    If it's been more than 1 year since your initial medical you will need to do a medical questionnaire to update the CFRC on your medical condition, and from there they will decide if any part of the medical needs to be redone.

    PRes DP1 Changes & Signals Intelligence Specialist DP1

    The 3-6 weeks chunks of time ARE the broken down mods for reservists. Ideally your DP1 could be done in the summer, with a mod done online at your home unit, a mod done in person at the school, and another mod done at your home unit again. Most courses need to be taught at the school related to...

    Application Process Samples [ 2019-present]

    Keep in mind that just because someone gets accepted while on a certain medication doesn'r mean everyone will. Also, just because some people take meds for a certain condition doesn't mean this is the right path for everyone with that same condition. Your doctor is the best person to talk to if...

    No Valid References

    You need to find 3 references who can speak to your work ethic covering the last 5 years. They don't need to hang out with you on weekends, or be your biggest fan, but someone who can say "BurnerAccount429 was my student from 2022-2024 and did their work on time. No behavioural problems. Welcome...

    I want to hear about where your interest for the military comes from!

    My dad was military, my husband was military, it just seemed like a logical career path. Mind you it took a long time for me to decide to join (I was over 30 when I joined).

    Toolbox

    I'll be honest - I've never seen such a thing, at BMQ or since. Not to say it doesn't exist, but in my 15 years, I've never even heard of it.

    Seeking Advice on Eyeglass Prescription and Canadian Armed Forces Medical Standards

    the CAF doesn't care what your prescription is. What you need to effectively compare your eyes to the vision standards is your visual acuity. What is your vision when you look at an eye chart. Are you 6/9? are you 6/60? You need to look at each eye's score individually and then compare tot the...

    Reserve BMQ summer date change

    I would believe my unit. A month ago, there may have been spots available but you were not enrolled yet (or even had an offer tendered to you at that time). Reach out to your unit again and mention that you are available, eager and willing to do the 8 Jul 24 BMQ (if you are) and/or to find out...

    Step 2 application

    It says right in the image you posted to contact your CFRC to proceed to the next step. The process can take up to a year (or more!) to complete. They are trying to speed it up but the green machine moves slowly.

    Joining the army as FSA

    That's likely because what you will do as an FSA is miles apart from what an accountant or other financial services advisor would do civvy side. Military FSAs do travel claims, pay bills, and some other stuff. But they don't really touch the unit's finances or personal finances.

    Infantry

    That will depend on your availability and theirs. If you are applying for reg F (full time) you do not do the force test prior to leaving for basic. Only reservists do it prior to enrolment. The medical exam may also need to be reviewed by the RMO in Ottawa, prior to approval.You also need an...

    Background-Check/Security-Screening Processing: Summer BMQ possible?

    If you have completed all the steps (medical, interview, force test, CFAT) then the rest is a waiting game. You are never guaranteed of an offer, so I would not hold my breath for a summer BMQ this late in the season. Only way to know with more certainty is to contact your recruiter and ask if...

    How long will it take to get to bmq

    keep in mind at 16 you also need your parents to sign off on your application. You are never guaranteed a job just for applying so depending on how long it takes you to get through all the steps, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years from the time of applying to get to BMQ.

    DND2780

    Depends on how many applications are received at the same time as yours and how they get sorted when received. That part I don’t know about. Also what you consider normal/healthy and what they consider normal/healthy for military service can be 2 different things. Really looking at anywhere from...

    DND2780

    You bring the form to your doctor, have them fill it out, and then return it to CFRC for review. They will forward it to the RMO’s office with your file and if approved, your file will continue processing.
