Out of curiosity, what is the true mandate of the Canadian Government?  We've been sending athletes to the Olympics for years, and, comparatively speaking, our winning streak is pretty low.  Should we instead pass the torch off to Private Industry, or personal financing for those athletes that...

128 more to go for a winning record! :)

Just to clarify, your question implies that no CEOTP spots remain...  Or am I reading into "went very fast" too much? The CFRC just confirmed some do still remain in the Combat Arms (and that of course  it would all refresh in April).  Thanks!

Obviously every situation is different, and so various scholarships may apply differently. I think what Piper is getting at is actually TAX LAW and not necessarily CF rules/regs.  To be considered eligible in Ontario for the grant, you have to be considered as a student by Ontario from a...

Coming from the Enterprise Software Industry, I can tell you this is generally the business model the major players operate under.  Most large enterprises (public AND private) are loathe to approve large credit facilities upfront these days, and on the private sector side, this is made even...

korabian - thanks for the suggestion. I've been in Quebec for quite some time - just no family doctor (finding one is useless).  I tried the one at Guy_Concordia, but they are basically in it for the cash - as an example, they charge 100$ (minimum) to complete the CF forms...

geo - unfortunately, I can't;  my family doctor practices in Ontario (Ottawa),  and I am a Quebec resident in Montreal.  The only way I can visit him is when I am "vacationing" out of province.  Ontario Specialists are not acceptable under RAMQ terms unless under acute/emergent care.  He...

Sadly it would appear a referral from a local doc is absolutely required.  So now I need to find a walk-in clinic not staffed by useless, rude folks.

Call the CFRC and ask would be my first suggestion. My *guess* would be that the form needs to be filled out to request your old med documentation from Ottawa/wherever it is located since you were a prior member,  but this is just a guess (I don't recall filling one out myself).

Hmm.. I suppose it could just be as simple as calling a few offices, but I was led to believe a referral of some sort would be necessary too. I'll try that number out tomorrow and see what happens, thnx.

This is probably a long-shot, but how, if you did not have a family doctor in your province, (mine is Quebec), would you go about getting a referral (or really, an appointment) to see a specialist (in my case, a gastroenterologist)? I have a family doc in Ottawa, and he gave be a prognosis, but...
