All good points guys! Another thing if you're out of country, keep records. One of the challenges in getting these checks done is the fact that I cannot prove residence. They accept a phone bill, bank statement... anything that shows your name and address... Something I never thought to keep 4...

When did you apply? It may be a change resulting in the billion dollar cut this year. It's almost done though. Hopefully doesn't slow things down too much.

Nov 21 for a lot of trades. The local CFRC won't be able to confirm any selection until next week... so I've been told. Gonna be an anxious weekend for you!

Good Luck!!! What are you going for?

This is from DAA... I asked about selections on Nov 21... Once the selections are done, then the results need to be validated.  Once they are validated, they must be approved.  After they are approved, then the results are sent to the respective CFRC's for continued processing. So your CFRC...

They give up on you and call the next guy...  :facepalm: Just kidding! I would suspect they leave a message for you to call back.

Keep trying to contact them. phone calls, emails and go to the recruiting center. If you can't get in touch with anyone to cancel or reschedule then proceed with your CFAT as scheduled. Bring absolutely every piece of ID you have... not that it will help without photo ID but it's worth a shot...

I spent some time out of country. I was asked to obtain my own criminal/credit check from that country.

Everyone has a bad day. The recruiter is probably stressed out and taking it out on you. Ever heard the expression "Sh*t rolls down hill"? Don't take it personally. Keep reading the sites. Check out "basic up" on youtube. Maybe go to the local reserve unit and ask to talk to some of the guys...

I submitted my online application in Sept 2012. At that time, I received an email asking for some more documents (ie, birth certificate & transcripts). I submitted those and did not hear anything until April of 2013 when my file was transferred to the local recruiting center 7 months later...

I don't know but the website says they're hiring for that trade so I'm sure one will be coming up. Your recruiter will know. DAA will probably know too. Are you Merit Listed? Don't get discouraged! It could be a lot worse!

Agreed! See his name a lot and it's always to the point. I like it!

Thanks! Darn! I won't be Merit Listed in time. Do you know when the next one is or will that be based on Nov 21 results? How many positions are available? Last I heard there was only a couple spots left. If all positions are filled will there be no more selection until the new fiscal year...

Hey DAA, how about ACop???

The way I understand it, and I'm far from an expert, is that there are selection dates for each available trade the CF is currently hiring for. You need to be Merit Listed to be considered on the selection date. On the selection date they review all Merit Listed applicants and choose the best...

Think of this as your pre-BMQ training. You have to study, ask for help in areas where you need it, achieve objectives all while performing other duties like being a father and husband. Take the initiative and just get it done! Trust me when I say that there is a very good chance this will not...

I applied Nov 2012 and just did my interview & medical last month. It was probably 6 months from the time I applied to the time I heard anything from a local recruiter. I did have some specific delays though. At the same time, I've seen guys apply, tested, and in BMQ within 6 months. Each case...

Anyone have any experience getting credit/criminal record checks in England. I spent 8 months there a few years ago and now need the checks done. Most website (ie, equifax) need a current UK address which I obviously don't have. I've got emails into the companies but just thought I'd see if...

Hi All, This is my first post so go easy on me! Been reading a lot of your advice and examples. Thanks everyone for posting. It's been a huge help! Congrats to all those who are going to BMQ and for the rest of us, KCCO! If we think this is tough and frustrating, I hear BMQ is just a little bit...
