I called last week and I was told they are still waiting for my medical file to clear. I find it weird that I couldn't start my application unless there was a position open.

I probably would receive and update on my Medical file sometime in June.

Update : I called it my medical is finally completed just waiting on the call I guess... Called the recruitment centre and they are now reviewing the file whatever that means. I will probably get the call around mid july. Just calling it because it worked the last time .

Hmm, so they contacted all my references before my CFAT, is that normal? Hopefully everything will be done then by the time I get to my interview!

Yes that is normal

As an update, my medical delayed the application process, since I have a benign heart palpitation that needed to get checked out (ECG, 24-hour halter monitor, blood test, Doctor's note). I was cleared late May/early June.

Today I got the call to attend the NOAB, which takes place between July 5th and July 9th. NCSE remains my first choice, naturally.

Just wanted to post my current status. It was pretty cool that I was contacted the morning after I dropped off my physical papers (I applied online). My CFAT was scheduled for the next day, and I booked my interview and medical right afterwards. I passed my CFAT, no sweat.

G'day All,

I just thought I would add my 2 cents about my recruiting process and a little bit of my background. I was in the Infantry Reserves for a very short time October 2006-April 2007. I completed my basic training on weekends from January-March. I left the forces when I finished college in April of 2007 as I got a job out in the middle of nowhere in Alberta (i was living in Ontario) and had no time to join up with a reserve unit out there. After 3 years of talking about getting back into the forces I finally applied. I enjoyed my short time in the reserves and am anxious and wanting to learn more in the regular force. I graduated from Police Foundations and have applied for Military Police. I have had a full time Security job for the last 3 years for experience and am now ready for a new challenge and hope that I will be accepted into the CF.

My little story -> So it goes like this. I am told after the CFAT that i should expect a call in 7-10 days, i assume business days - I waited 2 weeks for a call and did not receive one, so i asked an online recruiter if i should call in, but he assures me that i should continue to wait. Here i am a week and a half later. Since i put it out of my mind to make the time pass a little faster, waking up to a message that says please call we have an interview spot tomorrow was a little shocking, in a good way. I am now going to go study every facet of the LCIS tech occupation, again.

Great idea!  Good luck wish you all the best...

Congrats !!  Just remember to relax it's serious, yes, but be relaxed. I couldn't sleep the night before mine not a bloody wink , actually for about three days I was all excited like that. Try and get some rest and remain sharp and focused.

Look sharp too. If you can remember Coach Boones ( Denzel Washington in Remember the Titans ) speach on how to show up for football camp

All the best !!!!

I concur, do not be nervous, they are not out to trick you, they ask very straight forward questions. Just be confident, look the part, wear a nice suit, shave, get a haircut, and make sure to look the interviewer in the eye when you answer
