    ROTP 2011-2012

    Don't you have blood tests and a thorough optometrical exam to do outside of the recruiting center before being scheduled for ASC? I also am waiting for my CFRC to call me to schedule ASC. Hope to see you there!

    ROTP 2011-2012

    After my interview they gave me the paper for the optometrist and the blood test. I was told it was the only optometrist I could see. I don't know if it's like that for every recruiting center (I'm in Montréal). My pupils are still wide opened because of the dilating drops. Yesterday I was not...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Interview and first medical done yesterday. It went very well and I'm now cleared for the next steps in the selection process. Since I'm applying for pilot, I have to go see an optometrist for some more tests and get a blood test. Once this is done, the next step is ASC Trenton. I was well...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Hey, I spent 30 000$ on my way to get a Commercial Pilot Licence because 2 years ago a recruiter told me that the CF would not be hiring pilots for the next couple of years, whatever the entry program. I also started a civilian meteorology degree before I learned that ROTP never closed and that...

    Commercial Pilot Licence ( CPL )

    Agree with 2010newbie. Give it a try if it's really what you want to do. I was told by a recruiter 2 years ago that ROTP-Pilot was closed for the next years. I never thought about making sure he was not wrong (he was...), so it's only recently that I decided to apply, and I'm into the recruiting...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Translation "Only one mistake, it's the first time I see this!" So yeah, all good so far :) My interview is scheduled in 4 weeks. I'll make sure to know inside out every aircraft currently used by the CF, all the Wings  and every squadrons (where they are, what they do, which aircraft they...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Very good news this morning. I just passed the CFAT and it was a great confidence booster when the Corporal said "Une seule erreur, j'ai jamais vu ça!" Medical and interview booked October 20th. Good luck to everyone.

    ROTP 2011-2012

    @pudd13: I see what you mean by getting ready in your everyday life. Thanks for your answer. I'm curious about this however: On May 12 at 0900, I learned that ROTP-Pilot was not closed for the years to come (as I had been told by a mistaken recruiter), on May 13 at 0800 my whole application...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Yep! See the last post on the fifth page of this thread. They called me to schedule my CFAT. I'll be at Montréal CRFC next tuesday at 0730 to see if I met the minimums to be an officer. My first and only choice was pilot. I applied for Civi-U, but if they offer me to go to RMC instead, I'll...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Hi all! A little bit about me: I'm a 22 years old meteorology student living in Montréal. I started my civilian pilot training a bit less than 2 years ago when I was mistakenly told by a recruiter (the day came to apply for ROTP-RMC) that the CF were not hiring any pilots and would not either...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    What do you mean "do CFAT and interviews ASAP"? I applied in May (the recruiter did not seem do know that it would only be for 2011-2012), and finally was told I should expect news by mid-September. I have to wait for THEM to tell me when I can start the process, not the opposite. Is there...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Is the real one much harder because you were under more pressure and the clock was ticking? It's weird because I often read that the questions are harder, but just as often I read that it's the same difficulty level, just different questions...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Allright! You and the others confirmed what I thought and I will not apply for the CPL this summer. Anyway, besides looking good on a resume, it does not change a thing that I don't have the license, since I will continue to fly anyway (trying to master a taildragger these days!) in order to...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Exactly why I'm reluctant getting my CPL. I want to do PFT. Plus, there is a huge margin between CPL and ATPL, so I'm now quite convinced I should not get my CPL now. If something goes wrong at ACS, at least it'll be just a flight test before I get the CPL, so I would be ready for the next year.

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Hi, I applied for ROTP civi University 2011-2012 in May and I want to be a military pilot. I'm currently doing a meteorology in Montréal and doing my civilian commercial pilot "training". My written exam is already done and I'm very close to having the hours to do the flight test and I could...

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    I wrote it last week. I don't have the licence yet, I'm at 140h and will need 200h.

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    I was told today that I would be contacted during the fall. The deadline was indeed in June, and it seems they don't start the tests and interviews before the fall (applying mid-May was not a good timing that's for sure!). I don’t really know why I was told both by the recruiter who took my file...

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    Thank you for your very helping answer. I was not aware of the people's timing thread, so it sure is a good read. I don't know what kind of news I should be expecting! I left all the documents required for ROTP (civilian university, since I'm already doing a meteorology degree) May 13th, and I...

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    The two recruiters I met in May both seemed to think it was a very good thing I was finishing my CPL and would help me during the selection process. By reading this forum, it seems that PFE does not play a big role, if any... Sometimes, there seems to be a big gap between what the recruiters...

    This is my first post here! I hope my english writing won't be too bad (first language is french) I'm in a similar situation as you are Stephen. I applied in May for ROTP-civilian university, since I've already started a meteorology degree in Montrel (UQAM). I should be done with my CPL 2 or 3...
