Hi all,
I know that I'm new to the boards, is there an introductory page that someone might be able to point me in the direction of?
Anyway, I'm a British citizen living in New Brunswick, Canada. I have been residing in this wonderful country of yours now for seven years. During those seven years, I've applied for Citizenship or at least a PR card (I don't really know, as my father handles the immigration side of things), and my current status is a 'Landed Immigrant'.
I've just graduated from high school, (June, Class of 2012 WOOT!) Anyway, after taking 6 months to think about what I want to do - the idea of the military, particularly ROTP appeals to me. I've always had an interest in the military, and have been 'on the fence' about joining up for the last year.
But, no time like the present, so, I've decided to make a start at the whole process in the New Year.
My worries, however, are firstly, as to whether the Forces might be able to help with my immigration process. Trouble is, we've moved a couple of times (just up the street), but we think that my papers may have got lost in the post.
Secondly, I have a heart condition - specifically, a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), I was born at 24 weeks and weighed 1 pound, 13 ounces, so that's how that all came about. Regardless, my BAV has never bothered me in my entire life and I have always maintained a good level of fitness. Competing in Track and Field, and completing various cardio workouts with no problems.
If anyone can provide answers to the above concerns, then that would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to meeting you all and enjoying the forums!
Cheers,
Hawky.
