He will be 23 by the time the 2014 year starts - Could he apply as a mature student? If so do they even bother looking at your marks?

My fiance is applying this coming fall. He has been out of high school now for 4 years, working full time. He is currently enrolled in a certificate program at Sheridan College, doing it online and getting 90's. It being a certificate course I'm not sure if they'll use these marks or his high...

Trust me, you have me completely wrong. I realize he COULD just get up and go but would prefer if I came with him. So maybe I worded that wrong - I am on here deciding if this life will be good for our family. Yes we are in our early 20's and I completely realize it will make a huge difference...

This is a huge decision. He is asking me to basically leave the life we had planned to pursue something else, in different parts of the country. I will have to leave my job and we have worked for the last 2 years to save up for a house and moved in a month ago today but this decision will...

What would these other ways be?

After all my researched I've decided to let him go ahead with his decision. What are his other options? If he sat down with a recruiter and said he wanted to join the forces what would then happen? I know he has to apply and go through testing but how long would all of that take? How long...

So you can't join the forces for a couple years and then go the ROTP/RMC route? If I go to the forces.ca website and  browse jobs theres Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator and there is a star next to it saying it is in demand. All you need is high school. Would that not be a possibility at all...

Yes completely just thinking about it at this point as he has missed the January cutoff for applications. We have been talking it over tonight and I think he is going to the recruiters on Friday as he now really would like to apply for a full time reserves position as the starting salary is...

At this point he won't be able to apply until the fall and wouldn't be able to attend until next summer. Do you think it would be beneficial (in getting accepted into the ROTP program) for him to join the reserves? Also would they look at his high school grades? He is currently doing a college...

Thank you sooo much, your post was incredibly helpful and I enjoyed your desiderata quote in your signature :) How do you go about getting into a CivUniversity? My (limited) understanding is you basically can't unless you're already attending a university or RMC doesn't offer your program. Is...

Do ALL recruits have to do the year in Saint-Jean? And then is it 3 or 4 years in Kingston? I know there are other options with a higher pay but he is intent on getting a degree in the process. You have all been very helpful!

I can't afford to carry the mortgage, prop. taxes, insurance, utilities, expenses on my wage alone. We spend about $3000 a month on all our expenses where we currently are and I only contribute about $1000 a month while he takes care of the rest. There is the option of moving into my parents...

You're right that majority of my questions are about money as I am worried that we would go and have no money for our daughter. His original plan after high school was to go to RMC but then he met me and we had a baby and he no longer felt it was possible. Now he is back at this line of...

Hi there, My fiancé is thinking of attending RMC for Business Admin. I am trying to decide if this is the right move for our family. We currently live in Hamilton where he works full time, making $15/hr and I work part time making $15/hour, we also own a home here and my mother watches our...
