Trades closed

[Inuym]

I called in today to book the cfat after receiving the email to do so however the recruiter told me my trades were closed and wont open again until April so as far as I can tell combat engineer infantry and plumbing is closed and the forces.ca is wrong he said they have no way to filter it. Also guys the recruiter sounded Like he expected me to get mad at him obviously I didn't but it tells me people aren't giving these guys the respect they deserve so be nice and courteous

So in the end are you still continuing with your application?

That could quite possibly be the reason. Could also be that he understood you would be disappointed. Some recruiters really care a lot about their applicants (not to say some don't care at all) and are truly disappointed when they have to give bad news.

Have you considere booking the CFAT and starting the process? It can take several months, so who knows it may be the 27th before you are merit listed then you are ahead of the game ...I booked my CFAT a week after applying...

It means you are very lucky and had no bumps in the road. It does not necessarily mean good or bad for you as an applicant.

 

[seguin]

Thank you for the quick reply

 

[Goose15]

You're welcome, good luck!

 

[seguin]

Good luck to you aswell, what province did u apply from, my recruiter told me infantry soldier, armoured soldier, and vehicle tech. Are hiring, I'm in ontario.

 

[Goose15]

Thanks! I'm in Ontario like yourself. I'm in the process (waiting to do my medical/interview) for Comms Research, which is thankfully hiring as well.

thats a good idea he made it sound like they wouldn't do it until April but no harm in asking I am in Edmonton

are you being pushy or what lol

 

[seguin]

Lol I hope not, just curious I've read a lot of forums saying the wait time was a while just curious if anyone also had bookings this fast

Never any harm in asking. It may be slower overall than others if the occupation is not hiring right now. Even if that is the case though you would still be ahead of the game if you started now.

Nah, the application process is just quicker for some than others based on what your particular CFRC is doing at the time of your application.

Do u think age would  play a factor? Younger recruit given more time to think n really decide...?

No, your age would not be a factor in the speed of your application.
