Hey.... BMOQ, August 20th, from Toronto. Nice to get to know people before the course :) I'll try to join the group ASAP.

Hi Micheal, just hang in there! Some do get in early and some do get to wait years. I waited for more than 3 years before my call came in this month. Let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. In the meantime, make sure that you volunteer, participate in group activities or even take up...

Isn't that what the clerics would want? More disenfranchised and unemployed youth coming under their influence. On the other hand, unemployment and destruction of the tourist industry might help overthrow the Muslim Brotherhood government. Very interesting situation.

Hey, yeah :nod: You're a bearer of good news Ken. Thanks again for helping me not lose hope... Hopefully I'll see you sometime when both our training times collide. Thanks PrettyMaggie63 ! It has been a long road and the prize is now sweeter for it.

Congrats Mate! That's my first choice too... time to hit the gym hard, eh.. 

Yes, may the best candidate win. Best of luck to all of you.

Yeah, I your are right, there is still hope. And the summer will make getting into even better shape lot easier and fun. I guess I've waited for 3 years, a few months more shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the pep talk Ken :)

Yeah, the numbers are confirmed 12 for Armour Officer [DEO] and 3 for Infantry Officer [DEO]. These are also the national selection numbers. Sighhh... I've been waiting for 3 years already... It's more of a Lottery now. Best of luck to everyone. :salute:

I went through the process and as they say, it takes between 6 to 18 months. Mine took 16 months. Make sure that you keep checking in for your file status. I was born in India and at the time of my application, I had been in Canada for 6-7 years. My application for DEO Armored officer and...

Try calling them early in the morning. I had the same issue and it is because its April and thus, very very busy. Thousands of people are probably calling them repeatedly right now. I called them early morning today [around 9 am, they open here at 8:30 am] and got connected. Hope this helps.

I think the Quebecois......... have hit a road bloc... *Sunglasses... exit left...

That -is- bad luck. I too have been waiting for more than 2 years to get into the Infantry/Armoured officer position. In fact, I too had to go through the whole prove-that-the-allergy-isn't-serious process this year and it took around 2-3 months to clear it all up. By the time I was merit listed...

This phenomenon isn't limited to the Chinese-Canadian community. I am of Indian descent and the same implies to us. While my mother is quite okay with my application to the CF, my father is vehemently opposed to it. Most people so not see the CF as a viable career, with the  focus mainly on...

I applied in March 2009 from CFRC Toronto. The security clearance procedure took a year and now I am waiting for the April intake. I have applied for DEO, Armour.
