POET is 132 or so training days, about 8 months~ But yeah, there's a highly tentative date for June 2014 for the start of the next franco QL3. Thanks all the same!

Anyone knows what's up with the new QL3? Last I hear every courses up to January have been canceled until the new course is ready, and then they won't start translating it in French until the pilot group is a success. Am I looking at more than 2 years of PAT?

Anyone knows when is the block leave for the summer of 2013 at CFSCE? I've heard last of July&first of August but I've also heard the first 2 weeks of August.

Nah, on the next fiscal year all the courses are 132 training days, so it's really that POET was lengthened. For posterity for any curious person scouring the forums about POET in the near future, here are the FY 2013/14 (non-finalized) dates as of 23 Jan 13: 17-Apr-13 6-Jun-13 3-Jul-13 ...

I am reticent about creating new threads, and here goes. I am heading to Borden on 25 Feb 2013 as a new AVS Tech. I will be waiting there until I can go to POET in Kingston. My recruiting process was done with CFRC Montreal, with a French profile. I can see on the <a...

Ho Hey is for me one of the best songs of 2012 along with Beach House's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuvWc3ToDHg&feature=share&list=PLwkpk_HRkMymJSx2v5jTkq9h3s0k7E4un">Myth</a> and alt-J (∆)'s <a...

DAA, I wish you could've been in charge of my file from the beginning, even if you are probably overqualified and outranking that kind of position. I cannot overstate how much of a great wealth of information you are.

I see where there could be a confusion... I've been communicating with my file manager and recruiter in French and every time, the term used by all parties has been "PLAR" instead of "ERA" or "VSA".

Well well well. I served 9 months before getting my 4C in march 2010. Graduated from BMQ in october 2009. I did not reach my OFP. Now, according to this I am well out of the validation period for my BMQ. Which I don't mind so much. However, CFRC Montreal requested a PLAR on my file a few months...

Yup, looks like there might be an even longer delay since I didn't do any other training, I just did lots of tasking on the PAT waiting half a year for the VR to go through. Good old waiting game. Thanks for the clarifications Hatchet Man. Looks like I should set my sights on the other two...

In regards to the PLAR (I am applying after having served in 2009/2010 with BMQ completed), mine went was requested in late October and I was told it would take maximum 2 months... in the meantime I added my third choice (AVS Tech), updated my interview in early December, was told I am...

Congrats! -Y

Market trading was positive until around 7 a.m. EDT. Then Mario Draghi announced that the economy is stagnating in Germany, where the data is worse than predicted. That's when FTSE and STX 50 crashed. Hell, intrade.com had Obama winning at 80%, his win isn't a surprise to investors. While a dip...

Merci! Mais l'espace de rangement, c'est grand comment?
