Have you talked to anyone in this trade? Are there not other trades still open? I don't think laser surgery comes with a 100% guarantee. In the end it is your call.

The backlog still hasn't cleared. I handed in my forms on June 23rd and I am also waiting.

Yes, but look at the Mulroney years. Two terms and they were still overspending hand over fist. I just don't have any faith in any of them.

Amen to that. I also believe it is a myth though that the Conservatives care about fiscal responsibility.

Yes, Reserves is different, but it is not 'totally' different. Recently I have seen people on these forums applying to the Reg Forces posting that they have been told it will be a minimum of 12 weeks before they get the news. I am just saying this so you can prepare yourself if necessary.

Well I don't know what the doctor situation in the CF is like, but Canada is short of doctors. In my area there is a 3 year wait to get a family doctor. Also, reading medical files all day may not be for everyone. Also, we just came out of summer when many of the reviewers probably took their...

Whoa. I don't know about this. I for a fact some people get a Phd so they can delay 'having to deal with the real world'. What I find puzzling is somebody with no experience is inserted into the rank structure above those with considerable experience automatically. I hear that people entering...

I have been waiting since late June for my file to come back from Ottawa. I was told the wait time is now 17 weeks. Some medical files require additional review that is why the wait times are different.

Well if nothing else you can say hello to Otis and FDO.

The current system seems very bizarre to me. For example, it seems strange that just because someone has a degree they get inserted into the rank structure above people who have done tours.

Oh, I am sure that people are talking about it no doubt. I believe their time might be better spent learning Mandarin though. From personal experience I can tell you the US was protectionist BEFORE the recent down turn. The protectionists would never go for it now. Also, the US is a less...

The second half of number 2 is giving up far too much in my opinion. Erasing the border gives me Mulroney flashbacks.... I can't see the Americans going for any of it.

The ALL the raw data would be interesting to see...... Here is an interesting clip from the old show Yes, Prime Minister Opinion Polls: Getting the results you want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yhN1IDLQjo

According the Cornwall Free News and the CBSA website the border crossing is open again.  :o

Does anyone have any news regarding this crossing? I read a blog from someone in Cornwall saying the both the US and Canadian bridges have been closed. The CBSA website is also saying the border crossing is closed in both directions. What's going on there?

I believe they would have already told you at the medical if you did not qualify for V3 or better.

I suggest you take the vision acuity test at the medical before jumping to any conclusions.
