For all prospective NCSE's, I found this to be the most thorough explanation of what the life of an NCSE is like from BMOQ to your HOD tour. Although it was written in 2008, I think the only thing that has changed is that NOAB is no longer extended out to NCSE's and MSE's...

Thank you for your response. I was hoping to get a little more than that though  ::)

Good day, I made a big decision this week to accept my offer for NCSE officer at the age of 30. I am doing very well in my current career, making good money and progressing quickly. However, for me, this is a once in a life time opportunity and now is always better than later for making a...

No... and he covered this numerous times with specific examples: 1) You might be #2 at 10am, but 50 people could be processed through the day and you could drop to #42 because 40 of those 50 files are stronger than yours.  Then next day you could move from #42 to #22 because 20 people have...

Thanks for keeping us posted!  :salute:

Hello, Did the selection for NCSE take place on May 31st, or did they postpone it again. Thank you

Once your file is fully completed i.e. interviews, medical, testing, background check, etc, etc, your local recruitment office will pass on your file to HQ in Borden where you will be placed on a ranked competition list (formerly known as merit list). Your position on the list is based on a...

I wouldn't worry about it, so long as he mentions that you work for him or have worked for him. Your references seem like really good sources.

Your reference check is being conducted by a third party company (Mintz Global Screening). You should have informed your references beforehand so that they would expect a call. The rules on the application are clear: Members of the family or relatives, family friends, friends, neighbours...

I don't understand why I got moved here. I followed the outline in the first post of the [Application Process Samples thread. I am providing some details about my experience with the process which could give others some additional perspective. Plenty of people have been providing additional...

The email from eRecruiting@dnd.ca that you should have received shortly after submitting your online application: Good day. This notice is to confirm the receipt of your on-line employment application to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and to inform you that your file has been opened at the...

I've had no problems with electronically filled in forms. I later filled some parts in with pen.

>:( Beware of third party company (Mintz Global Screening, formerly Garda) and their bogus reference checks >:( My application file, although entirely completed, has been sitting on my MCC's desk for weeks now because Mintz Global Screening allegedly failed to contact BOTH my employment...

Well that was certainly a most unexpectedly detailed response, PM included! Thank you very much for taking the time to look into it for me. You saved me at least one trip to the Toronto CFRC, and in the event that I had gone there I wouldn't have received this much information anyways. Since...

Well said, and I agree that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves regardless of their reasons for joining.

Well that is interesting then isn't it? I have a dual citizenship as well, the second being Polish. I've lived in Canada since I was 2 years old and I am 27 now. This isn't a civilian job and I feel like in order to keep it functioning as a Canadian army you want recruits that have some kind...

Well if he's as committed as he says he is then he should be back. I'm quite curious about it to be honest.

You were born and raised in Lebanon for 24 years of your life but you have a Canadian citizenship? Interesting.

Thanks Buck. I'll just relay what I know and what I was told; hopefully you can provide me with some more details. There are 10 openings for NCSE - DEO, my number one choice. I was told that I should be merit listed this week because my completed file came back to the CFRC and all I need is a...
