up and ruin your...
