I was an Electronics Tech for 14 years. I applied in March to the CF for LCIS and ATIS. I got an offer for LCIS 2 months later, having no problems or hold-ups. I asked them to do my PLAR after I got an offer as getting in sooner was more important since I am out of a job right now, and BMQs were...

I'll also be joining you guys! I'm 37 and live in Windsor, Ontario. I fly to St. Jean July 24th to start BMQ for July 26th. I am going for LCIS (Army), as I have been an Electronics Tech for over 14 years. I have never flown on anything before, and after watching "The Amazing Race" too many...

Wow, this thread makes me feel young again! I am 37 and going into BMQ in July for LCIS. I was in army cadets over 20 years ago in Chatham Ontario. The weapons we fired were the FNC1A1 (semi-auto) while we were at bases on weekends and summer courses. I couldn't remember if Ipperwash had a...

Well I have finally applied and passed my CFAT. The recruiter said I did very well. I am applying for LCIS/ATIS which is a good fit as I was an Electronics Technician for 14 years. I am also a major computer/audio/video nut! I like the idea of doing something that has many different things to...

Battlefield Bad Company 2 (PC BETA). Endless destruction has NEVER been so much fun!

I am currently playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 (BETA) on the PC.  It absolutely rocks!  I have been playing ALL the Battlefield games (online) since they first came out on the PC years ago! (I didn't get to play Bad Company 1 cause I don't have a console to play it on) I play BF BC 2 (and all...

Yes, this would be from breaking the mortgage 6 to 12 months early. Could be up to $4000!  >:( We assume this... however, from what many people say on these boards... its still better to buy a home during that time if possible if its going to be 1 to 3 years of being there. We would rent...

Here I think lies my problem... and probably what my recruiter may be referring to.  My diploma is for 2 year (no school during summer) Electronics Technician at St. Clair College...  its not an Electronics ENGINEERING Technician diploma (which they had at St. Clair but that was 3 years, no...

What is IR? I'm still learning the 1000's off abbreviations on this site... Also what is CD? Thanks for the info. I grew up in Chatham Ontario, so when I moved to Windsor, the cost of living there was high compared to Chatham. I also was in Army Cadets for years and was at Ipperwash and...

I currently live in Windsor, Ontario. Just lost a job as an Electronics Technician for 14 years ($22/hour). We have been paying for our own home here for over 8 years now. Jobs are hard to find and they are mostly minimum wage. My wife runs a home day care from our house. I have 2 kids that are...

Is getting a PLAR a way of getting Certification from OACETT as a C.Tech? Or is that something I have to do on my own? I would assume I "could" be considered semi-skilled, since I've been doing this for 14 years. I wouldn't think I could bypass ALL of POET, but definetly some of it!  Anything...

After reading your helpful answers, I called up my recruiter again to clarify some things. When I said Direct Entry I always meant Normal enrolment, not "skilled". NE Techs are being processed but are not open. To put it simply he described the pay for normal enrolment, the same as the Pay...
