Hi, Currently I'm a reservists with the 34th Signals Reg based in Montreal. I want to join the Military Police after I finish Police Technology at John Abbott College. Does anyone know the general length of a contract? If it changes anything, upon graduation I will have 5 years in the forces and according to most Master Corporal in my reg, they got their ranks in 4 years.
 
Your first contract (Terms of Service) would likely be a Variable Initial Engagement (VIE) of 4 or 5 years.
 
Are you planning on enrolling through ROTP(seeing as you posted in the RMC, CMR, ROTP forum)

If you become a MCpl in 4-5 years(you may only be a Cpl in that time), and if you do OT/CT to Reg Force MP(NCM) you will become a Cpl. If you completed PLQ in the Reserves it will be one less course to take in the Reg Force.  Also, being a Reservist with X amount of years does not change the VIE length.

Also, as you are a Private(Recruit)/Pte(R) you have not received your first hook - ref your avatar.
 
Here is a link showing the VIE for each trade : http://army.ca/wiki/index.php/MOSID_and_MOC
 
That page hasn't been updated in a while.  The TOS Sequence has been updated in Nov 2012 and in Feb 2013, so...
