So reading through the entire ROTP 2011-2012 thread... I have decided to adopt this motto!  :blotto: Also, it is going to be quite amusing to see who will post about their bogus acceptance call on April 1st.  ;D

Hey, I think it may be a little more than just that. I am also a second year civilian University ROTP applicant and I received no such news. I'm waiting for an answer like the rest of the 2012-2013 thread.  :) I bet that you were probably on top of the merit list for your primary occupational...

If you don't mind me asking, why did it take nearly 2 years after completing your aptitude to get called back for the medical? Congrats on your offer though! I applied into ROTP as an Engineer Officer and should be hearing some news by mid April!

I took the opposite approach. I attempted to portray the most clear, attractive and unique message in the fewest amount of words possible. In my experience I've learned that when it is your duty to go through seemingly countless amounts of similar text over and over (keeping in mind that you...

I bet this has a lot to do with the fact that the Federal Government fiscal year end is on March 31st. They most likely have to wait for the budget before seeing how many applicants they can afford to accept! And they probably wait for those numbers before meeting and making selections.

Congrats!

In the eyes of the OP. I "like" this.  8)

I can't correct you, but this definitely seems like a rational and viable timeline to me!

Yes. I would explore more venues though. Best tip is to practice your arithmetic abilities. Please use search option for any more details.

I do not have a clue on how the selection actually works for DEO. Logically speaking though, I can only assume that they accept people from DEO if the number of positions have not been entirely filled with ROTP applicants. Or, of course, if they don't have 3-4 years to wait for someone to fill...

So did anyone get called today? I didn't. I'd be surprised if anyone was called at all!  ::) Next week we might see some, but don't hold your breathe! Every single recruiter / CF member that I spoke with said early-mid April for the first wave of offers.

An interesting article on the matter titled "What Do Real Soldiers Think of Shooting Games?" Good read for who ever is interested in this! http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1218964p1.html

Great news! Congrats and good luck!  :nod:

Do they call to advise even if you did not make the first cut? Or is a letter sent out in that case?

Easy for you to say! This is my last (and first) chance for ROTP. If I don't make the cut, my last option will have to be DEO!  :blotto:

So, just came back from the interview and although the captain who conducted it gave her recommendations, she advised me that my credit check and criminal record check were not yet processed due to a back log of files in Ottawa. She said that because of this I will not be merit listed. But...

According to recruiters at CFRC Montreal, all ROTP applicants must be merit listed by or on March 16th in order to qualify for the first selection phase. This most likely implies that the selection board will be starting to meet very soon! Next week seems to fit this timeline well.

Hey Jakinder! Just noticed that you are applying out of CFRC Montreal. I too am applying out of Montreal, its good to see more of us on these forums! Good luck to you on the MARS application! I applied into Engineering! Cheers

So I went to the CFRC in person and they told me that the only other option left for Pilot in my case is by DEO. Bummer. I missed the deadline by 2 or 3 weeks (to give enough time to have everything completed). I can't wait for next year because I am already a 2nd year University student, and...

I've concluded that calling the CFRC in Montreal is useless to get solid information to answer my specific questions (listed in the previous recent messages). They transfer me around and eventually I was transferred somewhere and the call dropped. It appeared  as though everyone treats you like...
