Hoping things stay on a steady track!!!!!

At my interview, I was asked about my debts.  When I informed the Career Counsellor that I had approximately $4000 (because I was stupid when I was in college), he told me that this would slow things down....eventhough I had a payment plan. I ended up borrowing the money from my family on a low interest line of credit (way better option) and paying off my debt, thus leaving me free and clear for the army. They called me last week to make sure that it was legit and they were pleasantly suprised that I made very "mature arrangements" as they put it.  They said that it makes my file look even more impressive than it already is. I got confirmation last night that my references have been called.....will be calling on monday to find out the situation if i have been merit listed yet!!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

I was in the same boat friday last week.

As you can read in the bottom portion of this message; within 1 business day of me checking in with the recruiter, I got a CFAT date.

Cant wait.

Best of luck, Jack.

How did you find out it was received at the recruitment centre? Did they email/call you?

Good day Kerry,
Seeing that it is September 17th and you haven't been booked your CFAT yet, I personally and this is my opinion only, think that you won't be on the November BMQ  of 2013 because there is 4 parts to the process, and the Screening part takes a while, at least for me. Hey, if your lucky, then all the best!
I wish you good luck and hope to see you update your post soon with good news !

I have my interview and medical left Oct 3. Would there be a chance of me getting on the Nov BMQ?

Hello,

In brevity, nobody can tell you for certain or give you a straight answer to your query; no-one knows what's happening with your file in detail or how many positions are available for your respective trade choices as a whole. You may want to discuss this with your interviewer at the time of your examination.

Also, when a trade option closes, your file stops processing because there's no point. Unless you're interested in an open trade, your file will stay closed until a trade you want opens up.

Thanks

My application is different then yours, I've applied for Reserves where as you are applying regular force. But again I wouldn't hold your breath for the November BMQ, unless the trades you are interested are still open. Good luck anyways, hope to see you posting some good news soon.
