Likelihood of Armoured Crewman getting their Para wings?

There is NO cadet course. There were 2/3 cadets on the basic para course, when I was out on my JM course.

About 1995 in the summer they ran a Cadet Jump Course in Petawawa. I fully believe they ran it to the same standards as the regular jump course but   ALL the candidates were Cadets. This was at the time that most if not all jump courses were ran in Edmonton. Although it was not a different course it was ran strictly for Cadets. I believe this type of course is what was referred to earlier in this thread as a Cadet Jump Course.

It's actually possible for Reservists who are armoured to get there jump course, don't know about about being fully airborne qualified, but i know a couple guys in the Sask D's who got there jump course.
