Because it’s a website updated manually and it is low priority compared to all the other things that need to be done? If you received a course date of 24 Mar 25, there will be a course that starts that day.

The website is manually updated, as in done by hand. As mentioned everyone is on leave so it won’t be updated until 6 Jan 25 at the earliest.

What urine test? There is no drug testing done during recruiting. Full stop. You fill out a questionnaire honestly, they will go over your questionnaire with you and that’s it. The main issue would be if you could not stop using cannabis for the 8-9 weeks you are at BMQ. If there is concern...

Don’t bring any of that stuff. You won’t be allowed to use it. They won’t throw it out but they will put it in civvy lockup and give it back to you at the end of BMQ. The point of BMQ is to teach you how to do stuff the army way with the equipment the army gives you. as for the accent, if you...

Nothing has formally changed. It is still on a case by case basis.

The vision standards are not hard to find. Google CAF visual acuity and the first or second result gives you this: Appendix 1 of Annex A - Instructions for Testing Visual Acuity - Canada.ca Take your UNCORRECTED visual acuity (not prescription, acuity which is expressed as 6/6 or 20/200), and...

Pilot is closed until the next fiscal year. Reg F military police requires a police foundations diploma before joining. PRes MP does not but they do not carry badges or do policing (in patrol dress and police cars) the way Reg F MPs would. As a DEO you would enter as an OCdt during BMOq...

Could you just grow a beard instead? The only time you need to be clean shaven is for gas hut, and it doesn't need to be smooth, just shaved so you get a good seal?

this got asked over on reddit and the CFLRS Commandant (verified by the mods) posted this answer: "I love this rumour. The coffee in the kitchen is standard military coffee. It's hot, black, and free, but certainly not decaf. Inside the Mega there are a number of Canex-owned vending machines...

They can go to the field but not to do infantry stuff. If you want to do infantry stuff, join infantry. Later, if you are tired of the field, you can ask to change trades. Not guaranteed but it is the only way you can have your cake and eat it too.

I’m not so sure they are correct, given what I’ve seen over the years MMT personnel don’t spend a whole lot of time in the field doing infantry stuff. Once they are traded qualified, they are working in their warehouse. Their job is to supply materials, manage material materials, order...

If you are keen on doing infantry stuff, join the infantry. Other trades are usually too busy doing their actual job to worry about learning infantry stuff. We all learn the basics of how to be a soldier, and every so often we go to the field and shoot weapons and do gas hut and ruck marches...

You should contact the CFRC in Toronto. If your address is Toronto, the application was likely sent to the Toronto CFRC.

Cowboy posted that 14 years ago... he might not be in this forum anymore...

This. This is the best way to put it. Also definitely start training NOW. Whether or not you get an offer (as offers are never guaranteed just for applying, like any other job), use this time to get yourself in the best possible shape. That way if you do get an offer, you will be ready. If you...

Well you won't get permission to go during class very often, so that will help. And the class periods are typically only 40 min, with a 10 min break in between (which is sometimes the exact amount of time needed to get from one class to the next as a platoon.)

What do you mean, no coffee? There is coffee at the kitchen, and there are vending machines for coffee in the green and blue break areas.

Access to your car during the indoc period will be dependent on your staff. You will need to request permission to go to the parking lot to start your car. You could make friends with people on other platoons and if you trust them enough, have them start your car. Really though, your car should...

As long as you have not signed your contract you can still decline. Once you sign the contract and get sworn in, the process is a little more cmplicated.

I spoke to my CFRC when they offered me a job. I had to defer for reasons different than yours but equally valid to me. They put me back on the competition list to wait for the next round of selections. 4 Months later I got an offer I was then ready to accept. It's been 15+ years that I have now...
