Kratz has a good point, having recently joined Army.ca myself, there is a strong culture of "do it yourself". I advise you take heed of his words, and start doing some research in topics around the forums, since if you join the CF you won't always have someone holding your hand. Doing some...

Non, ville de Québec! J'ai choisi Ottawa comme ville d'étude parce que je voulais sortir de la province, et ca me permettait de rentrer PFOR plus vite, au lieu de finir mon CEGEP. En plus, ils me crédittent une année de cour, donc j'ai pas à me plaindre. Tu voulais appliquer pour quels postes...

Je suis retourné au CEGEP cette année pour remonter mes notes, mais j'ai été accepté à l'université d'Ottawa en 2e année (Majeure en Études de conflits et droits humains, mineure en Russe), donc il me reste 3 ans de Bac à faire. J'ai appliqué comme officier d'artillerie et d'infantrie (Dans cet...

Pas pour le moment, c'est ma 2e année d'application au PFOR cette année, et j'attend des nouvelles vers la mi-mai à savoir si je suis selectioné. Pour la réserve, je peux pas te dire, mais c'est définitivement possible de switcher de la réserve vers la régul. Cependant, c'est un autre programe...

Woah, don't read too much into it jwtg, I assumed that if he mentioned the lack of an offer for Civvy-u, he wanted to weigh his options/was wondering if a separate offer would be forthcoming. Other than that, the rest of my message was congratulatory.

Je te suggère également d'appliquer pour le PFOR pour le reste de tes études. Non seulement tu reçois un salaire, mais tes études sont payées. Soit ils vont te faire continuer ton BAC dans ton université, ou ils vont te faire venir à RMC pour finir ton BAC, et tu vas faire ton BMOQ durant un de...

Bonne chance guys, toujours le fun de voir des francophones dédiés :D En espérant servir avec vous dans 3-4 ans hehe. PS: Les candidatures s'accumulent, oui, mais c'est pas necessairement premier arrivé premier servi. Ce qui se passe c'est que une fois que vous avez fait toutes les étapes du...

From what last year's thread mentioned, your offer is only good for the university mentioned on it, and it's highly unlikely you'll be able to negotiate to get a civvy u spot once you have an offer from RMC, since they obviously want to fill the military college before sending people to civil...

The irony of this post amuses me.

Yeah, I know they don't give out the scores, because it's all relative to the other applicants, made a slight typo above :P Anyway, it was why I was surprised that the OP had an actual numerical score.

It's weird, do they give out the score in the reserves? Because my file manager was rather adamant about telling me the scores, except that I qualified for everything.

That's impossible, St-Jean only offers CEGEP 1 and CEGEP 2 (Equivalent to the first year of university in English universities.) Unless they hired faculty staff overnight, I doubt you'll spend 4 years at St-Jean.

Because people play games and see movies, and that breeds certain expectations of what soldiers do. So they want to be in the middle of the action, or do heroic deeds, shoot stuff etc... Infantry is normally glorified a lot in war movies. That's not to say they don't do an amazing job however...

That kinda sucks. It would make sense to do the interview anyway since you're there anyway, now that you mention it.

Maybe his third choice was closed? That's what happened to me with Intelligence Officer, it was closed so I didn't get questions on it in the interview.

Well you should give careful thought to your three trades, don't think of them as 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice but rather as 3 first choices. You may be called to serve in any of your three trades. The speed of the application varies from applicant to applicant, look at the application...

Well first of all, you should pick the three trades you want to feature on your application. It varies from trade to trade, many trades will have you trained directly by the CF, for example combat engineer only requires a Sec 4 (Or grade 10), whereas a musician is obviously required to be able...

I am exactly in the same situation as you, even though my job is objectively cool, and I mean, I like it. I think one thing that helps me cope is the fact that I remember all the shitty jobs I did before and how this one is much better haha. Other than that, keep yourself busy. I know I'm worn...

Well congratulations either way! Hopefully you get some equivalencies that they'll apply towards your program in Kingston. Your best bet would probably be to call your file manager and ask him.
