Are the combat arms trades selecting in October and November? (Infantry) Or does anyone have an earlier date? Just waiting for my reference check. Finally through everything else. Almost a year into the process.
After I was given the "No" for MP I was told by my file manager during my follow-up interview that selection for combat arms is August 3rd. I changed my trades to Infanty, Armoured and Combat Engineer. So if you have been merit listed you may receive a call early to mid August; this is based on knowledge received from my file manager. Best of luck!

As we eagerly await July 23rd and hope for good news phone calls, I'm wondering how selection boards actually operate. I understand the process of being merit listed - you are awarded points for your performance on CFAT, medical, interview, etc. But how does the selection board actually select individuals? Is the applicant with the highest score on the merit list automatically offered the position, or does the selection board do a review of the files? Is the selection board made-up of officers in that trade, or is it a combination of different trades? I'm just curious as to how the process works 
I read a report that explains how the recruitment process for officers worked in the late 1990s but it seems to have changed quite a bit - back then, candidates were actually merit listed and assigned scores by the selection board, rather than by the recruiting center. The rationale was to be able to standardize how candidates were ranked nationally, but it seems like an awful lot of work!

Does anyone know if the 23rd selection date doesn't happen will they have another one shortly after to replace it? Just asking because I am on the verge of being merit listed but don't think it happened by the 22nd, calling later to find out.

Yep, I'm at what a year and 3 months. By the time I'm hopefully off to BMQ for either Inf or Eng it will be close to a year and a half 2 years.

Has anyone else tried getting a file update only to be told that they dont give updates anymore and were forced to sit and wait for them to call?

Are you out of CFRC Toronto?
The new policy is that you can no longer call the main desk to get an update. Trying emailing your MCC or your file manager. Or the forces.cs website has a ling for a contact us about your online application email.
