About the only people you can talk to are at the CFRC - in the medical section.  The Recruiting Medical Officer gets his info from the medical section at the CFRC, so if you have info to clarify earlier reports, or need to explain something to a person, you need to do it to the Physicians...

In order to answer the question, I would need to know which officer occupation you want.  From your post, I would assume you want MP Officer.  Check with the CFRC, as some occupations require specific degrees, and it may be that the Criminal Justice degree from Athabasca University does not meet...

Congratulations - and good luck. Don't be discouraged at the lack of responses - as I write this I notice that there have been 197 views of your post/thread. BCOG

JH_ The competition to be an Inf O varies from year to year.  Keep your marks up, and work through the CFAT practice test, which will give you an idea about the actual CFAT.  Don't over-analyze the problems - you don't get extra marks for showing your work, nor for deriving the formula that...

While I can't speak for Eye in the Sky, be careful of trying to apply his experience to your situation. Since you had to get your eyes checked, and the form was mailed in, there could be a week for the form to travel through the mail, and be recorded into your file.  Depending on how busy the...

W/BPSO = Wing or Base Personnel Selection Officer The interview will probe those areas that are indicators of success / aptitude for being part of CSOR.  It will be something like the interview done by the Military Career Counsellor as part of the process to enroll into the military. As for...

Sorry - other plans for tomorrow.

To find out what training you would be credited for if you go ATIS, as for a PLAR.  Your BPSO should be able to staff that for you. Outside of this forum, you could/should talk to people who are in the occupations.  Base Construction Engineering should have some construction techs, although a...

Its too difficult to provide an estimate of wait time.  It depends on you, your history, the CFRC/Det and its workload/staffing levels, and the Reserve unit, and their staffing  and interest.  You could be lucky, and get through in a week, or you could hit a snag and the process could take a...

Steve C:               The reason that the CFRC pointed you towards the Reserve unit recruiter is because: a.    The Reserve unit will only hire a limited number of occupations.  If it is an Armoured unit, it will normally only hire Crewman, and other occupations may or may not be available...

Last year Recruiting revised the required paperwork to be submitted, and provided for a more standardized approach across the country.  Then the website was modified to support the new standardization, and to reflect the increased capability of the chat room.  While some CFRCs/Dets may still use...

The length of time it takes to update your file depends on what info the Optometrist reported, and whether they provided the info the medics were looking for.  The length of time will also depend on how long it takes the optometrist to complete the report and send it to the CFRC. Followup with...

There are 3 parts to the Medical. Part 1 consists of a health questionnaire, vision test, colour vision test, hearing test, urine sample, pulse, blood pressure, height and weight. (I'm working from memory, so I may have missed something).  All of this is  recorded on a single form, which stays...

Actually, the CFRC may not have the answer either - and it may take some time to get someone up the chain to provide them with an answer. Th As well, there is a difference between obligatory service, and VIE.  And depending on time in and whether the CT staff consider the current level of...

Thats the way it has been even for the Regular Force until recently.  It certainly is the practice for the western Reserve Int Coy.

Actually, I agree with ArmyVern- lots of women should not apply.  The same goes for men.  However, lets look at some stats (those of you who know me won't be surprised - here we go to Stats Canada 2006 Census reports) There are 1,032,435 women aged 20-24 years of age.  (I know - women, and men...

BulletMagnet: If the CF was meeting its recruiting numbers, you might have an argument.  However, the CF has not been meeting its detailed, occupation specific targets for the occupations that require skills, education and aptitudes that are different from those required to be successful combat...

Most Reg F officer occupations have a DEO Variable Initial Engagement of 9 years.  If you have very specific skills that are in high demand in the CF (medical doctor with specific specialities), you MAY be able to convince the powers that be to shorten that commitment. As an older person...

And what about the women we are also recruiting? And the techs we need in all 3 services?  Plus all the other occupations that need people that have attributes that don't closely match the SAS / Royal Marine Commando requirements?  I would agree with you more if all we were recruiting were for...

Follow Sx-Dragoon's advise.  You may find the person reviewing your file may be sceptical, but will give you an opportunity to explain.
