    Officer occupations – Which one should I choose?

    Presumably, if you ordered it now, it wouldn't include your completed Grade 10 marks.  So, I would wait.

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    I'm confused by this... I thought they did the screening after your interview.  Maybe it's different with each CFRC or maybe I just don't have the steps straight.  When I tried to give them all my "screening" docs after I did the CFAT they said they didn't want them yet.

    Criminal Records Check - CRC (Merged)

    Agreed.  As a lawyer, no one here should be providing you with advice regarding what type of plea you should be making.  That is the job of your criminal lawyer.  Even if you provided all the facts and we believed you, it would be wholly inappropriate for anyone to make a recommendation.  Speak...

    I suspect, at this point, none of us non-ROTP, etc, types will hear anything until June, at least.

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    I would ignore them. Call every two weeks or so. As many people like to say, the CF doesn't owe us jobs... But they are an employer that can take 2+ years to recruit. I do recruiting for my firm and I get emails and calls constantly. It's the nature of being a business that actively recruits. I...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    For sure they do... I spoke with a recruiter at CFRC Hamilton and was told that ROTP, Medical and Dental officers were priority.  Everyone else would have to wait for an unknown time for their interviews and medicals (she said maybe next month or the month after).  I would think if your trade...

    Haha, my apologies.  I just assumed everyone else in the UK besides the English would be trustworthy.  I mean really, what kind of bad things can you even get up to in Wales?  Sheep-tipping?  Public kindness? Well I guess I fall somewhere in between those times.  We'll see.  At the rate my...

    Do you mind if I ask why you needed to do a police check in England?  I lived there about four years ago and was under apparently the false impression that detailed background checks weren't required for certain countries.  What did you need to do to get the police check?

    Advice for tough situation

    Just my  :2c: As a preface, I am a lawyer in Ontario, but I have no information on employment law specifically (other litigation matters).  However, I suspect  you should be able to speak with someone for free.  Do a bit of research online for "wrongful termination" and "employment lawyer" in...

    Election 2015

    100% accurate.  The same thing happens in Washington with administrative issues.  The journalists in the political centres are too insulated to know what anyone outside of those areas cares about.  The news cycle feeds their need to make scandals out of nothing.  When it comes to the election...

    Officer occupations – Which one should I choose?

    I don't have a clear answer, but I can tell you what I did for education. I put high school and university under education and all other certificates, etc under "other". I also put approximate month/year for when they were obtained. However, if you have the actual certificate, wouldn't it say? ...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    I hope for your sake that's the case, although I suspect it's a total crapshoot and will depend on the demand for the job and the recruiting centre.  Do you know if your trade choices are open right now?  Maybe DAA can help with that.  Are they all open now because it's post-April 1?  I've heard...

    Again, thanks for your responses. I will maybe draft a letter to put in my file explaining my debt.

    Credit Check Superthread- Merged Topics

    I appreciate your response.  To be fair, and to be a lawyer, you didn't specifically say that a large amount of debt wouldn't be considered, as a factor separate from delinquency.  You said various things plus "etc".  There was some suggestion that the mere existence of a substantial debt would...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    Ok so I'm passed stumbling block A.  I had my CFAT and TSD and was advised that I passed.  I did prep after a thorough reading of these forums (thank goodness because the math would have done me in).  I was told my interview will take some time as they're prioritizing pilots.  "Don't quit your...

    I get my credit report every 3 months because I got bamboozled into the Credit Alert program and I've been too lazy to cancel it.  :-\  I know that my debts are in the normal range for someone with a law or medical degree.  However, for most people it's an obscene amount of debt with no assets. ...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    Haha, no they sure didn't.  However, I have been advised by someone else that went through the process that I should expect a 1.5-2 year wait.  So I'm fine with that.  I have a job for the time being and could probably use the time to get into shape. What, if I may ask, is the extra required...
