Thanks, MarioMike!

Also, this is such an idiot question but could someone tell me the exact terminology to use in the search engine for Communicator Research Op?

Thank you for that advice, LoKe. I will look into finishing off the French education. With my existing knowledge, I should be able to pick it up to a decent level by the time I apply in March. Plus it will probably open up some dusty old neurological pathways for languages, which can't hurt. As...

I am not the world's toughest person, but I am not sensitive to sarcasm. I am also not afraid to defend or clarify myself when necessary.

I am not attempting to get into intel, I am going for communicator research operator. Quote from the video on forces.ca "foreign language skills are extremely valuable to a comm rsch op.  If you can speak, read, or write in any language other than french or English, or if you have a gift for...

From the same thread: " Of course higher education make your candidature more attractive but potential and having the right mind for the job is more important.  So it is a competition, having the best file as possible is preferable.  Foreign language gives more points to the file.  Yes Int uses...

Yeah, I was thinking I should probably learn French. I can understand spoken French but my knowledge of speaking/writing stinks. But I was wondering about learning a language applicable to our current engagaments as a country ie: Persian/dari/pashto (Afghanistan), Swahili, or even mandarin or...

Thank you again for all the replies! CDN aviator, I want to apologize if I may have come off wrong, and thank you for you knowledge and advice on the topic of applying. I wasn't aware that there had been major changes in the amount of applicants or minimum recs since a few years back. I will...

Hey hey, no need to be like that. As expressed, I am willing to do whatever it takes, be that upgrading, learning new sciences, heck even learning a new language if need be. I do understand the meaning of competition, I am simply hearing 2 different stories....the recruiters are telling me to...

Loke, The minimum requirement is math 10, but it seems all of the recruiters are pushing me to make myself the best applicant (which I can understand). Do they know s)omething i dont? I understand its very competitive but it seems to me that with comm rsch being understaffed and me having all...

update: So I spoke with a recruiter yesterday who did confirm tthat there are 15 spots open for comm rsch. However she said that because i meet only the basic requirements, and because I will need to have my transcripts converted over by ICES ( I went to high school in the states), that it...

Sorry to be such a newbie, but does " red" mean understaffed?

Hi all, Regarding the SAT, I was mainly considering taking it because I am a very good test taker, and it could possibly show my level of aptitude. But if its truly uncommon in Canada and nobody will know what the heck I'm talking about, I'll skip it.

Thank you again everyone for your speedy replies. I will give the recruitment office a call and ask for some numbers on the openings per occupation. Regarding the debts, does anyone know of a good debt repayment service? I'm in BC. One of the loans is a federal student loan.

Thanks for the reply, Animatronic Fireman. A little clarification on my questions: 1. I saw elsewhere on the ssite that some people (recruiters? not sure) had posted actual figures on the amount of applicants versus spaces open in the trade. I was kind of hoping for something like that. Should...

After reading through tons of different threads and gathering some awesome information, I've decided to post my own series of questions. To preface, I am a 25 year old living in Vancouver, beginning the recruitment process. Score 98th percentile in standardized tests for...
