Hey Puck Chaser, To put a bit of context to the statistics quoted, the last line of summary "numbers do not necessarily represent those directly experiencing sexual misconduct".  So while the numbers indicated approximately a 50/50 split in caller gender it is not clear what percentage (in...

There are a few where it is an ideal degree and others where it is acceptable.  I recommend you go to a recruiting center and see what your options are. Cheers Andraste

Good afternoon, To provide a bit of logic behind the process.  The CFAT is a test of general intelligence (g) and the selection literature bears out through research that cognitive ability (g) is the single biggest predictor of success on ab initio training followed by personality constructs...

Sorry . . . I see no humour in the joke.  It may seem harmless but if that is the case I challenge anyone to say that joke in the workplace and see how harmless it is taken.  The joke is misogynistic plain and simple and the reason why some may find it funny is they cannot put themselves in the...

Agree fully . . . I think most can get the comedic satire but the problem is there are many who do not and comments like this cease to be a joke and become tolerated within the chain of command and  people being told to grow a thick skin. Andraste

Hello, You will have to complete the MPAC as it is part of the screening process which is competitive. Cheers Andraste

Hello, Education standards are set by the applicable Branch.  In the case of PSO, DEOs require a Master's in Psychology.  If a member does not have the requisite degree program then a waiver can be submitted but it is rare that education standards for some occupations are waived.  Cheers...

Hello, Regarding your degree choice "Bachelor in Technology" it is unlikely the occupation authority would accept this as a suitable degree as they prefer such degree programs as Commerce, Human Resources, Finance, Economics, Public Admin, Nutrition, Supply Chain Management.  However, having...

Hello, Since you accepted and signed as ARTY that is now your MOSID.  What you are talking about is a Voluntary Occupational Transfer (Untrained) VOT-U.  This is the process by which you indicate you are not happy in your chosen occupation and request a new occupation.  This is done by...

Hello, Can a confirm a few things . . . when you say enrolled are you currently on training, awaiting training or still at home.  Did you accept Artillery (i.e., signed on the dotted line . . . MOSID ARTY)? Cheers Andraste

Great post and good information. I will add one bit of information for those contemplating such a move.  Relinquishment current applies only those officers who have not reached OFP. Specifically you are not trained in an officer occupation and wish to continue to serve as an NCM.  We see a lot...

Hello, Unfortunately prerequisites (entry standards) for occupations are the sole domain of the occupation and can be changed based on various factors pertinent to the occupation.  If you are in the process of applying and do not have an offer then you will be held to the new ES.  If you were...

Hey Jarnharmar, Yeah it is quite a debate but I think it was put to rest some time back.  Fallon Fox prior to publically transitioning underwent HRT for over a year. Now the net effect of HRT is reduction of testosterone in to female levels (testosterone is what gives men your strength) this...

That is unfortunate as it really is base dependent . . . I used to offer the service on a drop by basis when I ran a base office.  At the very least then, you should discuss the competitiveness of your CFAT score with the PSO during your appointed interview. Cheers Andraste

Hello, So long as your tattoos are not offensive you should be fine.  WRT ear stretching . . . well . . . there is no direct policy covering ear stretching but you would have to adhere to dress regulations in that as a man you cannot wear earrings of any type while on duty (in uniform or...

Good morning, I am assuming you are talking about joining as an NCM MP and not an officer?  If you are planning the NCM route, your degree must be from an accredited Canadian University (University of Saskatchewan is such) . . . however your degree must be in either Criminology, Justice...

Hello, If you are talking about applying for ROTP then you have a broad spectrum of BEng degrees which are acceptable: civil, chemical, aerospace, computer, electrical, environmental, geomatics, mechanical.  In addition you can also take a BSc in math, physics, computer science, environmental...

Hello, If you are enrolled in the CAF, you will have to give up the beard but until that time comes and if you are attached to the beard, keep it.  Just ensure it is well groomed (i.e., neat and tidy) and you present an all around professional look for the interview and you will be fine...

Hello Kris, I am assuming your talking about the CFAT and selection interview as part of the process.  The CFAT will assess if you meet the minimum cut score for each of your occupation choices and the interview is designed to assess your fit in those occupations of choice.  If you are...
