    My Story (a bit lengthy)

    Well I can't tell you EXACTLY what they asked as you're not allowed to disclose that information. But basically, they just go over your application, check to make sure nothing has changed and all the info is correct. Be sure to know your trades like the back of your hand and know what you're...

    My Story (a bit lengthy)

    My interview went well :) I felt like I was talking to a guidance councilor than having an actual interview. IT was just the feeling I got from the whole experience. MY security checks hadn't been finished at the point of my interview, but they were initiated. I know my references finally...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    Yet another update! Guess things are finally starting to get moving with my app :D Just got a call earlier today to book my medical. They originally offered me a chance to do my medical tomorrow morning, but it was way to short of notice for me. No way I could get someone to cover my shift at...

    Job Posting Availability

    To my knowledge, you'll get a good idea on what opens up job-wise April 1st every year. That's when all the number crunching is finished and the CF knows what trades needs more recruits. When it comes to Image Techs, it's highly competitive. I looked into applying for it a yr or so ago and the...

    My Story (a bit lengthy)

    I do consider myself lucky with my pace so far. I know some people who have had to wait almost a year just to get their interview. For the most part I've tried to keep myself busy, keep my mind off of it. I started getting into shape a few weeks after I work the cfat. I realized if I was going...

    My Story (a bit lengthy)

    My brother is currently in phase II of pilot training. He has about a month and a half left in Moose Jaw and then it's onto the next phase, wherever that takes him. He got lucky with his application. His went fairly quick. I believe he applied early October and was given his job offer by early...

    PSO

    It probably has to do with the fact the the CF is changing how they do recruiting. From what I was told recently, beginning this September everything is decided by Borden. So each RC send in test scores to them, they decided which applicants get picked for further processing (med/interview)...

    Selection Dates 2013-2018

    Nothing too specific unfortunately. All he said is that they have about 4000 openings (across all open/hiring trades) that need to be filled. I'm just hoping things start to pick up soon. I guess part of the reason for some of the lag with applications now is they're in a transition period...

    Selection Dates 2013-2018

    That's weird because I was just at my RC today and was told they still had a lot of spots to fill for AVS and AVN this year.

    Why Can't I get past the online application?

    I know that in the past year they've changed how applications are done. Give it a couple of days and you should get an e-mail response telling you to contact your local RC for further processing instructions.

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    The site has been recently updated. I check every week or so and within the last week a lot of trades stopped hiring. I speculate this is because they have received enough applicants that I no longer wish to keep it open to new applicants. They probably are still hiring, they just most likely...

    Selection Dates 2013-2018

    I think they have recently updated it. I go on there and check usually once every couple weeks. I noticed the other a day a lot of trades were no longer hiring. I can only assume that they maybe received enough applicants or have an over abundance for certain trades and they may not want to...

    What is everyone doing in their spare time while waiting for the call?

    Apparently not. I wasn't planning on mentioning it, but she (the interviewer) started going on about how she wanted me to be assistant manager and eventually manager. I panicked because I don't want that sort of responsibility, especially if I don't know how long I'd be working for them. I've...

    What is everyone doing in their spare time while waiting for the call?

    Well I joined a gym to help get back into shape. Sadly I let myself go over the last year. I Was doing so well but life like to throw you for loops. So I'm hoping to get my cardio back to where I use to be a year ago. Same for my upper body strength. I've also been looking for some part-time...

    Interview advice (merged)

    I haven't had my interview yet (hoping for soon!) but from what I was told when I last inquired about my application, be prepared for all the trades you've applied for. Be sure to understand what your job would be, what sort of training you expect to do etc... I think they just want to make sure...

    Possibility of attending next BMQ

    To my understanding they run BMQ year round. They probably just haven't updated the website yet.

    How to get family on board

    I think the main issue most people have is understanding what the Canadian Forces are. Most of my friends, when I told them I wanted to apply for the CF, assumed it would be how the movies portray the American military. Everyone is in infantry, on the front lines and dies. "No, that's just what...
