You're entitled to your thoughts and feelings; however obviously something in your blog went against the intent of Operation Honour (sidenote: thank you Lumber for calling it "Operation Honour" - to CaptainCookieMonster, Operation Honour is not short formed to "Op").  I have been a member of...

It varies - before you're placed on the competition list your security check needs to come back, the RMO may need to review your medical. And your file may not move forward while the CAF is processing other "more pertinent" files.  When I say more pertinent this is based on the needs of the CAF...

I asked around today; it stands for "Family Doctor Letter"; not an approved acronym and not all CFRC's use it, but apparently some do.

Good Day, PRes Units are in charge of their own recruiting and training, you should reach out to the Reserve Unit you wish to join and ask your query to them as they'll have the information that you're seeking.

You are 1 of approximately 30,000 files between application and the competition list, this is on top of the approx 12,000 files that make it to enrollment (this includes PRes & Reg Force). To put a number to that, your file represents approx 0.002% of the individuals currently in the system...

I (a recruiter) concur with mariomike's post.  Honestly the individual interviewing you has the best knowledge of your file.

Rule #1 - Always be honest It is highly likely your previous file will be reviewed during the process; so it is best to state that you used to have an allergy to shellfish and it's no longer an issue.  If I were you I'd have a letter from a Family Doctor backing this up prior to starting your...

Reviewing the history of a brand new citizen is harder than reviewing the history of a citizen that has been in Canada 10 years, 20 years or their entire life. In regards to sharing your information with Canada Immigration & Citizenship; you gave them that information for your Immigration; not...

Each file is different and without knowing your medical and personal background it's impossible to state how lone the medical/physical and background checks can take.  Quickest I've seen is 2 months, longest I've seen is much longer than that. The pre-sec will depend on where you are a dual...

Please keep in mind that the CAF does not do the security / finance checks for those coming into the CAF; it's done by a 3rd party company. So the "internal issues" would be with the company. And yes it's a known issue that was being looked into, the volume of applicants that the CAF receives...

"FDL" is not an official CAF abbreviation; I'd ask your Recruiting Centre what "FDL" means to them.

I know this is super old, but ...  though several members of Vetearn's UN/NATO Canada own a motorcycle, they are not a Motorcycle Club; there is no requirement to own a motorcycle to be part of Veteran's UN/NATO Canada. Their mission is to bring our fellow veterans out of isolation, to promote a...

Just as a side note, read who DAOD 5015-0 applies to "This is a directive that applies to employees of the Department of National Defence (DND employees) and an order that applies to officers and non-commissioned members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF members) who act as managers or...

Your file will need to be reviewed by the PLAR cell; all that you can receive here are opinions and best guesses.  Start the application process, you'll go through the PLAR process and be told 100% whether you'll need to do it or not. This isn't trying not to answer your question; but even as a...

The initial contract length for all 3 of those occupations is 5 years.

Short Answer: It's only as hard or easy as you make it. Long Answer: The recruiting process is very detailed, there are several steps to enrolment, each step can cause you a hurdle (background check, medical, aptitude test, etc).  Infantry is one of the occupations that the CAF tends to recruit...

If 604-209-7158 isn't working for 12 Fd Amb you may want to try their email address [email protected] That failing you can also email 1 Canadian Field Hospital detachment Ottawa as they have contacts for all the Reserve Units - their email is [email protected]

As of today's date there are approx 45% positions remaining for SIG DEO for FY 18/19.

There are tentative numbers, as with external SIP; however your best bet is to speak with your broker as I don't have permission to post DMCPG information.

A GED is equivalent to a HS diploma, it doesn't state what courses you've done, so this may not be enough. If the occupation you're wanting to join requires specific HS courses (for example Med Tech requires Math, Bio & Chem at the HS level) then you'll have to provide more than just a GED...
