Unless I am reading it wrong, he was going to be attending RMC at 17, he just did the application process at 16. Kyrinov, I know you are frustrated, but if you read over your own experiences, you would see that blaming the Canadian Forces and saying "nobody seems interested in doing anything"...

Depending how many units are in your building, the best/easiest thing to do might be to put a flyer up in the lobby of the building looking to discuss it with someone. They can do monthly/semi-monthly inspections, respond to "emergencies" etc. Someone in your building might do that, or they...

If you have any family or good friends around the area where it is, I would recommend checking with them to rent it first. I don't know your situation, but keep in mind it is pretty hard to be a proper landlord while in the military. You might need to hire a property manager to take care of all...

Hey, so just so you know, in this particular role you may need to specifically put lives at risk in the course of your duties. In war times, you may need to order combat engineers to get a job done in a situation that you know isn't safe, but you simply don't have a choice. If you are strongly...

I never said it was that simple. There are plenty of trades which MAY require top secret, but those trades I listed absolutely require top secret. You can NOT get in those trades without top secret security clearance. Most of the other trades you can get in just fine without top secret, but it...

People are ALWAYS being removed from it too. Withdrawn applications, enrollment, changing trade choices, and more. But this topic about competition is probably better for it's own thread, not this one. Anyways, I know we all like to know these numbers about competition, but they really don't...

Well let me give you some info from my experience with everything so far. I am only in the middle of the recruiting stage, so it aint much, but it might help you. When you go to join the Canadian Forces, you are talking about a process that takes months and months. You don't even need to speak...

Not sure how old you are, but I think you are making the right decision dropping LogO from your application if it isn't appealing to you. Entering as an officer is a huge commitment, and even if you need to wait that extra year to try to get something you think you would enjoy more, it seems...

Yeah definitely shop around and try to talk to people you know who have had the procedures. $5000 for lasik sounds like a lot but I guess it all depends where you go. I am expecting PRK to cost about $4,000 too here in BC. But hey, give or take $1,000 when we are talking about something as...

Also did my CFAT today with around 10 other young hopefuls at the New Westminster, BC recruiting center. It was a lot of fun hanging out with those guys chatting it up. Then we got serious and filled out some paperwork, and did our CFATs and "TSD Personality Inventory". Then we got to hang out...

I will throw in a comment since I am also considering laser eye surgery very shortly. If I qualify for it, I would only consider getting PRK. I think any person who is physically active who qualifies for it, should get PRK if they are planning to get laser eye surgery. The recovery time is...

Yep! Just email them: [email protected] You will be able to chat directly with recruiting staff. They are usually very easy to talk to and respond in about 1-3 days.

Yes, those will do. Most of the people who aren't fresh out of high school who I have seen are also using their family friends. Are they ideal? No. But as long as they aren't related to you, you should be good to go. I recently submitted my reference sheet with all friends and family friends and...

Stability and doing well in a year in civilian life doesn't really tell the Canadian Forces much, especially in relation to diseases and disorders which may be aggravated by the stresses of military life. The bottom line is that medical doctors are experts in medicine, and we are not. If a...

The process will be the exact same as anyone else. The only difference is you will have more related education than someone who hasn't taken any courses, so that will likely put you a bit higher up on the selection list. Still gotta pass the CFAT, Medical, Interview, Background Check to make it...

Did your doctor advise you to stop using the anti-depressants? Or are they at least aware you are off the anti-depressants? I don't work in recruiting or as a health care professional in any way, but from my experience with medication, if you stop using it without doctors telling you to, they...

Tell him to email [email protected] and ask for more information. They should have been the ones to email him about the status of his application. They seem to usually respond within 3 business days so if he emails today he should have an answer monday or tuesday hopefully. Just a simple email...

It could be that everyone else who is currently applying, and being selected for processing, for infantry has a 4 or 5 right now. If they have 5,000 people applying with 5's and only 500 openings this year, they dont have any reason to process the people with lower than that. I had a similar...

Did you fail to qualify for ANY trades or just the trades you had selected? Like, were you going for Infantry and failed? A lot of IQ tests online have similar questions to practice with, so if you search for online IQ tests, you can get some more practice.
