Hello
I am currently unemployed and looking for a job in civil supply chain management around Montreal. I speak French as well. I was going to apply to the Regular Force as a logistics officer, but the recruiting center told me it is already full and I have to wait until March 2027. Finding a job is very hard, especially since I am a visible minority and don't have a lot of experience.
On the other side, I have the option to go to the reserve since the job is available, but I need to drive 1h to go to the closest base. I plan to stay until I finish the BMOQ and the occupational training at least.
Also, I can choose another base in 45 min by subway and bus since it is very hard to find a parking spot. This base can only offer an infantry officer position. Should I wait and apply to the regular force, or should I apply in the reserve as a logistics officer or infantry officer? At the reserve, the training is on Tuesday from 7 pm and one weekend from Friday 7 pm to Sunday afternoon. I read that some people take one year to transfer to the regular force.
