Agreed. Thank you.

That's interesting. Though the recruiter told m yesterday that the federal govt is able to see everything. LMAO!

Yes. I just did that. I was at a CFRC today and spoke to a recruiter in person. And then spoke to one of their medical examiners as well. All good. Thanks every one.

I'll be grateful if other members add more to this, or help me find 'more detailed' answers to my questions. Thanks.

I have no problem with that. However I thought once the records got destroyed, they won't be showing up in future background checks.

Yes, of course. I guess the path to glory goes through shame. I will be frank with them and myself.

What do you mean? I've only lived in one city in Canada the whole time. I must add that the charges I'd mentioned, were related to a protest on a univ campus many years ago.

Yes indeed. RIP

Very interesting.... Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks. Was that a big city police force, if I may ask?!

Thank you. Personally and according to a professional advice I was given, I don't think that my temporary anxiety issues will be a factor in the line of profession I want to do. And by the time I will start doing the application next year, I will be off the meds per doctor's instructions...

That'a great. Thanks.

My bad. I should've explained better. 4% chance of being hired by my local police force? Why is that so low? The problem is that I am waiting to receive my Canadian citizenship and it may come any moment now. Don't know when but it will be some time in 2014. But given the long wait time to...

I am considering that.

Thanks for those links. Sounds like something I could do until my time to join the CF comes.

I worked for a federal politician /MP some time ago. Is it beneficial to have him/her write a letter to the recruiting office on my behalf? Like a character witness testimony, or letter of recommendation? What about letters of recommendation from charity or not for profit organizations I have...

I appreciate your kind response. However, my concern is whether taking anxiety meds might disqualify me. I don't have to take it per se. I can control my anxiety through different methods. But will this be an issue? Just being on anxiety medicine is something that may disqualify a candidate?

Thanks CBH. So will they show up on the record check or not??

Thanks guys. I appreciate your responses.

Thank you. I have scheduled a preliminary meeting with a police service recruiter next week. Will have to ask him as well. But thanks again for posting those links. :)
