Transferring to INT

[LeonTheNeon]

Read the recruiting site more closely.

Scrolling to Direct Entry Officer, you could see it says...

Direct Entry Officer – DEO applicants must hold a Master degree from an accredited Canadian university, preferably in one of the areas of study listed under “Qualification Requirements”. Proficiency in some foreign languages may be an asset.

Scrolling up to higher in Qualification Requirements you would have seen...

INT Officers are normally required to have a university degree preferably in Economics, Geography, History, Imagery Science, Information Technology, International Studies, Journalism, Military and Strategic Studies, or Political Science.

The forces recruiting website says that you can do direct entry into intelligence (officer) if you have a university degree in a related field.  I am interested in this and have a degree in Political Science from UBC.  Will I be able to get in DE or will I have to do service in another trade for a few years?

Read closely.  You need a graduate degree in one of the enumerated fields.

Damn, I am slow on the uptake these days. 

Thanks George!

Just to add a bit more info to the thread.  I can comment only on Int Ops, not IntO. It is possible to component transfer from Res to Reg after QL5 and 4 years Res experience.  The trade qualifications have change over the past year +, so that reserve IntOps initial training is now QL5 (instead of QL3 and QL4 previously) - supposedly now Reg force equivalent.

Got this info straight from an INT WO who works in recruiting.
