In October I posted that i had received a letter stating that I had been assigned medical limitations for left shoulder and ankle injuries. I was able to appeal the limitations by providing a declaration of fitness from my family doctor. I would like to say that this was enough to successfully win the appeal however that is not the case.
This week I received notice from Ottawa requiring a detailed assessment from my orthopaedic surgeon. I am writing because currently I am in Petawawa and my application to the CF is through Edmonton, and am wondering if I must return to the same surgeon and physiotherapist who addressed these injuries nearly ten years ago. I have sent email to my recruiting med tech in Edmonton but perhaps someone can direct comment to my situation quicker through the forum, i expect it will take some time before i will get ahold of my medtech.
further, I undertsand the need for the CF to ensure their applicants meet common enrollment standards, but this is becoming increasingly frustrating,I am fit and have passed the enrollment fitness test. Had i known i needed more than just a family doctors clearance i would have done so in Edmonton in October. Now I'm worried the fiscal year will begin again and my chosen trades will fill and be closed again, leaving me waiting for another year.
