Wouldn't a Level 2 or 3 imply that there had been an initial pre-screening somewhere in the past? That may be why it was faster for them, and why initial pre-screenings, for folks who have never been in the CAF, are taking longer.

Recruiting medical standards are different than serving medical standards. Only the RMO can decide whether you will be fit to serve or not. All I can say your health history as reported in your post will likely require a Family Doctor letter from CFRC so your doctor/specialist can give the CAF...

How would you prepare for any other job interview? Its just a job interview - not rocket science. Not sure what you mean by the domains you applied for are not arms - do you mean not combat arms? Doesn't matter. everyone is a soldier first, their job second. You will be trained to shoot a...

The fitness standards are the same whether for BMQ or BMOQ (look up the force tesr), however at RMC their fitness standards are a it more intense. That being said, don't go to the CFRC until you can run 5k without stopping (ideally in under 30 mins but start with just not stopping) and can...

The only exceptions I am aware of are for medical officers, so if one exists for AERE i'll let someone else speak to that. It's not a punishment to spend time as a 2Lt before going to Lt. The 2Lt rank lets you make stupid mistakes that get forgiven. The Lt rank has people looking at you like you...

1. The maximum age to join typically depends on the trade you choose and the contract length offered (determined by trade). The ultimate maximum age would be 57 and infantry as their contract is the shortest length at 3 Years. Be aware that the entire recruiting process, especially for PRs and...

It should tell you your rank and your pay scale. As DEO you will be an OCdt/NCdt during basic, and then typically 2Lt on graduation. After your occupational training, when the appropriate amount of time has passed, you should then be Lt. Some exceptions apply (like for MOs).

Its a job interview. Do you understand what the job you applied is? Do you understand that the job is not kicking in doors and shooting bad guys on a daily basis, regardless of what the trade is? Again I can't stress this enough - it's a job interview. Same as applying for any other job.

The ONLY automatic disqualifications are things like missing limbs, wheelchair bound, or have to carry oxygen with you. What will happen is when you do your medical you will be upfront and open about your past medical history. The medic will give you a form (based on what you stated above) to...

I think the priority may have changed as Borden (same as pretty much all bases in Canada) seems to be having a shortage of PMQs. When I went through, you could get a Q if you were at PRETC and expected to be there for more than 1 year. You could even move your family. I don't believe this is an...

I think long term class B (the 3 year contract type) are eligible for PMQs if there are any available at their location, but I think their priority falls behind posted in members of the Reg F.

There is a shortened BMOQ for medical officers and padres and those hypes. Padres are not supposed to handle weapons so they don’t get as in depth training during BMOQ. Doctors are also too expensive to send to the range or to let run loose with weapons; they get protected in the R1 or the R2 so...

1. You can only apply for officer or NCM on your application - not both. So you will have to decide whether you want HRA and MMT, or whether you want officer. If officer wasn't listed as an option, even if the unit obviously has officers, it's possible that they are full of officers, and can't...

So if it's at Canex, it is open to civillians, correct? It's like Dr Innes who used to be the civvy dentist in what is now the Lifelabs building. Congrats either way. Having to drive 20+ minutes to Alliston or 30+ minutes to Barrie (depending on where in Barrie you are going) sucks, so closer...

I'll be honest, I did not read the 12 pages of comments above the infographic, but why is a low birth rate a problem?

So ARes is not the same as regular reserves (army or navy). Air Reserves is more of a full time job, with all your courses being full time, and taskings are also full time. Army reserves is part time (one night a week, one weekend a month) with potential for full time contracts. If you were...

Also, Air reserves tend to work fulltime, up to 20 days a month. How will you manage that with your full time career?

But make sure your exhaustive and detailed appeal letter comes from your DOCTOR and not from you personally. The RMO likely won't even read any letter or appeal written by a random applicant.It will more than likely just get tossed. All the proofs and evidences that show you are not as bad as...

Indefinitely. Competition list simply means you have completed all the steps and you are a potential candidate. There may be other more qualified, more competitive candidates that keep pushing you down the list, meaning you could stay on it a long, long time.

There are no tips and tricks to the medical - that would defeat the purpose of being honest. For hearing preservation, use your ear defenders when on the range, and turn down the volume in your car or when using earbuds/headphones.
