Re-opening file.

I applied around the end of 2005. Would there still be an electronic file?

Yes

Do they keep everything from the application process in this electronic file, or just the initial application? What if I tell them I decide against getting back in?

When I was in recruiting the only time all of your documents were scanned in to electronic format was when an applicant was enrolled.  So if you weren't enrolled than there is only an electronic record of what processing was done and when it was done and any comments about your application.

What if I tell them I decide against getting back in? What?

yes I was enrolled.

and I thought about getting back in, but was worried about having to do everything over again. do they keep your electronic file forever? what if I tell them I decided not to enroll back in?

Yes the electronic file is kept forever.  However, as I have previously mentioned this does not mean that you don't have to update your file,from completing another application to providing new references.  Believe it or not things do change from year to year, such as new employment, new addresses, etc.  If you decide that after reapplying that you don't want to join again then they just close your file and keep everything.  Check with your CFRC for more information about reapplying.
