Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[DAA]

Does anyone know if MARS is closed for the current ongoing selection? The CF website lists it as "Now Hiring"

It's only open for ROTP Applicants at the moment, however, it should re-open for DEO very shortly.

Many thanks for the info.  I talked to my CFRC today and they said it's closed for FY 2013 so maybe I'll hear something in April or after.

Im still waiting for a call to just go in and do my Physical and my Interview.... Very stressing... Applied back in February..... Argh... lol. I call once a week for an update, and they keep saying it's currently being reviewed, although it may not be right now as of this minute, it will be shortly.... Darn... Was hoping to be in in the beginning of the new year haha.


FINGERS CROSSED that I get in to finish everything to get that call!

I got a call two weeks ago on December 4th. I unfoturnately wasn't home to get the inital call. I called back but no one answered. I figured they were busy. To make a long story short, I played phone tag with my local RC for about a week before I decided to just go in and talk to them in person. My plan worked well. I got my medical and interview scheduled right away. I'm all set to go on January 9th.

I think I still have a while to wait until the entire process is over but it'll be good time to get more healthy and workout a bit. I've been slacking for way to long  :'(

Good luck to everyone else on their apps.

April or after is "too late".  Last year for 2013, all DEO MARS positions were selected and handed out around 26 Feb, so the same may very well happen this year and not only for MARS.

Oh.  Well the "April of after" is from my understanding, not what the CFRC said to me. Fingers crossed for February then!

Interview went very well. I was told I have a competitive application and that the positions were filled for 2013 but that I could be getting a call in Feb/14 to start in April/14. I had some debts for a phone company that needs to be paid and proven paid. Going to squash that in January/14 and hope to get the call! Let the wait begin!

Best of luck to everyone else on the thread and hope to have another update in Feb/14!

I'm pleasantly surprised by how fast and efficient the recruiters at CFRC Edmonton have been in regards to my application. My interview had to be pushed back from it's initial appointment as I was informed they were trying to process non-combat trades before their selection dates coming up, but I don't mind as it has given me more time to do research for/prepare for my interview. Good luck to everyone!

I added Pilot as my second choice yesterday. Apparently I have to re-interview and then if all goes well there, head to Trenton for testing.

Still hoping for Inf. Off. but I'd be more than happy to accept an offer for Pilot.
