I will cross my fingers for you, good luck! And (hopefully) congrats!!

It is their job to answer mundane questions from us, so I don't think you're bothering them, you're just being persistent, which is great. (if you don't advocate for yourself, who will!?) I contacted the recruitment center not too long ago, and asked about the status of my file, he said it was...

I am not sure for smaller bases, but I know that the MFRCs on larger bases to offer support programs for children that have a parent deployed. There are after school programs available at some MFRCs specifically designed for children with a deployed parent, and I do believe that there are...

From my limited experience, when you fill out the application form for DEO, there is a section where you fill out the your educational background. A general graduating GPA question is asked. (Highest level of education, being secondary school, post secondary, post secondary with a B+ grade...

Yeah, it should be, it is so much less efficient than the one in Edmonton. Fastest Timmies in North America, I swear!

Honestly, from an investment side of things, purchasing seems like a good idea. I know it is only three years, but the real estate market, from what I have noticed (I live in Kingston) has been fairly stable in terms of housing prices. Also, if you own where you currently are, the military is...

Good luck on your CFAT! Cheers

You aren't allowed to use calculators on the aptitude test; however if you know your math, you won't need one. Good luck!

As I am reading, I just have a few questions. Why do you want to join the military? What are your goals within the military? You seem very sure of the path you want to take educationally speaking; however you don't seem to have any particular desires in terms of your military career, other than...

Armywife (getting back on topic) where are you applying out of? If you don't have a recruitment center really close you can always contact the main center, although I find the local ones a little friendlier. I see a lot of people posting on here that they don't want to pester the centers, but I...

I'm not sure that it would look "bad" if you refused a position with the CF, but I do understand what you mean by that. You don't want to turn something down and make them think that you're not that interested. I guess it depends on what you want as a trade. If you call the recruitment center...

It will all depend on WHEN your trades open up, some of them might open in April, the start of the fiscal year, or they might not open until later on in the year. IF you call the recruitment center, you might be able to ask them about projected numbers for the trades in the upcoming fiscal year...

Just go into the recruitment center and ask them if you can change your option, they are usually pretty good about letting you change the option. Depending on when you applied, you might not have even been processed yet, and if you have, and they deemed you non-suitable for your chosen trades...

I didn't think that he had said anything about applying for ROTP- rather than applying for an NCM position, he wants to apply for an officer position, so yes then, estoguy, you are correct. In order to apply for direct entry as an infantry officer you require a university degree. (although ANY...

It is an interesting form of consequence, considering the much more extreme and possibly abusive punishments this man could have chosen. Being a teacher, I have witnessed both extremes of parenting. The parents that refuse to believe that their child has caused a problem, or the parent that...

I do find it interesting that one of the main arguments for not bringing these people over is that "we" are taking people away from Afghanistan thatwould be capable of building up their country. I know of, and have heard many stories of, many Afghan citizens that have immigrated to the country...

I found it very interesting last night, as I was watching the news, they had an interview with a member of the Muslim Association of Canada, and her response to the idea of honor killings and Islam. She thought that immigrants coming into Canada should learn Canadian culture and should adapt to...

That has been the indication that I have been getting from the TDOs that I have come in contact with. I was surprised that they dropped the educational requirements, but perhaps that is to get people in with more experience in the field, and to possibly recruit an older candidate. Thanks for the...

I am applying for DEO as a TDO. In all honesty, it is the only choice in terms of trades I am hoping for. I know that in the past, a great deal of TDO positions have been filled by OTs from inside the CF, hence it not being an open trade. There has been an increase in need in this area, and as...

It is interesting that the first quote that you took, "I guess," you took out of context. In terms of self editing, I will speak to what I have learned about the trade that I am applying for. This year there is an increase in DEO entries, specifically related to my trade, wherein years past, the...
