I got my job offer around mid-November, and I haven't received a single piece of paper regarding it. Except for hand copied notes that I took from the phone call, I have nothing. Now, I am grateful for all the help and information available at army.ca, but shouldn't I be receiving something official? I mean, outside of this place, I'd have no idea about the joining instructions...
Other candidates are telling me about how they have this or that to do in order to prepare, and I'm sitting there going "I didn't read anything about that... What's going on?" They are looking at their offers and finding out specific dates, and I'm going "Well, I know when IAP ends at least..."
I was told by the recruiter that I would not receive anything until I was heading out to St Jean, but then I am reading things in the Joining Instructions (which, according to some, doesn't give all the information that you need to know for the Security Clearance) and seeing a whole huge list of things that I need to know to bring beforehand.
If not for Army.ca, I'd be dead in the water. Completely unprepared and totally oblivious. Is this the way that it is in general these days? Is it just CFRC Toronto, that maybe has to process too many applications so that they cannot provide the paperwork or the information? Or is it just specific to me?
