We were all initially told January 17, 2011 but based on the sample of people who are in the Facebook group, quite a few of us have gotten calls back changing it. The majority of us appear to have November 8, 2010 start dates now.  One or two still appear to have January 17, 2011 dates.

Your best bet is likely to talk to your recruiter and see what your options and chances are - and be prepared to wait.  As an update from my personal situation, those of us who passed the last NOAB (in July) have been getting BMOQ start date calls for the past couple of weeks. If you end up on...

I was also at the one in July - the biggest surprise was how short the interview was.  Since they are interviewing close to 30 people per day, it's a very fast process.  The informal assessments are very important... show up on time! As Pegcity posted, there were quite a few people who went...

Hey everyone!  I just got off the phone with CFRC Ottawa and I've been loaded onto the NOAB! Can't wait to meet you all!

I'm in Ottawa too!  I've had my phone on my desk all week, hoping to hear something.  It was the first thing I did this morning!  Hopefully soon!

I was told that the next NOAB was sometime in July as well - the dates were from here, of course.  I spoke with my file manager yesterday who said that they generally hear sometime between 1 and 3 weeks before the NOAB itself.  I'll let it play out by itself for now and call in a couple of...

I interviewed for MARS on May 6th and was informed that although there were 5 spots open they wouldn't be awarded until after the NOAB - the next of which is apparently scheduled for July.  I'm not letting myself get bent out of shape about the number of spots left, especially since it's the...

Based on my experience, if you remain at the same university you can't choose which years to submit with respect to your transcript.  They will include all of the courses taken at the school, courses taken on letter of permission at another institution or any exchange credits that you have. ...

Thanks, George, that's what I thought would come out of it. I've been researching the actual duties, etc. of the choices which probably isn't helping - that's why I keep adding to the list of interesting careers as opposed to decreasing.  I will definitely focus on the medical/physical...

Hi Everyone, I've currently left my job and am in the process of moving to Ottawa where I plan to apply for the military (I've been in transition for the past month and a half, so I haven't had a chance to talk to a recruiter since leaving Calgary).  Throughout my research I've noticed several...

With respect to ArmyVern's post - I would think that having SLT offered solely through distance would be a bit of a hindrance since one would think that there would be less focus/time put into the process.  I always find that learning languages is best through Immersion, followed by classroom...

I'm knocking on wood here, but so far I've been happy with Air Canada... or at least reasonably so.  I was flying business class to Colombia, though, and felt very overlooked by all but the male flight attendant (the only Spanish speaker - he was dealing with the coach cabin).  The surly older...

Definitely "Dark Knight" and "Indiana Jones." Someone mentioned a James Bond movie - I don't see it on the list.  When is there a follow-up to Casino Royale coming out? I will also likely rent the "Sex and the City" movie after it's out on DVD.

I just drove from Calgary to Ontario.  My two cents is for you to go through the States - especially if money is at all an issue.  I was paying way less for gas, accomodations and food down in the States than in Canada.  My little mazda3 was only ~$40 to fill up in the States compared to over...

Baqi - milk is still good for you!  Lots of people I know cut it out because they're worried they'll gain weight, but milk after a workout helps with building muscle.  My trainer was always pushing me to drink it after a weight session.

I picked up a few sometime while living overseas and had done the painful burning treatments - they ended up not working, to be honest.  I went to the doctor and received this extremely concentrated paste that I applied daily after cleaning and scraping my foot.  You just had to be careful not...
