How do these compare to already-enrolled members CTing? Any guidelines on those wait times? We should get a similar thread going for that. I've heard of some CT's being accepted within a month and others waiting 5 years.

I'd love to know what makes you think you'll get a call for Air Arty? Having not even completed your interview. Just curious..

Welcome to not taking ANYTHING for granted until you actually get an offer. By the way, who told you that? I dealt with CFRC Quebec City, too.

 

[Nic22Bast]

My recruiter said to me to really think before decline an offer in arty air defense! Because its not sure that infantry will open in february My interview will be this week. I take nothing for cash but... its positive! My recruiter say to me the process will go quickly now... cause in my 3 choices i put artillery in second choice (but on the sheet i dont write air defense) so he said air defense are in first priority. So i said thats really interest me. And he said things will go quickly now for your process.

I recently applied for the reserves here in Hamilton. After speaking to the unit recruiter she informed that getting on the January BMQ is possible, so I'm really hoping for that. If I miss it, here's to September 2013.

How long d'you guys think I should wait to phone the CFRC for a follow up?

I was not expecting this at all. I was told Combat Engineer was closed before I was merit listed and that my only chance was an infantry selection held last week. Took me a year and six months to get a call but during the time I was only merit listed for 12 days. I'm really excited to head out to St Jean!
