I guess I will speak more to my trade this year and to the past numbers. When I had contacted the recruiter, she had explained to me that the recruitment numbers in terms of ALL trades and ALL branches of the military recruited approximately 2500; this year's current projections (that they...

It is interesting to see how vague the article is, in terms of the who and where. It seems like complete speculation, designed to frighten the country into protest. However, I am interested to see how the cuts in terms of civilian employment through DND might affect recruitment numbers. If there...

Hey there, good luck on your application! In terms of lesser deployment positions, I personally think that can be deceiving. Although you may not be deployed in some positions, there will be a great deal of time that you can be away for training, exercises, courses. I will speak to the other...

Congratulations, good to always hear of a success story!

After contacting the recruitment center in my area, I spoke with a very nice recruiter. I was excited to find out that projected recruitment numbers are quite a bit higher than the previous year. The other thing I found interesting when I spoke with her was that although applications are not...

Okay, then that aside, is it still possible for me to change my trade choices without having to wait, and reapply in the new fiscal year?

I am a Canadian citizen (Canadian born), under 30, currently hold a Bachelor Degree (which was earned with a B+ or higher average), never been arrested or convicted of a criminal offence. I have all my transcripts handed in, to my knowledge they completed another security screening, which I know...

Would that mean that one of the trades that I had applied for became open? Or all of them? I guess that I was hoping that someone could speak to this in generalities, as opposed to a specific situation. What is the process of rejection in this manner? That is my question.

Is this common though? Why do centers review files? I just never thought that I would get a flat out no without anyone meeting me. I thought my application was fairly solid, no credit issues, complete application including transcripts and degree. Can I choose other trades without having to reapply?

I have a question for all the recruiters out there, if they could give me assistance, it would be greatly appreciated! I applied for DEO positions back in August, and was told by the recruitment center that the trades I had chosen were closed, and that I probably would not hear from the CF...

I feel like I have researched a lot, but I will ask if there are any MP officers out there that could tell me a little more about how they feel about their positions. This is the trade that I am really taking into consideration as a choice, and replacing another choice. Any MP officers? Also...

Okay now, piggyback question to that, is there a way that I can take my CFAT and go through that process prior to picking the desired trades? That way that portion is done, and I can be merited? Also, is there anything that I can include within my application or add to my application that might...

That was my thought as well. Like I said, my first choice trade, I believe, is a competitive trade, and a trade that isn't readily available. (at least from from what I have heard from the recruitment side) I am just trying to weigh my options better. I know that the CFAT defines the aptitude...

He did say, that I could enter an officer trade, such as artillery (this or logistics was suggested to me by the recruiter) would accept any degree. I could enter applying for these trades, finish the training, spend a year or two within that trade, then transfer into the trade of my choice. He...

It is not that I DON'T want the trade, I am waffling between two trades, and if I have a better chance at getting in with one more so than the other, that is where my question on open trades. I have been told by recruiters that the website doesn't accurately reflect the opportunities. I was told...

Okay, this is going to sound like a ridiculous question, but would anyone have any information on what trade might have MORE openings to it in the coming year? I am considering changing one of my options to MP officer. I wanted to have my app in, but now I am considering changing an option. I...

My reasoning behind this question is that I am currently considering other occupations other than the ones that I had chosen, and I don't want to, I guess, "miss the boat" on one of the trades that I am looking into, other than the ones listed. I know that in regards to the trades that I have...

Quick question for any recruiters on this site... I currently have my application into the forces, and I know that the trades I want come up few and far between, so I have no delusions that I will get in quickly, I know it is a waiting game. However, I would like some opinions on this. Who is...
