Hey guys, not sure if I should put this here or not.

I applied back in late October online (choices I put were Infantry and Combat Engineer) and sent in my transcript and all other required papers to North Bay. Since about mid November, everything on my "Application Status" page is blank (no dates or confirmations beside anything). I made a thread asking if anyone had any advice or similar experiences and it turned out a lot of people did have similar things happen to them.

Since then, I received an e-mail saying;

"Thank you for your interest in the Canadian Forces (CF).  This email is to confirm the receipt of your application and required documents and to inform you that your applicant file is now complete.

Please note that your occupation choice(s) is/are currently unavailable for intake however, we will hold your file open at this location for one year from the date of application in the event a position opens up.

If you have any questions regarding your file, please feel free to contact us at the number below."


After getting this e-mail, I was never contacted again and my page never was updated to let me know if I should send anything else in or if I was scheduled for anything. I'm not sure what to do and I think I've waited long enough with a blank page to say something. Thanks for any help guys, I really, truly appreciate it.

That means that your file will remain closed until a position opens up. It happened to a friend and she had to wait for over a year. Just be patient. They will reopen it when a position is available.



As for me, I brought my forms in person to Ottawa as they requested, and now they're going to be completing my background and such and then it's a waiting game for my CFAT, Interview, and Medical! The guy told me that my file wouldn't be there if there wasn't positions available / if I wasn't competitive as an applicant, but would not tell me exactly how many positions. SO I'm excited. He told me to call them in a month if I hear nothing to check the status on my file, so within a month I should be scheduled!  (I HOPE!)

Dropped off my forms and scheduled my interview. Still waiting on my previous medical file to be requested so my medical can be booked. Hopefully they get it this week so i can get it done next week after my interview. It would be awesome if they believe me when i tell them i am in great shape and i don't have to get cleared from a civilian doctor after my medical.

BMOQ Begins: Hopefully within 2 months!!!

I am currently waiting for my medical forms to be signed-off in Ottawa. They said that takes about 3-4weeks. Also, they are doing my reliability check (credit, references etc...) right now as well. Once my reliability check and final medical authorization has been received from Ottawa, my interview will be granted.

I hate waiting...but, hopefully my waiting will turn into an actual enrollment into the MARS program.

BMOQ Begins: Hopefully within 2 months!!!

  Nearest BMOQ will be in April,29,2013. But selection was already.
If you are DEO,do you know when next BMOQ for DEO ?

 

[reganm]

Sorry...said that wrong - I was referring to another selection date within the next couple of months. I was speaking to one of the recruiters at the recruiting center and she informed me this years DEO selections may have more selections? Also said, it is almost impossible to predict selection dates for DEO...just keep positive. Cheers

 

[secondchance]

Yes,sure there are more selections in 2013.
I think CFRC has already dates.

Just received a reply to an email inquiry I sent to Canadian Forces Virtual Recruiting Centre, and the Master Corporal informed me that checking the status online isn't going to be possible anymore. So if you submitted your documents/application online, and haven't heard anything back from them after 3 weeks, you should be calling or emailing them to get an update and make sure there is nothing you still need to do. Don't even bother checking the "status" through the recruiting site. If you do email them, they want "Full name; Date of birth; Full address; Postal code" to confirm your identity.

Hope this helps as I keep seeing guys saying they are waiting 2-3 months between contact without an update. Be proactive guys. Anyone who has worked in an office can tell you that even though we want to get everyone's files done in the order they came in, people who are checking up asking for updates always get done first. I have accidentally pushed client files to the back and forgot about them for months and the client never called to check. It happens in every office I have worked in, so I am sure it could happen in the Forces too. Good luck guys. Hope I get a good update soon from them.
