Yes. Whenever there is deemed to be a significant connection between the applicant and a foreign country, Government rules say that the person has to undergo an enhanced reliability screening. My understanding is that that applies to all Federal employees/applicants, not just the Armed Forces...

Thank you :) And totally :) It a great feeling to finally be where I always wanted to be, after all these detours in life :)

Not really. Each individual application is different, of course, but my impression is that on average officer applications take longer to process across all groups of applications from all backgrounds. I think this is because fewer officers are needed in the system overall. As a result, less...

Congrats to all new Reg. Forces members who got their offers recently and will be attending the BMOQ starting Sept. 10th, especially those folks who waited for a long time! It definitely shows commitment and the seriousness of one's intentions to join the military. It will be my pleasure to meet...

Thank you, Buck. As always, much appreciate your time and information provided!

Hi Everyone, Just a quick update. I walked into my CFRC today and talked to a recruiter there. A few things I learned today that might be of benefit to other applicants: - A 1-year wait for DEO applicants is nothing unusual. It is not necessarily an indication of a weak application. It's just...

Thank you, guys. Nice selection of discussions. I will drop by my CfRc tomorrow to check in.

Hi Guys and Gals, Just wondering if switching my DEO application to an NCM would be a good idea in my situation. Here is a brief summary: - Trades of choice are Ms Eng (1st) and NWO(2nd) - Applied in the summer of 2015; - With delays and everything got my Security Clearance sorted out in around...

Hello Folks, I have a few questions that I hope someone could answer for me: 1. According to the CFLR website (http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/training-establishments/recruit-school.page), the last 12-week-long BMOQ, L-Series, is scheduled to start on September 10, 2018. Do I assume it correctly...

No, that should not be a problem at all. I’ve done that a couple times in the past and about to do it the third time in a few weeks. Putting your life on pause based on an uncertain possibility of getting a call someday is not a good way to win the waiting game 😊 You just keep living your normal...

Thank you, Buck. Great info. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the info. I am in the same boat, just a different DEO trade. I have been on the competition list since Aug-Sept 2017. From what I was told by my RC and a few folks here, it is the limited # of BMOQ spots that is causing the bottleneck for DEOs. Let's hope the system unclogs itself...

Hi Guys, Could anyone share some knowledge on the remaining # of spots for DEO NWO (17/18)? Or perhaps, if someone knows someone who may have received a recent offer for this occupation? I am just curious if any of the recent selections touched on DEO NWOs as it seems to be pretty quiet in this...

Hi GW, I can see the ethical dilemma here, and I'd, personally, hate to be in a situation where I am asked to sign an employment contract with someone who believes in me, and then, bam! I had to quit in a couple months to pursue a career with CAF. Initially, I'd thought it would be a very low...

Hello Folks, First of all, I would like to thank all contributors to this site who take time and patience to supply us, applicants, with useful information while explaining the process in detail. I have been paying attention to this forum for the past few months now, and it has been very...
