I don't think they place much emphasis on the "value" of the prior work experience, as in most cases the individuals have little if any practical leadership experience, mind you they do have the CAF knowledge and should know what to expect during and later on in their careers.  Have a look at...

Intake numbers are allocated and assigned by the OA (Occupational Authority) based on forecasted attrition rates, etc, etc.  Most NCMs who join while already possessing a post secondary education do so because their chances of being offered an Officer Occupation from off the street weren't that...

In most cases and from what I have seen in the past, PLARs such as this, would be sent to the Standards Section of the Training School who is responsible for conducting the course/training qualification which is being sought for equivalency.

The timelines for a "basic" background check will vary from applicant to applicant. However, once your local Recruiting Centre has initiated the process, the Criminal Record and Credit Checks usually take anywhere from 5-10 business days, provided there is NO backlog in the system.  The...

Good for you!  Best advice I can give you at this point, is to STUDY for your CFAT (Aptitude Test) and study hard.  This will be your first step and it's the most important part of the application process.

Your initial appointment is for you to write the CFAT (Aptitude Test).  So your main concern at this point, should be studying/preparing to write that test and nothing more.  I don't believe that not having an unrestricted provincial drivers licence is going to be a sticking point given your...

The first thing you should do, is to contact the Unit that intends to hire you for the Reserve Job.  Discuss your circumstances and settle on a committed hiring/start date and get that date in writing.  Your release date should be the day prior to the day you start the Reserve job.  So if they...

I'd email both the "appointments" and also the Recruiter whom you were dealing with.  Don't assume anything, until you have some sort of confirmation. Good luck!

Your supporting Orderly Room can only provide you with a Letter of Confirmation of Employment which indicates your current "base/basic" salary ONLY. They can't include any type of "allowance" as these payments are subject to change.

What drug test are you referring to, the NPD Questionnaire?

Component Transfers (CT) are managed by DMCPG 5-2 and NOT Canadian Forces Recruiting Group nor your local CFRC.  For information on the process, you will need to initiate contact with your "CT Broker" at DMCPG 5-2 in Ottawa.  As a CT Applicant, you can email them directly and they will normally...

Advising the Medical Section of a delay in the completion and return of those medical forms is more of a "courtesy" than anything and merely indicates to your CFRC that you are still "actively" working on the issue and interested in pursuing your application to the CAF.  It also gives them an...

They recommend that you limit your occupation choice(s) to ONLY occupations that you are willing to accept an Offer of Employment for.  If you have chosen only Cbt Engr and have been Merit Listed, then it's highly likely that you may receive an offer within the next 30-45 days.  If you haven't...

Sorry that I offended you by saying "I'm offering assistance and if you can't see that, then clearly you are too wrapped up in the "pay issue" to recognize this, so I will leave you to your own demise."  I don't see this as being rude but rather accurate and constructive criticism. You've...

Thanks mariomike and I have reached out with an offer of assistance but the individual refuses to provide the necessary information (ie; Occupation and Education Credentials) needed to make an educated guess, hence my reluctance to chime in until now. Sgt Laen has provided the best response. ...

After completion of the Medical at your local CFRC, your Medical File is sent to the RMO for review and assignment/approval of your medical category.  It will take 6-8 weeks, on average, before your Medical File is returned to your local CFRC for continued processing.  After it has been...

You will only know your application # if they provided it to you (AXXXXXX).  There are several reasons why a Recruiter may not be able to locate your Application Account such as, incorrect spelling of your last name, they're not authorized access to your file, etc, etc. However, they should be...

Yes, you should order a new set of tags through your Unit Orderly Room.  In the mean time, just band the two parts together with an elastic band or tape which should hold you over until the replacements arrive.

Why?  Foreign references, as far as I know, are not permitted and I can't see any reason why they would be asking for something like this.

Upon completion of your Interview and Medical, the "Reference Check" is the next step in your application process.  So if your references are being contacted, then your application is actively being worked on.
