Scroll down to Section D, Table 1: http://www.kingsown.ca/Old%20Site/ROTP%20Quest%20Part%201_en.pdf You could also have a look at http://forces.ca/. If you go to the fact sheet for your desired occupation, it should tell you the required qualifications and degrees.

What's your point? Because there was a surplus of infantry due to the need in Afghanistan, and now there is not as big of a need, the CF will obviously be cutting back their numbers for this trade for some time.

If that's not the case, could you please explain why the infantry and other similar trades were not hiring for some time?

What are you asking then? It sounds like you answered your own question.

You said "if I apply and get accepted as infantry soldier in the regular forces". Your talking about a completely different scenario now. If you get accepted, like you said before, you would not need an education in heavy mechanics. If you didn't get accepted, like you just said  ::), then you...

Read a handful of threads in the Recruiting section of this site and come back here and tell us how many people said they applied for: 1 - Infantry 2 - Armoured 3 - Artillery The trades in the Combat Arms are the big ones that people want, and since the conflict in Afghanistan is dying down...

The other applicants who are competing against you who have been deemed more "competitive" have likely been gaining experience or doing whatever for years, which makes them more competitive. It's impossible to be able to cram years worth job experiences, etc. into one month.

My question for you is why would you need an education in heavy mechanics if you were to get into the infantry?

It all depends on what you're capable of. Some might say its impossible, while others would think its almost too easy.

I just meant that they would be qualified in two different things, so it might be hard to compare. However, I completely agree with you at the same time.  :P

I wouldn't say that a newly commissioned officer is less qualified than a corporal who has been in for the same length of time. They are just qualified in two different areas of the military. Like apples and oranges. You just can't compare these things.

So if they already smoke, they shouldn't try and smoke??  ;D I'm just kiddin with ya though! Congrats and good luck with your application!!

You also probably know that leadership experience is something that is looked for in RMC applicants, but a year in the reserves as a Private (Recruit) or as an Officer Cadet doesn't really grant you that experience, mind you, it does give you valuable military experience, just next to none in...

Like how it says that Combat Engineers kick off their training with the BMOQ! That website has been known to be a tad misleading. ;)

What he meant by "not meeting the ethical pillars of the CF" was that you would be, in a way, 'using' the CF for your own gain. By the sounds of things, if you don't get into RMC, you intend to join the reserves in the hopes that it will give your resumé that extra little bit of gravy (but...

If you do get accepted for ROTP, you do your first year of university at RMC or a civvi U, then you do BMOQ that summer. As for what you need to know for the interview, be prepared to answer the questions on this link: http://www.11rca.ca/web_pdf/prep.pdf

Like civilian universities, you don't reapply once your already in. Once your in, your in, unless you start failing or do something that gets you kicked out. As well, if you quit in your first year, you are not obligated to serve any time in the military.

Being on the merit list only means that you have completed all of the steps in the application process and that you are placed on a list that compares how you scored with others. It is not a "promise" or guarantee since the ones placed higher on the list will get the positions first.

First of all, if you have heard of the four pillars (academics, athletics, bilingualism, and leadership), you should know that anything you can do that can fit into one of these four areas will help your chances. Both cadets and the student trustee position would fall under leadership, but those...

You wouldn't have signed anything stating this yet. If you do get accepted, you're still able to decline the offer.
