As you can see, I applied last year. I applied for Sig Op, Combat Eng and Artillery, had to change those a number of times due to trade filling up, and ended up with Sig Op, Med Tech and Sonar Op. I was declined for medical reasons (food allergy and back problems) and my file was closed. I spent the last year rectifying those problems and submitted the required medical information again on March 14, 2011; the RMO sent me a letter clearing me on the 31st (never received it, change of address). I went in today and spoke with my recruiter, was told I am medically cleared and was provided with a list of trades I qualified for (Pure Math 30 really, really helped me there) that are currently hiring. As of right now I am being processed with Sonar Op, EO Tech and Veh Tech as my trade choices; the PO I spoke with told me that I would be very competitive with my math 30 and although he never said so, I am expecting a call or email of some sort in the next couple weeks. Waiting was a real pain in the ass, but finally stuff is coming together for me.

TL;DR, patience is a virtue; make yourself stand out, even a little and your chances improve. I'm not the type of person to get excited about anything, but I am truly excited now, I can not wait for a phone call.

Congratulations Duredain!

My first choice at the moment is also Sonar Op.  If you hear anything let me know!

And has anybody else noticed the lack of offers going out? I totally expected crazy forum spam with people getting offers.

I also thought there would be a boat load of offers going around by now.
I was told I'd  get a call in the middle of the month. Maybe well see alot by then.

Good day,

From what I have heard, offers should be rolling in mid- late April when courses open up and when BMQ dates are set and ready. All we can do now is be to be patient and wait for them to get things set.

I just hope that we can all be enlisted and join the BMQ that will be held during this summer XD

Thanks Stacked, it's quite exciting to finally have stuff moving forward. From what my recruiter told me, my chances of getting processed for Sonar Op are slim to none; they already have applications being processed for that trade (hopefully you are one of them) and they will likely offer me one of the trades that require Pure Math.

Sorry for the double post



I've been told now VERY few offers went out this week (which is obvious) and not to expect to hear anything until April 15th at least. Looks like we have another date to set on the calender. (This was from a Det Commander)

Good day,

Thank you for sharing what you were told, hopefully our patience pays off  . Ill be heading to my CFRC on April 18th to talk to my Military Career Counselor if I don't hear by next week.

I wonder who got those offers... I think it would be the officers that got their offers first.

Here's hoping!

We've both obtained approval to book the medical and interview, but apparently the girl who books the medicals at CFRC Toronto wasn't there today, and there was no schedule available.  We've been told to call back tomorrow to hopefully get those booked, as my application is especially time-sensitive.

Apparently I did "exceptionally well" on my aptitude test (read: qualified for everything) and the career councillor immediately tried to talk me into a different trade.  Told him "Thanks, but no thanks, I know what I came here for".

Again, here's hoping everything continues smoothly!
