A couple of us here know the feeling you are having right now and it is not fun. Keep pushing on, your efforts will not go unrewarded. I am sure that over the last two years you have come a long way regarding self development and improvement and that alone is a reward. I looked through the...

I have always been a very physically active/able person with a strong interest in technical and scientific subjects. The CF has always been something interesting to me but I did not actually consider it a career choice; not sure why. In early high school the technical side of me had thoughts of...

Well no matter which way you go Alex, congrats on the acceptances! What form of Engineering? I am currently doing Aerospace at Carleton in Ottawa.

Ahhh, I see. My apologies. I read the "god knows what" part as not getting accepted to RMC. I would still accept a civy u offer up to the point where my ROTP documents are signed; nothing is set in stone until signatures are on paper (sometime not even then). After signing, I wouldn't accept...

I think you may have misread the the post. The poster is asking if accepting an offer from a civy u before hearing from ROTP is a good idea or not; my personal answer is yes. You are putting 100% of yourself into ROTP (if you aren't then halt the process now) but sometimes that isn't enough...

I was advised by a career counselor (a captain) in the Winnipeg RC that the three main areas of assessment in order of importance are: CFAT Academic average Interview score Now as with most aspects of the application process it seems that there are many different stories depending who you...

Don't be discouraged by your cousins "quick and easy" acceptance to the program. I don't know all of your details but just the fact that you are a second round civy u applicant leads me to believe that you are a similar to me. The ideal candidate for ROTP is a straight out of high school sports...

Well guys and gals, I finally made it. After 2 years of work and perseverance I have been accepted! Received a call from the Ottawa RC at 5:30 with an offer for civy u as a CELE. Second choice, but still an occupation I will be excited to have.

Has anyone received an offer for civy u or had civy u as their first choice but received an offer for RMC? I was told by my interviewer that there was going to be more of a push for RMC this year and it seems to look that way so far.

In the above document it speaks of recruitment allowances. Under a few of the occupations it specifically mentions those who have been recruited through ROTP however there is no ROTP mentioned for Engineering Officers. Does that mean that all Eng officers, ROTP or not, get the allowance or that...

Income tax should be less than 30%. 30% is standard when above the poverty line of $20,000/year, which an ROTP Ocdt is not. Below 20k and the average income tax amount is closer to 10%. There of course will be other deductions but I would estimate a take home of about $1200-$1250 depending on...

I don't believe that the answer you received tells you anything. Being merit listed means that you qualify for the trades you picked. You are still in the waiting boat with the rest of us. Get comfy.

That is definitely the plan; to return to school for a Masters in Engineering. At the moment I would like aerospace/nautical, but by that time I may have found a different field. I am a bit older than your average bachelors degree student so RMC wasn't really an option for me this round, but I...

How about a subject change to get our minds off "the call". I was doing some day dreaming today and came to a question. Do graduate studies at RMC require a bachelors from RMC or can anyone with a prerequisite degrees apply? This is of course far in the future but nothing wrong with planning...

Wow, when it rains, it pours! Congrats everyone! So no one from Ottawa so far?

Thank you, I hope that my post is able to inspire/support others on the board. I have applied for: Aerospace Engineering Officer AERE Communications and Electronics Engineering officer CELE Construction Engineering Officer

Hello all, I posted a few times last year and a couple of times this year and figured I would add one to the list. You may guess by my first sentence, I was not accepted last year. My recruiter last year told me I was a sure thing and that I had nothing to worry about; turned out he was...

Congrats ERTW! Was the offer technically from last year's round, just a little delayed? Either way I am quite happy to hear this happened, as some info I received yesterday was a little discouraging. After my interview I was told that my file is excellent and definitely at the level it needs...

I received an email this past Wednesday advising me that I have qualified for all of my occupation choices and to call in to book my medical/interview, which was booked in for Dec 19th. I had my fingers crossed for completing the interview before Christmas and it looks like it worked.
