I was extremely lucky in this process especially because after my CFAT, I was only in my third year of my bachelor's and we decided to revisit my application in 2020. For some reason though, I got selected for further processing for my interview and medical in May. It was then that I decided to graduate with a 3 year bachelor's instead of the 4 year honours degree and now I'm going off to BMOQ in a month!

I was surprised with how quick this application process was for me. Usually it takes more than 4 months from application to offer. But i am extremely excited and nervous to see what BMQ is like.

I finally got the offer for DEO nursing officer, but have decided to decline. I've done some significant self-reflection over the years, and quite frankly I'm just too old now haha. I first applied for DEO pilot in 2013, and again for ROTP nursing officer in 2015 but didn't get either of them. At this point in my life, I would be sacrificing far too much including a higher salary, the convenience of living very close to home, and family. Good luck to everyone still waiting for an offer, it seems like they've really improved processing times over the years.

I declined my offer, and have since reopened my file in the past few weeks to apply for AVN TECH and AVS TECH. I have been an administrator for a few years and I felt that I wouldn’t be using  my full potential continuing down that career path. I had to go into the RC to reopen my file and talk with a recruiter to change my career choices. It was pretty informal and super straight forward. Since my security clearance and medical have already been approved, I was advised by the recruiter I would get called in for another interview, as I didn’t complete one for my new chosen trades. I was contacted within the same week and scheduled my second interview for November 7th, 2019.
I’m really hoping the rest of the process will go smoothly and I’ll eventually get an offer, wish me luck guys!
And to all of those who are still waiting in the process... good luck and all the best!!!
