Question....

[jordandixon3]

I am just wondering when trades start opening up again? Is it April?
I put in an application about a month ago for a trade that they said they
We're targeting and I got a call a couple days ago saying that I didn't meet
The min requirements. I asked what I was missing and the recruiter said
I don't have physics. But the job that I applied to ( refrigeration and mechanical
Systems tech) it says on forces.ca that the min requirement is just grade 10 and says nothing
About needing physics. I have my diploma so I am confused as to why
I don't meet the requirements. They said that my file would be closed.

So I am wondering when jobs start opening up again?
Thanks

Go back to a recruiter...

The forces.ca website is not up to date on proper info.  Presently the education requirement for Med Tech says only Grade 10 which is not correct.  Chances are it is the same for the trade you are applying for.

Guess you'll need to get Physics to qualify.  I'd call back and ask what grade they require and then look into high school programs in your area (night school, online, adult education classes, etc).

When the trade is open doesn't seem to apply in this case.

Or, if you think you're qualified, you can reapply, only to be possibly told the same thing, namely that you don't qualify for the trade.  :dunno:

RM Tech (Acceptable Academic Requirements) - Ont Gr 10 or Quebec Sec IV with "grade 10/sec IV" level Math (Algebra and Geometry) and one science (Chemistry or Physics).  So courses must be at the Gr 10 Level!

Also, they shouldn't close your file, unless there are NO other occupations that you are interested in!

They said it would be closed because my first
2 choices require physics and the third choice was not open.
So I guess I am either getting physics or looking into
Something else and reapply

If you were qualified to apply for your "third choice", then your file should not have been closed.  It should be held open for one year.  I would call back to clarify that!!
