Yeah I'm a little in the dark too. I've been waiting to be merit listed. Called in the middle of September, and was told that the people who'd be processing that step were out of office... And waiting to call on October 1st is just killing me. Really hope we both hear some news soon. We both...

Got any updates Cbbmtt?

Hey Blyth, My application is currently going through CFRC Halifax, so if you'd like to check out my posts in the Application Process Samples thread, it might give your boyfriend an idea of when he'll be contacted and timings further on in the process. Keep in mind that during BMQ, your...

You could join a sports team or club during the 9 months you've allotted. Squash is easy to pick up and would help you out with your coordination and focus, any raquet sport for that matter...

Alternatively, if you're applying for NCM: Something you need consider before applying is timing. This is what a recruiter told me before applying for NCM as a potential university graduate back in March: "If you're applying for NCM, what could end up happening is your application goes through...

Thanks NinerSix!

Need watch advice for BMQ: 1. Do recruits rely on their watch's alarm function during basic? 2. At 5:00 wake up for instance, does a recruit need their own alarm? 3. Can a recruit use a different alarm such as their phone or alarm clock as opposed to their watch's? Reason I ask is because my...

Hey Rohandro, I applied online too: my file was transferred to my local RC in May, and I waited until July to get the initial email. Should you get through by phone (I noticed Toronto doesn't list an email), you'll likely be told to wait. Now if 30 days have passed since you last called, try...

Thanks Cbbmtt and George, I read back in this thread, and even used the search function! I do have a better idea now, which is to say I have no idea whatsoever. Seems Cbbmtt is right; interview scheduling is arbitrary. I'll just play it by ear.

I write the CFAT next week, followed by the medical on the same day. Can anyone tell me if I should expect to meet with my file manager after these appointments? What I would like to know is when the interview is normally scheduled. Will it be the same day following my tests, or by phone...

Hey Brandon, I'm playing the waiting game too. Just thought I'd give you an idea of the timeframe as a fellow applicant with Halifax. I think I'm two steps ahead of you right now. I would advise you to make sure you have 4 references lined up as you could get the email with the forms to fill...

2 MONTHS! Wow. Congrats!

Yeah DAA, tell me about it. I suppose it has to do with the difference in trade selection. However, I have seen examples in this thread of Infantry NCM applications from other CFRCs moving faster than mine. I don't have any doubt in my RC though, and hope that things pick up now that testing has...

Awesome news Leafheart11! I'm calling tomorrow to see if my reference check went smoothly, I know at least one of my references were contacted a couple weeks ago. Are you doing all three (medical, aptitude and interview) in the same day? Or did they just book them all at once over the phone with...

Verge buddy, Maybe it's a good time to give up this forum for a while? You're off to BMQ in less than a month, you can't offer much more advice to potential recruits like myself, and you'd agree that your wasting your time here. Furthermore, it is frustrating to find you arguing with moderators...

I'm currently in the early stages of my application, and have been keeping it from everyone except my girlfriend and references. Decided to hold off until I'm offered a position. The most stressful part for me is that I'm also unemployed so I have little to say when visiting with friends or...

On that question I believe it's one officer to 16 soldiers so you would divide 1105/17. Unfortunately wording comes into play in problem solving a lot. Take your time on the CFAT. Anyone know if you can ask for clarification during the test?
