I'm getting really excited and anxious to get rolling but one of my references is leaving the country for a while. Should I contact the recruiting center and update with another reference or just leave it?

It shouldn't really be a big deal they didn't call all five of mine. They called at least 3 of my main references and called my employers as well so they will mix it up

They only asked for four main references and then prior employers.

Not really much for introductions but I'm new and have been lurking for a little while and this is my first post on here.
I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this and haven't been able to find anything on it, so if someone could either please help answer it or send me a link I'd really appreciate it!

My question is about the application process obviously. 

Today I went in with the expectation of doing paper work and doing the trait self descriptive test.. but when I got there and finished the test a group of us waited, they then confirmed a few minor details, and reimbursed us for our travel time then sent us all off within minutes of the test.

I'm not sure what all was said to the other folks but what they told me was they didn't have any paper work on me and that they would email me some forms to fill out and send back and then I would be called for a medical and an interview.  I offered up my transcripts and ID to them, which they promptly photocopied, and then I was sent home.

Has anyone else be emailed copies of forms to fill out? Am I missing something here?

Please help me to understand  :-\

I remember when I first walked into my CFRC after they received my file from North Bay; I was handed a package (hard copies) of the whole application. Which I filled out again matching what I had put on my online application.

Odds are theyre odds and ends that they need to add to your file.

Just wait it out. Nothing more you can do.

If you dont get the email within 2 weeks call them and give them a friendly reminder.

Thanks for the reply.. that's definitely what I had been expecting too, because when I had spoken to the MWO over the phone the previous week, that's what he said he needed from me. Although I suppose with everything becoming more and more electronic, this should be expected.

I'm not that patient when it comes to getting something as simple as an application filled out when it really is only my responsibility and I think the forms I need to fill out are right on the website?

The RC here is right downtown close to where I live actually so I may just drop in and leave it with them and make sure I haven't left anything out.

thanks again!

I've been lurking these forums for a few weeks now and noticed that there are not many DEO examples so I've decided to post my experience (as seen in my signature) for others to see in the future. I don't think my application has been too much longer or shorter a wait than average so far.

Good luck to everyone, and remember to stay patient.
