I have a degree of bias - Engineering officer is fantastic (and I am not just saying that because the CDS is an Engineer). Getting paid to blow things up is fantastic. Construction Engineering is also a good go; regardless, congratulations and CHIMO!

It's like in person interview.

For me I change my trade that's why attend another interview.

So they told me that Log O is closed temporarily, that apparently they picked too many people and not even in April/25 (does anyone know anything about these dates when they open for new recruits?) there will be openings. So they offered me a list from which I switched to
1 Aerospace Control, 2 Air Combat Systems Officer and 3 Logistic
Today instead of the interview as scheduled I was emailed a SEAF test and a captain called me, saying we would have interview after the test.
He just called me saying he went through my file and due to medical I am not eligible for either of those 1 & 2 (I had Lasik surgery 12 years ago maybe thats why?).
Now I feel like he is trying to push Infantry instead of Air Force on me. Unless I downgrade to NCM which I won't since I have two degrees obtained outside of Canada.

Long story short, no interview yet...

Aerospace Control Officer is a good pick I think. Their certificate is, as I heard, transferable to Nav Canada.
 
Im wondering the exact same thing, first they offer it telling you to change your occupation then they tell you you're not eligible, didnt make any sense to me. It honestly seems like they are pushing Infantry on people. Does anyone have anything to say about this?

I had my interview from 9pm to 9:45pm. Dont feel shy to schedule it late in the day as they do process interviews on later times.
Instead of Logistics (Closed) they are moving me to the competition list under HSM
