Since the last time I posted, I've done my medical and my interview. For the medical, I had to take a form to my optician and get him to fill it out with the results of my last eye exam. Anyone else ever have to do that? Anyways, I think I passed since they rang me this morning and booked my PT test! Last thing to do and then I'll be on my way to starting.  Good luck to everyone else waiting for a call!

Yes getting a medical letter is normal, I had to get one filled out by LASIK stating what my prescription was before getting treated and all that jazz.  It's all C.Y.A. for the military.  Good luck!  Infantry seems to be a pretty tough profession to get into especially for reserves.

I'm very glad I found this forum as it has answered many questions and given me insight on how long this process may take.

One thing I do not understand which I have seen posted was that it seems some people are under the impression that the CF has gone on some kind of hiring freeze.
I don't know where anyone has gotten this kind of information that they are just not hiring certain trades at this time but if it could be shared that would be very appreciated.
I have no idea how long this may take but I am just going to cross my fingers and hope that I can be in BMQ by spring.

Just had the PT test this morning. It was really simple and I passed. I guess now my file is being sent to my unit and I should hear back soon. Do you guys think I should call the RC or the regiment themselves if I don't hear in a few weeks?

Just got word back on my application.

Holding until the occupations I applied for open up and I have been told that their new fiscal year begins April 1st, good birthday present, so things open up again at that time.

I have asked that my file be sent to Toronto RC so that I may submit the rest of my completed documents so they have a complete application once things open up again.

Has anyone tried this tactic and has it worked?

 

[Ducam]

Disregard the above post.

All jobs closed, good ones anyways, until the new fiscal year.

Better luck in the spring

I applied for Air Defence Art, but it is now just one Trade.. I was in the Military Before so I did not have to do some of the testing. This may have helped in the speed of my application..
