Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[CharaOnSkates]

Hello Everyone;

I've been lurking these threads for months, and have been watching peoples progress with great interest. I thought I would start posting my own progress as well. So far things have been moving smoothly, but I am a bit anxious about getting the final stamp of approval on my medical files from Ottawa; I get periodic migraines with Auras, but they are not debilitating and pass quickly with Advil (auras gone in 20 min).

Anyway, if all goes well I am hoping to start BMOQ this fall.

MPAC: completed
Position offered: NA
Swearing in: NA
BMOQ: NA

My MPAC was finished up mid March, and I recently found out my file is back in Borden and they're just finalizing my background check.

Anyone have any sort of idea as to if this is good news, neutral and possibly how long the average wait time for news Post MPAC is?? I've heard from some that it could be a couple days (as it hasn't been on my behalf) versus 2-4 months.

Got in touch with the recruiter in charge of my file today, initially it looked like I would be waiting another couple months for my interview and medical due to a backlog in the system, but since he's such a solid guy, he kicked out a guy on the schedule that he wasn't able to contact and let me take his place. Now scheduled for the 30th of July, can't wait to finish this next step.

 

[MJLANT]

Hahaha!!!  This is awesome.  I'm waiting for my date as well and I can't wait.

Best of luck for everything.

Have a great day!!

Thanks, I appreciate that! I wish you all the best as well, what are you applying for if you don't mind me asking?

Aha probably, either way good on him for getting me in, I definitely appreciated the effort even if he feigned it.

Thanks the process has been long but worth it if not for me quitting smoking and getting into shape; I've never been this fast or strong and I'll keep at it no matter what. Hope all of us make it

 

[MJLANT]

I had applied for MARS and Signals Officer.  I was accepted for further processing but yesterday my recruiter called me to tell me that I wasn't accepted finally because they consider my degree a degree in art...  I was pissed!!

I am changing to a NCM trade so back to square one...

Thanks, I appreciate that! I wish you all the best as well, what are you applying for if you don't mind me asking?
