Hello fellow RCMS members - so while killing time on Facebook this morning I've seen that we have a new Group badge. Apparently our "old" badge was representative of a Command badge and has been updated to reflect that we're a Group not a Command... Here's the blurb that came with the...

Your first statement is actually not accurate. While the application portal is the same, the actual processes between the two are different. The medical test to join the RegF and NAVRES are different than the Army Reserve or Health Services Reserves (the Army & HS Reserves do ERE's, this is...

Just another insight, maybe they were CFAT rewrites, people who had already done the TSD... they could also be people who only had time to do 1 test (and yest I've seen the CFAT and TSD broken apart because someone didn't have enough time to do both). There are a variety of reasons that COULD...

asked and answered several times - here's the most recent thread to this question: Med forms and how to send them in

Please note also it will also depend on regulations in place. I'm not sure army rules but I know with NAVRES that the following are requirements for a VOT: 1) The occupation you're joining must have openings; 2) The occupation you're leaving must NOT be in the red (i.e. under strength); 3) You...

Correction on this... it's not up to "ottawa" do decide. It's CTC Gagetown. Contrary to popular belief there isn't 1 place that PLAR's go. PLAR's go wherever the Training Authority is. For BMQ/BMOQ the Training Authority is CTC (Combat Training Centre). From my personal experience being...

The original purpose of the CFAT was to determine someone's ability to pass their QL3 (DP1) training. For at least over a decade it's been a topic of conversation within Recruiting why individuals that are fully qualified civvie side to do a job are being required to do a CFAT. Examples that...

I do want to weigh in on one topic here. The CFRC primary job is to process Regular Force files. The Reserves are responsible for their own recruiting, I would NOT expect the CFRC to know the process for a Primary Reservist. If you're joining Army the Brigade Recruiters should have...

I have to say, please use some common sense. Saying that you didn't realize it would cause frustration, treat posting in military related boards like you would your career. If you happen to get in and you have have a question as a Private and you ask your Corporal, your Master Corporal, then...

Just adding on winds answer to you (using winds previous answer to you). "The 18-24 months wait you were quoted is for your file to sit in a queue in another government department to be reviewed..." As winds stated that is the backlog there, that's what the CFRC's are told. It's another...

I'd like to explain the term "closed" when it relates to Recruiting Files and Prior Learning Assessments (PLAR). Closed never really means "closed", it's not like the door is shut and can never be opened. With Recruiting and PLAR's when a file is open without movement we have to report on why...

The MP branch interviews all potential MPO's whether they're DEO or ROTP. From when I worked in recruiting they used to happen at described times during the year. Best suggestion would be to contact your CFRC and ask if there is any information on when the MPO Interviews are happening.

I know the system used to send out an automated message to state that you were moved forward; however not sure how the system is set up now. They may rely on individuals logging in to see where they are. You should probably contact your recruiter to determine what, if anything is missing. The...

Last I recall you cannot be "in" bankruptcy while you enroll, and there has to be a certain amount of time between being discharged and being able to enroll.

For reserve units, they are responsible for their own recruiting - as such to know how many positions there are for Infantry Officer at QoR you'd have to speak to them. There are improvements in place for PRes Army recruiting to have files move faster (esp if you don't pose a requirement for a...

ahem... many of us use the correct term and call it Football still ;-) After all it's not the FISA World Cup now is it? :ROFLMAO: sorry off track :-) I'll just go back to my corner now :-)

Quick fix for Dental/Medical Info... Dental for Reservists Class A: Covered through the Dental Plan posted by Blackadder Class B under 180 days and less: covered by the CAF for the mbr only (while on contract) - if you're on a short term contract (under 30-60 days) chances are you will only...

Honestly, you've pointed out where you feel weak on your own. You may not get in on your first application, but look at what you can do you in your community to help with Leadership. It may not be in the form of a job, but could be volunteering. It's a competition to get into the CAF; some...

sarahsmom already handled my first eyebrow raise, so my second one is this one... not sure what having a G1, G2 or G has to do with a background check? although all provinces have a graduated license system, it's not necessarily G1/G2, in BC I think it's Class 7 / class 5, same with Alberta...

It's been approx 5 years since I last worked in recruiting, but a handful of offers went out in December, and then they keep doing selections until all the slots are filled. It comes in waves so that the recruiting centres are able to manage the workload of enrolling the new members.
