If, during the recruiting process, you are found not to meet any of the requirements, you will be told at that time. Be aware, however, that some things like additional medical review or security checks can take some time to complete if they are not straightforward.
The more likely case that you may want to consider is that you may be found suitable for the trades of your choice and still face a lengthy wait before you might get an offer. That wait could be many months depending on the trade you want.

I'm in the exact same situation. I applied for DEO and started my application process back in Feb. Did my CFAT, interview and medical. But right now they put a hold on my application until I get my diploma - which means I have to wait until May 31. I submitted this letter from my university which stats that I've met all graduation requirements and expect to graduate this semester, but it was a no go =(.
Right now I'm seeing if I can get my university to rush me a copy of my degree early.

A degree is not a tangible thing. You are admitted to it. It is not something you can hold or show people. Presumably, your mean the diploma, which is the piece of paper you hang on your wall. Unfortunately, the diploma is not what the recruiting centre is looking for (you can print up a really pretty one yourself with a compter and a decent printer). You will need to have your institution submit a transcript on your behalf. This is an official document provided by the university and will confirm your admission to a degree. That unfortunately, will take as much time as it takes the institution to do it.
Semantics? Perhaps, but it is useful to know the distinctions, particularly if one aspires to leadership positions.
Good job. Don't be afraid to contact your local CFRC and ask where your application sits (or go in and talk to them they DON'T bite) if you wait awhile with no call. I waited about a month for my first call and then went in and talked to someone, after that I got a CFAT scheduled on the spot and went through with a medical and interview in less then a month.
Good Luck with your application.

I started the process in November 2009, and went to BMQ in July of 2010...it all depends on how straight forward things are for you...send me a message if you have any questions, I will be glad to help.

If you are not on the merit list, you won't be getting a job. If you are on the merit list, you might get a job.
If your CFRC told you that I would take it as the truth they aren't there to lead you on. Dont take anything I say as definate as im not a recruiter or even in yet but Just based on what ive been told and read once your merit listed your competing for openings in that position. If there are only 8 positions and 12 people merit listed i'd say 4 people are going to keep waiting until they qualify above others for an opening. I know some people will sit on merit list for months before any formal offers are made. Again this is just based on knowledge aquired and I accept and appreciate being corrected by anyone that has more knowledge on the topic.

vhaust: Take a peek at one of the most recent threads - Application Process Samples in "the recruiting process" That will give you more examples of how long it took people for just about any stage of the process (rather then all of us writing it out - again)
