I hopped on the subway at Davisville Station yesterday heading north. Four stations later I was at Sheppard Station and a short block away from 4900 Yonge St, AKA, CFRC Toronto. I was expecting it to be a small unassuming little building but was now peering up at quite the structure with the standard Canada sign right up top.
As I entered through the doors I realized that this particular building was much more than just a monster recruitment centre, (big relief), as it most likely housed many different government offices and agencies. I quickly found the CFRC, which was conveniently located on the first floor, I walked in like the nervous little maggot I currently am and said " Hi, I have a completed application to hand in", at that point a couple recruiters looked up and one said " did you say completed?" I responded in the affirmative, and with a pleased look on his face, my recruiter sat me down and away we went.
I had all my necessary documents in order, and was very rigorous with checking and double checking everything. The first thing i showed him was an acceptance letter from Radio College of Canada or RCC. I told him I was interested in pursuing a career as a NET COMM in the Navy, and that the subsidized education plan was the right fit for me. He was impressed with my applications and mentioned that a lot of applicants had trouble finding references, so with all 5 of mine being at least 10 years he was impressed. We talked a little bit, while he got my file together, and I anxiously waited while he did that.
Once everything was completed and all the boxes were checked, my recruiter led me to a back office at which point he dropped me off to a CFAT scheduler. "Is Monday the 27th too soon?" he asked me. "Absolutely not, sir" he turned with a funny grin, and I walked out the door CFAT appt. in hand and headed back to the subway and back home. In four days I will write my CFAT.

I've got a 30 day wait for my CFAT/Interview (CFRC Barrie), and they said it could be a month after that before I get my medical
