Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[srvn2sv]

My RC decided to reschedule my medical until records from 1989 (previous service) can be obtained from DND.  I was excited as the medical was to be next week, but now face a delay.  Has anyone run into this and how long does this normally take?

Thank you.

I was surprised to see how quickly things moved along for me considering the timeline that others have reported. I sent my paperwork in to the RC, as well as to RMC since I am applying as a student. I called this week to check if my medical had been cleared in Ottawa and was told it had been and that I had been merit listed. They were surprised that I hadn't been contacted, but I'm guessing they've been pretty busy with everything moving from Saskatoon to Regina. Also glad I completed my application before the move, so I didn't have to travel to do the medical, interview, etc. I was told by someone in Ottawa that selection for PTO is likely to happen in June or July, so I will update at that point!

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting to hear!

Cheers.

Sorry to hear that.  So, are you considering getting your PPL and attempting ASC again in a year?

Sorry to hear that.  So, are you considering getting your PPL and attempting ASC again in a year?

I don't think so, that's a steep cost for just a second try.  Hoping now to get an offer for ACSO or AEC.

 

[26point2]

Ah, I'm still waiting for an interview and be successful with that before going to Trenton.  I'm a little intimidated by the low pass rate, so I'm looking at ACSO and AEC as well.  I agree, getting PPL is a steep cost for a second try.

Good luck!

I know someone who passed ASC, went to Toronto for the medical got his Air Factor but is 13mm too tall for the Grob. He needs to get his CPL and re-apply, which he is doing. Don't let costs keep you from your dream!

That's awesome falician, I also applied for Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator and applied the day after you, so I should be waking up to a response soon too. Unfortunately, I think the other trades I applied for are not hiring/too competitive, so I might not get the response I want. But fingers crossed!

After a month long wait my old file has arrived from archives and I will be completing my medical first thing tomorrow morning. Bringing a note from my doctor saying I am fit to join the CF since I left in 2008 with a stress injury in my knee from not being physically prepared. Hopefully that is enough and there are no more delays. Can't wait to go back to BMQ and get my career started  ;D

Hey everyone, just a small update. Someone from the CFVRC emailed me today, it wasn't great news but not terrible. They were letting me know that from the information they have, it doesn't appear I meet the education requirements for my trade selections. I do meet them, but unfortunately when I graduated 10 years ago, they didn't include Grade 10 as part of the transcripts so I need to jump through some hoops and do more waiting to get those records from the local school board office. They also informed me Intelligence Operator is currently not open to direct entry, so my application couldn't be processed for that either. They did invite me to change my trade choices by contact them to see what my education requirements currently meet, but I will just try to get my Grade 10 grades to fax them first.

So I won't be moving forward yet. Tried to call CFVRC to straighten it out, but as normal, couldn't get through. I will wait to hear back from the school board office, then send them an email. When I have more info, I will post it here.

So, updated:

Hurray! I think this week is when I officially gave up on thinking I would be hearing from them before fall... funny, a lot of you said that's how it would happen. Hehe.
Such a long, confusing process.
