I finished my tests on Feb 4th, waited a month for my med to come back and i'm merit listed since march 9th (the day my med came back). I expect a call ASAP but I won't get my hopes up too much, since the recruiting process is still a pain in the ass. Good luck to you all and keep us informed of your status!
Cheers! :warstory:

Me too.. it's hard to believe that with such instability in the world that the recruiting process motto is still : "hurry up and wait"... Plus, what will they do with the 5000 other recruits ? It's already a pain in the ass to apply in the forces, how will they handle 5000 new applications? I hate them (liberals).
Cheers!

I wonder how many applicants that have been waiting a long time give up and move on to something else or become "turned off" by the recruiting process.
Like any other employer, I am sure they must receive a stack of apps a mile high. They have to go through them carefully so they don't waste money & ensure that they get the best possible person for the job. I can appreciate their position.
What I find frustrating is if you ask five people the same question, you get three different answers. The worst is hearing "I don't know who told you that!" :-\

I don't know for you, but if they didn't call me in 6 months i'll say fuck off and get back to my civvy life. I can't waste my entire life waiting for the phone to ring ! I understand they have lots of applicants, but as you said, how many of them wich would have been oustanding soldiers got turned off because of the recruiting process? This talent the CF will never benefit of, just because of their lack of understanding.
They don't know how you can be motivated when you just handed you application form, they don't know you'd like to start tomorrow if possible! What they surely don't know is that the motivation slowly fades away as the months passes... Then they end with an unmotivated or really pissed off person who's not even sure if they still want the job or not... it's really sad in my view.
just my 2 cents..
Cheers!

Nitz,
There is no doubt in my mind that they have lost countless outstanding people that could have served.
I guess their view is - if you give up; we don't want you. Also, if you give up, there are others in line. The unfortunate part is time flies and we all have mouths to feed. I guess if you can grab a "civi detail" and wait for the call that is your best hope. I hate to use the phrase we have all heard before but "It depends on how bad you want it" Chin up lad.
Having said that, it does make me wonder how they are going to satisfy such an ambitious recruiting drive (given the new budget) under the current infrastructure.

GoodRow said:
I totally agree with you there. By chance, i already have a well-paid civvy job to help pass the time
The infrastructure will never be able to process so much applications. I heard they were only 2 doctors reviewing medicals in Borden (not sure if this is true). Plus, there are already lots of people on PAT platoons waiting for their training, what will happend if they rush in 5000 new applicants over 5 years? A disaster. IMHO, they'll need to reorganise the whole thing, from the start to the end.
Cheers
