There is tons of information here already. I'm not a moderator, but I don't think a new thread was needed - this is just my two cents. I wish you the best.

Thank you to all who took the time to answer something I genuinely didn't understand.

Hi, In case it is determined that you require Pre Assessment Security Screening, the Recruting Centre will ask you fill up the Form 330-60. This is the link to the form - http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/tbsf-fsct/330-60-eng.pdf. This is a fillable form, so it is better to type it out, rather than...

I happen to live just a few kilometers from the US border and have spoken with a recruiter from down south. In order for one to join the US military, one needs to be a Permanent Resident at the very least. Certain occupations (even enlisted ones) have a citizenship requirement. To be an officer...

Quick question - do Reserve DEOs get their (metal) RCA cap badges only after BMQ?

Jackson, I wish you the very, very best! One doesn't hear a story like yours often.

Mojo Magnum, You spoke about "illegal boards". Can you please tell me what this means? Thanks, AGB.

I too had referred to the info in the link provided by the OP when I was preparing for my interview. There are some pointers in my post (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/105342.0.html). I am not a recruiter or a member of the CF. The info shared in my post had worked well for me, that is...

I don't see what the big deal is about undergoing urine/ blood/ any other kind of medical/ non medical testing.

They didn't ask for a urine or blood sample from me and I've had my medicals done twice since 2009 when I first applied.

Eye In The Sky; All the "advice" that I have shared here is verbatim what has been told to me by Canadian Forces recruiting staff (Officers and NCMs) working at RCs and militia units. I keep a diary in which I record all that has happened during the day. Among other things, I make sure to...

Hi Ward, I've been meaning to send you a PM, because we're in much the same situation. My sincerest advice to you is to join a trade that you can see yourself in till retirement. Speak with any recruiter and they will say the same thing. Infantry Officer and Infantry Soldier are two...

Hey Ward, No problem at all. We are all driven towards the same goal. All the best!

Hi Ward, I'm in the exact same situation as you are - minus the run around part. From my experience, you absolutely need a letter from the militia regiment which is willing to accept you. For NCM candidates, the process is - 1. Contact the unit recruiter and set up a time to meet; 2. He/...

Hello Danjanou, Thank you - it sure feels good to be recognized and appreciated. You couldn't be more correct about spending time in preparation, be it for the CF or for that matter any job on the civvy street. If one wants something, it is essential to deserve it. Equally important is to...

LOL, yes - Artillery is my first choice. I would choose to be an Artillery O, over a billion dollar lottery. My application process began in 2009. I had been merit listed for Arty at that time. However my file had to be closed shortly after the Security Clearance forms were sent to DPM...

Hi Trick, You're correct about the initiative part. Going in with all the letters was purely my own brainchild along with all the rest of the preparation which I had done. The competition these days is fierce. My mindset during the entire selection process has been to get the highest scores...

Hello CSouth, I had done the following in preparation for my interview - 1. Info on the Internet - I went over all the material that was posted for the trades of my choice on the following websites - a. www.forces.ca b. www.forces.gc.ca c...

rdinsdal: I am an applicant for a DEO position. I have also been tempted to join the CF via the NCM route and then work my way up. However, all the staff I have spoken with at the RC advised me not to consider that option. They have all told me to "join a job that you really want to do", that...

I am not a CF recruiter, but I do work in a law enforcement agency. If you have been denied Reliability Status, for any reason, you must know what you did for them to not clear your papers. Now, you are only 22, so time is to your advantage. Whatever wrong you had done, try to do things which...
