It's a reserve BMOQ, which will be done on weekends part time, so the exact date won't match with yours.

It is really amazing that it takes almost a year to just get in. Which recruiting centre did you apply from and how did your CFAt Go?

My application process is still on-going so it might take over a year depending on if I'm able to get a spot this September or the next month ahaha. I've applied at the Mewata Armoury in Calgary, and my CFAT went fairly well I guess. I didn't get my percentile score since they didn't say anything about it, only that me and the other applicants that were taking the CFAT & FORCE test with me are qualified for all the designated trades we've picked from the beginning of our application.

Hey, That's good to know, I'm based out of Edmonton and I have a Test Scheduled next month in the Edmonton detachment. Did you practice before your CFAT, any tips That you would recommend before going in?
Also, Did you complete Your Formal Interview, if yes how was your experience?
Thanks for sharing your Thoughts on the Topic!
