Does the form you have state that you need to provide 5 personal or professional references? The reason I ask is because last year when I applied, I used 5 of my friends as references. However this year, I was told that they are more strict and that you need professional references instead...

I assume you're attending Dalhousie? I applied there and was initially told by my MCC that no special considerations are given. If you don't mind me asking, when did/do you plan on completing BMOQ? Also, who was the memo submitted to (your MCC or someone higher in the chain of command?) That...

It's funny how the "Military Career Counselor" lied to my face the other day. When I subsequently sent an email to the recruiting center insisting that others have been accepted into ROTP for 2 year nursing programs, I received quite the rude response. Perhaps it's just my local CFRC that...

So I had my interview, and was told that 2-year compressed nursing programs are not eligible for ROTP. The officer that interviewed me seemed extremely clueless regarding such programs. I don't understand how other people have been approved for ROTP to attend 2-year nursing programs. When I did...

Nice, good luck! I'm still waiting on my academic assessment. I submitted my transcripts/questionnaire on Dec. 5th. EDIT: I Just called my CFRC and found out that I passed the academic assessment! On to the interview now...

DAA, I have a question. I was told that I need to be accepted into a civilian university before I can receive an offer for ROTP. According to what I've read, ROTP offers are sent out in March. However civilian universities sometimes send out offers in April, or even later on a rolling basis. How...

It's just the PDF. To be honest though, you can't really prepare for some parts of the examination. You'll either find the testing simple or difficult.

I've taken the new test. You'll receive a study package from your CFRC which will give you an idea of what to expect when you get to ASC.

s2184, your thread is so ridiculous that I just have to comment. I've been living in Markham for 16 years now and never had any issues with the naming of streets here. I think you have some personal issues you need to deal with.

I submitted the academic questionnaire through moodle :) I guess I don't have to repeat every step of the application process since I completed it when I applied as DEO before. Here's hoping I pass the suitability assessment!

Brilliant, thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. Do nursing officers have to go through phase training (i.e. Common Army Phase Training in Gagetown if in the Army, or spend some time at sea if in the Navy)?

I was finally able to get in touch with my recruiting centre, and was told that I can actually apply to ROTP for Nursing! I'm really excited, but I just want to make sure this is correct before I start the process. Were you able to confirm by any chance?

Hello, I just have a question. Which branch contains the most nursing officers, and does the branch they're in make a major difference? The reason I ask is because I am interested in applying to ROTP for nursing, but I much prefer the Air Force over the other branches. However I was told that...

Hi DAA, the situation I'm in is a bit different I suppose. I already possess an Honours BSc in Life Sciences and applied as DEO in December 2012 to the combat arms. I went through the entire application process, but at the end I was told that my trade of interest was not available. Now I'm...

Hello all, I just have a question. Are applicants who already possess a degree and are applying to obtain a secondary degree through ROTP part of a different selection pool?

I agree with the "people have bad days". When I first walked into my nearest recruiting centre, I felt that the recruiter I spoke with was rude. A few weeks later when I walked in again, it was like he was a completely different person, telling jokes and having laughs with me. Rule of thumb...

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.

From my understanding, the "Now Hiring" for most Officer trades is only for ROTP. DEO is currently closed (with the exception of "In-Demand" Officer trades), and I was told by a CFRC Detachment Commander that majority of trades for DEO will open some time after the new year (this includes the...

I have a question regarding NCM trades and pay rates. On the Forces.ca website for Postal Clerk, it states "The starting salary for a fully-trained Postal Clerk is $49,400 per year; however, depending on previous experience and training the starting salary may be higher". It also states that the...
