RIP. Sadly, I sort of saw this coming. I vaguely remember hearing a month or so ago that he was "off the wagon" so to speak.

It must depend on the unit/area,  because I know nothing of this and the reserve recruiter I've been dealing with for a year has made no mention of it. Again, I think things are a little weird in Toronto, with the recruiting pretty centralised.

I suggest you contact a reserve recruiter for the unit you are trying to join (in some cases, like in Toronto, the recruiting for all reserve units is centralised to a couple recruiters). In my case, he's the one who gave me the paper application (which is necessary as well as the online...

I just got word that I passed my background check! I am officially not a spy or a terrorist! Recruiting Centre: CFRC Toronto Regular/Reserve: Primary Reserve Officer/NCM: NCM Unit: 7th Toronto Regiment RCA Trade Choice 1: Artillery Trade Choice 2: N/A Trade Choice 3: N/A Contact Interview...

It wasn't a sergeant, so it definitely wasn't whoever you were talking about. Maybe I should try to contact my reserve recruiter.

Unfortunately I learned several months ago that they no longer give out the direct contant info of file managers. I had once (6+ months ago) been given contact info for the CFRC Toronto file managers, but like the "special person" I am I lost it. I'm very paranoid too, since the one time I was...

Well, since I have no idea who my file manager is, that's going to be an issue.  :( Anybody know how to find out?

Would it make a difference if he's reserve or reg? I'm going for reserve and I got the same info as you.

Well, the guy at the desk said today when I went in that they were being discontinued. The most recent one I had done was over a month ago. (Hmmm, I have no idea why I have the 32 thing there, I made the signature about a year ago).

Just a heads up (don't know if this is the right thread), CFRC Toronto no longer does file checks. I guess too many people were pestering them.

I also did a Masters in Wales, and also needed a UK police check, funnily enough. Cardiff University was it?  ;D Use the ACRO form for "immigrants", the CF accepts that. I had a similar question due to the wording on the form, and went in to the recruiting office to ask about it. Even though it...

Yes. Exactly, and that's what most of the people saying they feel like leaving (such as me) mean.

Hudak did not run on a socially conservative platform in any way, I'm confused as to why you're blaming "culture wars". Socons stayed home this election. He did run on a quasi-libertarian hack-and-slash platform though, and look where it got him.

Wise words. At least it'll cause the other parties to rethink things and (especially the PCs) not trot out a robotic leader that can barely even get the support of their own natural base. That said, if what the Liberals have done recently can't put a bullet in them, the pessimist in me says...

I'm stuck here at ground zero, Toronto, with no immediate possibility of escape in any way. Oh the horror. Maybe I should just say "eff it" reapply for the regular force and move to mosquitoville, it can't be worse. Sad thing is, I'm only about 1/3 joking.

I don't want to live here anymore. I have fears for the sanity of my neighbours.

Or lack thereof, according to his manifesto.

There IS the option of declining your ballot (IE, going to the polling station, receiving it, and immediately handing it back) which forces the government to include it as "declined" in its official count. I'd say that's a better way of showing disagreement with all the available options, since...

Reading this thread is horrifying.  :'( I notice that a lot of the earlier posts (2004-2005 era) talk about year-long waits for presec due to living in the UK for as little as a year, however it seems that in their cases, they did not submit a request for a UK police check themselves and had to...

According to my recruiter, they probably won't (especially for reserve applicants) and it's best to keep calling them. Vehicular murder, child abduction and wearing criminally cheesy daffodil hats seemed the preferred local activities when I was there, but there's that too.  :-X
