The recruiting steps are in the process of changing; at one point in time you had to list up to 3 preferred occupations and then you wrote the CFAT.  It is changing to be that you will write the CFAT; you will be given a list of occupations you qualify for and you can pick up to 3 that you would...

Please keep in mind with Reserve Recruiting that during the summer most of the recruiters are not at their units or their own homes.  In most cases Reserve Unit Recruiters are sent away to various locations to teach on Basic Training.  This makes it so that they aren't answering their phones...

Sorry for the delay in response. I know the poster has now been in contact.  However for the sake of others who might read this, when someone from Borden contacts you, it's CFRG HQ - if the number they've left isn't working or you're not being able  to get in touch with them always revert back...

Without knowing the exact specifics of your file it's hard to make a 100% accurate statement.  But knowing the CFRIMS (Recruiting System); I know there's a "Ready for Competition List" bin and a "Competition List" bin; from the sounds of it you were in the "Ready for Competition List" - although...

You're entitled to your thoughts and feelings; however obviously something in your blog went against the intent of Operation Honour (sidenote: thank you Lumber for calling it "Operation Honour" - to CaptainCookieMonster, Operation Honour is not short formed to "Op").  I have been a member of...

It varies - before you're placed on the competition list your security check needs to come back, the RMO may need to review your medical. And your file may not move forward while the CAF is processing other "more pertinent" files.  When I say more pertinent this is based on the needs of the CAF...

I asked around today; it stands for "Family Doctor Letter"; not an approved acronym and not all CFRC's use it, but apparently some do.

Good Day, PRes Units are in charge of their own recruiting and training, you should reach out to the Reserve Unit you wish to join and ask your query to them as they'll have the information that you're seeking.

You are 1 of approximately 30,000 files between application and the competition list, this is on top of the approx 12,000 files that make it to enrollment (this includes PRes & Reg Force). To put a number to that, your file represents approx 0.002% of the individuals currently in the system...

I (a recruiter) concur with mariomike's post.  Honestly the individual interviewing you has the best knowledge of your file.

Rule #1 - Always be honest It is highly likely your previous file will be reviewed during the process; so it is best to state that you used to have an allergy to shellfish and it's no longer an issue.  If I were you I'd have a letter from a Family Doctor backing this up prior to starting your...

Reviewing the history of a brand new citizen is harder than reviewing the history of a citizen that has been in Canada 10 years, 20 years or their entire life. In regards to sharing your information with Canada Immigration & Citizenship; you gave them that information for your Immigration; not...

Each file is different and without knowing your medical and personal background it's impossible to state how lone the medical/physical and background checks can take.  Quickest I've seen is 2 months, longest I've seen is much longer than that. The pre-sec will depend on where you are a dual...

Please keep in mind that the CAF does not do the security / finance checks for those coming into the CAF; it's done by a 3rd party company. So the "internal issues" would be with the company. And yes it's a known issue that was being looked into, the volume of applicants that the CAF receives...

"FDL" is not an official CAF abbreviation; I'd ask your Recruiting Centre what "FDL" means to them.

I know this is super old, but ...  though several members of Vetearn's UN/NATO Canada own a motorcycle, they are not a Motorcycle Club; there is no requirement to own a motorcycle to be part of Veteran's UN/NATO Canada. Their mission is to bring our fellow veterans out of isolation, to promote a...

Just as a side note, read who DAOD 5015-0 applies to "This is a directive that applies to employees of the Department of National Defence (DND employees) and an order that applies to officers and non-commissioned members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF members) who act as managers or...

Your file will need to be reviewed by the PLAR cell; all that you can receive here are opinions and best guesses.  Start the application process, you'll go through the PLAR process and be told 100% whether you'll need to do it or not. This isn't trying not to answer your question; but even as a...

The initial contract length for all 3 of those occupations is 5 years.
