Well that's good for you...and here I am waiting since July and still haven't done anything for Infantry. What's up with that?

What CFRC??  You need to do some serious hounding!!!  Last time I asked, infantry opened this fiscal year and so you should be booking your tests.

Has anyone heard anything from CFRC Edmonton or Calgary yet?

Kitchener, ON

I have went in already beginning of April, had the CFAT booked, only to be called 2 hours later to have it "canceled until further notice" due to this "scoring system" they are using. Emailed my recruiter about it since it was the lady at the front desk who was handling it. He said he was away in Borden for the month teaching, and told me more about the "scoring system". Going to update my file in the next few weeks since I will be receiving my college diploma soon, and hopefully squeeze in some more volunteer work on weekends.

Unfortunately, Kitchener has to bring someone in who can administer the CFAT and the medical and they usually bring someone from Toronto or Hamilton.  Unfortunately, at this time of year, both CFRCs are busy, ergo, Kitchener applicants are forced to wait Try booking your tests in TO, if the drive isnt too far for you.  Just a thought, good luck

I was in CFRC Calgary yesterday and was told they're still doing selections. The WO then told me to wait another month and check back if I hadn't heard anything from them. This was for Sig Op.

Thanks for the advice! moving back home for the summer tomorrow. But even then the 3 hour drive to Toronto would be worth it. My plan for next winter is still up in the air (since starting an electrical apprenticeship wouldn't be worth it, would have to quit for the Forces).

Yeah, I could be wrong, its been a while since I worked at CFRC Hamilton, but its worth the shot.  Plus, CFRC TO is a main recruiting hub, therefore, things tend to go a little faster/smoother.  Anyways, good luck

Still makes me feel a little ticked off, would of been much easier to make the trip to T.O. while I was living in Kitchener for the past 8 months. Seems a little biased from my perspective.

Thank you army.ca, this site was very helpful for all of my questions, all of which I found by reading rather than posting.

By the way, my experience with CFRC Kitchener was nothing short of exceptional.  Everyone was great to deal with and very helpful.

Meet my fellow team members July 4th!....or maybe July 2nd when I fly out from Toronto?
