That's awesome falician, I also applied for Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator and applied the day after you, so I should be waking up to a response soon too. Unfortunately, I think the other trades I applied for are not hiring/too competitive, so I might not get the response I want. But...

Thanks for letting us know this. There are a few of us who also applied around this time, and still waiting too. So we kind of bounce this information off each other so we can see when other peoples files get transferred over. I applied March 18, documents received March 26, so I should be about...

I would definitely call them and just say "Hi, I applied online for a position and it is nearing 60 days since I initially applied, I would just like to check if there was any update on my file and make sure it isn't going to be closed because of the time period." When did you apply and when did...

Can someone in the CF at least answer his question even if he is coming off rude and out of line? The time he is waiting isn't an issue, because whether it has been 1 month or 1 year, it doesn't look like his application is going anywhere no matter how long he waits. Is there a commanding...

From looking at the new testing, I think it is easier to administer because there is no focus on form, just end results. EXPRES seems to have so much of a focus on form for pushups, situps and grip test, that it makes it more difficult to administer. I am not in the CF yet, just going by the...

The people who are getting responses the same day are talking about Reserves, not Regular Force. The general waiting time to hear back from them (first contact) is 5-7 weeks right now. This is the time where they will be looking to make the decision on whether they process your application...

Thanks for the information. Also for the original poster, there was a user here who also applied for the reserves in Toronto Ontario 2 weeks ago, and he handed his in personally, and was scheduled for his testing right away. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/13064.3700.html "Bassil_Inf" is...

I had concerns about this while applying, and I don't see how that would need to be necessary. When we apply online, we need to send photocopies of the documents, and this requires us to rip open the sealed envelopes to copy the front and back. I am not in Nova Scotia, so can anyone confirm if...

Highest mark on the CFAT, not highest rank in the CF. Whether or not he is officer material is up to the Canadian Forces to decide.

Hey, those parts on your online application don't mean anything right now, because the recruiting center doesn't use it at the moment. Before, they used to put a date beside them with the actual date that you were scheduled for your exams and stuff. I think it was just not being used by the...

If you are still "young" enough where you could put off the military for a couple more years, you might want to consider trying to up your education and then speak to the recruiting center about doing the CFAT test over again. Many provinces (I am not sure if all) have free options for doing...

I just applied last month, and you have to designate the branch before selecting your trade. I was only able to select trades from 1 branch.

Why not just make it simpler and just reply to my questions I have? You guys seem to think I believe that the application process is smooth sailing and quick as a flash for everyone, but that is not what I think at all. But what I do believe is that someone applying to the CF will have their...

I appreciate your response, but that is not what the staff member at the CFVRC told me. I did contact them, and they told me: "You will be notified via email once your file has been processed, I cannot give you time as to when, we process file in sequence as receiving them." So while it may be...

I really don't care how unique someone is, the staff member at the CFVRC told me applications are processed "in sequence as receiving them." Are you telling me the Master Corporal staff member at the CFVRC lied to me, and that being a unique individual means that other applications may be...

Well I don't want to make it seem like I am asking for everyones personal life story, a simple "Yes, there were unique circumstances that slowed down my application" would be more than sufficient for me. If an occupation is closed, wouldn't the CFVRC email you and tell you that your application...

Now I do not work in recruiting, but from my understanding, none of your points should make it so that other peoples applications to the regular forces are getting processed before yours without an update from the CFVRC. SentryMAn has said I should call the CFVRC, but the Master Corporal...

Being staff of this site doesn't give you the right to insult someone and not expect that person to try to defend themselves. What viewpoints or beliefs that I have are misguided exactly? That isn't a sarcastic question, I am being serious. If there is something I am wrong about, I would love to...

I understand what you are saying man, and trust me, I do appreciate you giving us the information about your personal experience. But I just don't want to scare people off who might make good members of the CF in thinking your situation might be the norm. Whether they are cut out for CF or not...

I don't have an attitude, I am simply replying with the same tone that someone brought to me in an attempt to publicly insult me. I matched his tone, not exceeding it. The factors which you mentioned are not part of the initial process of getting your application from the CFVRC to your local...
