Hey Lstpierre, Forgive me for my questions if they come off as naive. Most of us have no doubt that the system works. The topic raised above had to do with investigating (or not investigating?)  further into a given topic for the potential benefit of a candidate. I agree that it may in fact...

As much as I agree with you, additional information can be used to ones advantage. Though I do agree that there needs to be a bit of a filter and open mind as indicated by you and countless others.

Regardless of the site guidelines, do you really think you're ready for the CFAT a third time? As I said in another thread today : "If you take it again (a second time) , and do not meet the standard for your chosen trade, it will be VERY tough to convince the CF that you should be given a...

Do not take Greens post lightly. If you take it again (a second time) , and do not meet the standard for your chosen trade, it will be VERY tough to convince the CF that you should be given a third chance. If the door is not opening for you do not break it down out of stupidity or impatience. ...

Gunsharks advice was spot on. Few points:  Your time will be spent with others attending the selection. You will hear lots of discussion both positive and negative. Filter out the negative and focus on the positive. You have the power to succeed. Keep your ears open as there may be a pointer...

Thanks so much for pointing that out! Was in a rush to get to work. Other than knowing I meant to say 70% of a decade.... did you get the point? Click the following link and see reply # 12 . You will notice seven years was stated...

7 years as indicated in a previous post from my first CFAT. I said a near decade. 7/10 = 70% of a year. I figured it was close enough. It's not an easy trade to get into. If it was, everyone would do it. My recent application began last December. Mix in delay after delay and other issues...

I second this. As I said in another thread, some of us have been working on this process for nearly a decade. I'd say even if you applied in January, you're looking at 4-8 months. There is LOTS to do.

A variety of good posts written, many of which I agree with. A sensitive subject to be sure. Lots of different opinions!  From Ezra Levant stating that it's the first time he's ever seen someone gain weight during a hunger strike to Mr. Martins apologetic sermon. Quite the mess.  Something I...

The CFAT was not deigned to be a tedious engineering feat. There are many different threads explaining what the logic is behind the test. I personally was very nervous and asked the same sort of in depth questions. Let's just say that after near months of preparation, the answers seemed beyond...

I appreciate it. The situation is somewhat complex but it took a long time to break through. The idea that recruiting is only 5% of the challenge up the ladder makes it that much more interesting.  Though once that breakthrough happened, things unfolded within one week. I was debating to write...

7 year crusade for me. Once CFAT was complete , I did my interview and medical 4 days later. Awaiting the final stage now . 

Thanks for the response 2010. Can you tell me when the new syllabus came into service?  Two individuals I know of who entered in 2010 received a PFT bypass. From what I've been told, the bypass has worked out well for the CF and even better for those who graduated from said flight programs in...

Just want to sit in that seat eh ? I can provide some insight though I am sure others can provide much more. There are a variety of different ways people bypass and I think it comes down to what the current demands are within the CF. However,  you're evaluated accordingly @ second language...

Sad that this is even news. At days end, the man is still a human being like the rest of us. I will not remember him as an adulterous boogy man who jeopardized national security. As much as I feel for his wife and family, I do not think the mans sex life has to do with his ability to serve his...

To my knowledge: There are pros and cons to each entry plan. I'm not sure if you've considered this. Did you just wake up and decide you wanted to be a pilot? Keep in mind that being selected is just one step in a multitude of steps. In the event you are successful at western under ROTP, you...

You're not obligated to take the CFAT tomorrow. If you do not feel up to it or you're not at ones best.... then postpone it. My review was nothing short of overkill, and began a few months prior. The weeks leading into it however, I was doing 4-7 hours per day in math, problem solving, spatial...

I never thought about it this way. Makes complete sense.

This is was the list I composed and saved in my email a while back. Lets just say it helped me. This site by far helped me the most.    http://www.aptitude-test.com  EXAMS MULTIPLE EXAMS IN ALL AREAS http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/ppc-cpp/test-examen/pract-eng.htm...

Absolutely. It's actually quite sad that it isn't.  I would like to see Remembrance Day better recognized. I say reserve the day and do something great for one of your local units. It really isn't too much to ask.
