Application Date: Sept. 24th, 2004

Medical completed: Feb. 15th 2006
Interview completed: Feb. 22nd 2006 (Nov. 26th, 2004 (well, half of it))
Background check completed: Feb. 6th 2006 (pre-security clearance process since Nov. 10th, 2004, but cancelled on Dec. 21st 2005)
Merit Listed: waiting
Position Offered: waiting
Basic Training Begins: waiting

Description:
Ok, after waiting a complete year (pre-security clearance), the security officer at CFRC Montreal has called me to confirm I was still interested in joining the Forces. A couple of minutes in the conversation, he realizes I've been working through a government department/agency and tells me he could get me exempted from having pre-sec. Finally, on Dec. 21st 2005 (what a Christmas gift!), he calls me to tell me I'm back on track. Recruiting process is back on.

On Jan. 15th 2006, CFRC calls me to update my letters of reference (only valid for one year). Update them, then I realized my background check has already been done due to pre-sec, medical scheduled on Feb. 15th 2006, then I scheduled my interview for Feb. 22nd 2006, which is pretty fast in my mind (faster than first time). Now, after the interview, I only have to do the physical test, then my file is complete and ready to be sent to Ottawa. Next DEO Infantry Officer board in June 2006, next IAP/BOTC in September 2006. Lots of time to train! Yay! ;D

Edit:
Note: if you have any question, feel free to pm me.

Handed in my physical test results to the CFRC. File is complete now and I'm merit listed because my medical has been approved in the meantime.

Next is THE call. Next DEO BOTCs are starting on April 10 and May 29. Time to keep it up! YAY!

Yes its true I started the application process in Feb 2005. The reason that my security clear is sooooooooooo long is because I have been living outside of  Canada. At this moment I am in Vancouver.....I do go back and forth regularly.....but nevertheless I live in Europe. Hope this doesn't discourage anybody in my situation, if you want something bad enough I guess you have to work for it. I do keep in touch with recruiting and its just a matter of waiting.  If for whatever reason they wouldn't want you I think they would inform you (as long as you keep in touch, to avoid those horror stories you read about in some of these posts i.e. lost  applications or mysteriously closed applications. Anyways will let all know if I get more info. (if I ever do get called on I will have the biggest damned party ever !)
