It means that if you're 17, then you can put down someone who's known you only for 1 year (from when you turned 16), instead of 5 years. Same for the security clearance papers, you only need to go back to when you were 16. So instead of putting down addresses for the last 5 years, you only need...

Backcheck do, from what I understand, more of a "references" check. The Reliability Status is done in part by the Recruiting center and completed by DND's security clearance office. A Reliability Status does involve a verification with the RCMP. As there are literally hundreds of files...

I wasn't serving when it happened and I haven't served yet. It was a trampoline accident: went up, came down on my head instead of my feet. It hurt a lot more than you think. When I did my medical, I told the doctor and he gave me a paper for my personnal doctor. The CF Dr. wanted to know the...

I have a metal plate in my neck since I broke it. It wasn't an issue, but it happened over 10 years ago.

I'm from the Ottawa region as well. I'm still working on getting that immunotherapy issue in order, but I would be going to OttawaU.

Update! (not very good one too) Recruiting Center: Ottawa Regular/Reserves: Regular Officer/NCM: ROTP - Civillian University (Ottawa U) Trade Choice 1: Intelligence Trade Choice 2: Infantry Trade Choice 3: Armour Application Date: January 5th, 2008 First Contact: January 16th, 2009 CFAT: Jan...

Just to clarify: Your Application to get in the CF will most probably not be delayed. Your Security Clearance Application, should you need a security clearance for one for the job you'd be going into, will  be most likely take longer than usual to process. Martin

The delays will not be with Backcheck, they will be on the Security Clearance and possibly Reliability Status side. You can expect impressive delays if you've lived in Canada only for a year or so.

For Civvy University, I was told I could work until the day before classes start. Not sure about RMC, but it should be similar or a week or two before the actual start of classes.

I was told I could keep my full time job until the last minute (day before) I actually start full time at the university. From that, one could deduce that the salary will start on your first day of classes, but I could be mistaken. Two salaries at once wouldn't be too bad... even if the CF one...

All Reliability Status and Security Clearance checks are completed in Ottawa, but the recruiting centers have some responsibilities when it comes to Reliability Status. The recruiting centers, under certain circumstances, will have to perform their own checks and send the results to Ottawa.

nothing at all! You didn't quote, so I thought it was a separate statement and somehow pointed at me since I offered info. Man I feel stupid this morning.

I was just trying to point out that: fingerprints does not equal criminal activities (or that the CF thinks you're engaging in criminal activities) I wasn't trying to set anyone straight, just providing additional info since I work in the field of security clearances. Jayson Wonder was...

This statement is what caused the need for fingerprints. For everyone else: Fingerprints are required for individuals who have had involvement with the authorities (offences mainly). They may also be requested if some of your particulars are similar to the particulars of someone else and...

Fingerprints may be required even if he replied no (and was truthful) to that question. Someone with a super clean record could be asked to provide fingerprints.

I was informed that I'll be contacted again in June/July for the official offer. So there's no time left after that for training before Civy U.

Based on my "reply to your offer by this date", I would guess after 16 Mar 09.

You mean you've been selected for Civilian University ROTP instead of RMC?

I was told September. I don't have complete information about all the course though, so there may be an earlier one too.

What I was told is that the offer is on the table and they'll contact me (probably the others too) in June/July and my first thing to do will be University. Nothing else before university. I was told to continue working or doing whatever I'm doing now until the very last minute before I start...
