*** update ***

They checked my entire file , currently on hold since I am missing 2 High School Mats exams ( that I am currently doing part time by nigths and weekends ).

*** update ***

We added ACS Tech as my 3rd trade so my file would be processed faster ( because this one didn't require the any mathematics. )  But I am still on the process of getting them for AVN and ATIS Tech but at least I can do my interview and medical faster !

Looking forward to completing these!

Updated....

Had my reliability interview last April 28 2016 and was granted reliable. Now they said they are going to do the full security clearance assessment then PLAR after. The file manager said clearance will be up to Top Secret because one of my chosen trade is ATIS. So I am expecting at least a year more just for this stage. I would be lucky enough if it will take them three to six months to process it.

My husband is applying to the reserve units in Ottawa and when we went in to the recruiting center they had both of our files moved since we are moving in June.  Crossing my fingers that this won't set back my application.

Recruiting Center: Hamilton
Regular/Reserve: Regular
Officer/NCM: Officer
Trade Choice 1: Construction Engineering Officer
Trade Choice 2:
Trade Choice 3:
Application Date: November 27th, 2015
First Contact: November 30th, 2015
Aptitude Test: January 19th, 2016
I attended university in the USA so I have been waiting for an approval from the chain of command stating whether or not I will need additional screening due to living there while attending school.
I also had to obtain my Educational Assessment that proves my Masters and Bachelor degree from the USA is equivalent to the Canadian degrees.  I first paid and applied for a comprehensive report fro ICAS but that was taking forever (22 weeks from February 11th) . I had to ensure I got a full report as I was trying to get an Educational Waiver so I could apply to be a Construction Engineer with an Architecture background.
I decided to go a different route and switched my Trade Choices in late March
Trade Choice 1: Aerospace Control Operator
Trade Choice 2: Aerospace Control Officer
I figured I could try out the 3-year Non-Commissioned career first before becoming an Officer especially if my education would take a while to verify.  Then I decided to try my luck again and sent my education to be assessed by a different company that promised only 4 weeks processing (WES).  I am hoping to have that completed by the 6th of May.
