I am in the same boat. However I have not left the country in the last 10 years. I was born in Canada. Not sure what the hold up is and I too have noticed fabvious and other get a medical/interview. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, it could also depend on the scores you achieved from the CFAT. That gets pretty competitive too on who gets dibs for the interviews and medicals.

So hypothetically (because they do not reveal how you did/scored on the CFAT), lets say I got the bare minimum to pass, would this mean I would not be given an opportunity to do the medical/interview? As a group we were told we would not be given interviews/medical because primary force gets priority, however others have gone ahead and scheduled there interviews.

From my personal experience having a low CFAT score can mean you will either wait a long time for med/interview or they shut your file completely. My recruiter told me they will send your scores off to recruited HQ to determine if your scores are competitive enough to make it worth continuing processing you then they go from there. I had one friend who did his CFAT, they told him he passed it for his selected trades then got an email a while later saying his file was closed due to his score being too low.

There are three bars of competitiveness with regards to the CFAT. I will use RegF Combat Engineer scores to illustrate. The CFAT is scored out of 60. Not that there are 60 questions and you need to get 60/60 right to get a hundred but you need for certain jobs certain points in certain areas. For combat engineer to be considered competitive and be proceed quickly you need a score of 40/60 and over. If you score over 40 you will be processed without having to worry. Scoring this basically grantee's you a medical/interview. If you score in between I believe 30-40/60 there is a chance that if they need applicants because they are short or what have you, you maybe processed but you maybe waiting years for your score to be more competitive then others. If you score below 30 then basically you are SOL, most likely you will never be processed and if you score is low enough they flat out tell you you do not qualify unless you re-write the test. You have 2 chances to re-write, the first is 3 months after the initial. The second I'm not sure how much later but you need to also prove to them you are in school bettering your education(night classes, uni/college courses etc.) So if you get the bare minimum you may never ever get a medical or interview.

So freaking pumped. Got the email saying I've been picked up for the medical and interview today! Was not expecting it and it really made an otherwise crappy day awesome!

 

[messupdude]

If I received my acceptance email the day after my testing does it mean I scored pretty high? I thought the verbal portion of the test was pretty hard. I could not understand over 70% of the words they gave me.

Currently waiting on my references to be checked off, because I had to update a few references.

 

[JSoff]

So I failed the first fitness test (Barely by 5 seconds) the tester was calling faults on the 20 rushes, things he SHOULD NOT have been calling faults for (Like head being past the line, where it is clearly stated hands and shoulders can be on or behind the line), and was making us run past the 20m line, turn around, then touch the line and drop.

But enough of that.

I was made aware that my application has been put in for my Background check, so I am just waiting for that to clear, and once it does I will have my medical and interview. (Going to attempt to bypass them due too the fact I did them, 9 months ago).

So, got the dates for my interview and medical... they're 3 weeks away which was a bit of a surprise, but I guess it is when things slow down and they've got another BMQ course getting sworn in and leaving in the next few weeks.
I'm super excited though, can't wait to go... still hoping I'll manage to make it in for the July 27/Aug 3 BMQ start dates.

Hi, I just have been scheduled for medical/interview. 
I graduated from high school, and I am really passionate about serving in the medical field (if possible) because I really like to serve and help people (I think it's in my genes  ). And I think I am also really interested in Science and Technology, so I applied for ATIS and AVS tech. Thankfully, I am qualified for all trades and booked for interview. I hope everything goes well with everyone!

Also in the middle of my paramedic practicum (and will need to take the licensing test before employment), so we'll see how that comes into play.
