Thank you! Things have been working out well on the civilian side. Unfortunately the application process left me very disenchanted. I remember driving to the nearest recruiting centre (about an hour away from where I lived) multiple times for yearly medicals, interviews, document submission, and...
Based on my personal experience, the process just took too long and there was discontinuity. I first applied in 2012 when I was 21 years old and remained in the process until 2019 when I was 28 years old, when I received a job offer. Unfortunately by that point, I was making a salary equivalent...
Hi there, if it makes you feel better, I've been in the process since 2013. There's been a lot of hurdles and I'm still not sure if I'll get a job offer, but that's why I've been more focused on my civilian career and have made it my priority. If I get an offer from the military, that's great...
It wasn't too bad to be honest. To answer your question, I have no idea. It all depends on how quickly your file is processed and completed, the number of positions available for that occupation, your position on the merit list, selection dates, and intake dates for BMQ. I applied for DEO...
I'm not sure if they would be done your background check in its entirety so quickly (including references, employment verification, credit check) - you'd have to ask your recruiting centre.
My process was as follows: CFAT + TSD --> Background check initiated (some references were called) / PLAR...
1) In my experience, the length of time for the process can vary. For example, I've been in the process since 2013 and encountered issues such as selected occupation not open for hiring, file closures, file transfers, etc. It's difficult to predict. The most recent time I applied however, I felt...
The medical is very thorough and you will be asked questions about your mental health and past treatments if applicable. I had my medical recently and it was very detailed and included questions about physical and mental health.
As for the first question, when the medical technician required...
I believe it stands for "closed / no further contact"? I.e. files that were closed and there was no further contact between the recruiting centre and applicant.
My file folder had the same thing written on it.
Congrats! I'm also applying for DEO nursing officer and just got booked for my medical and interview. If you don't mind me asking, are you entering as general duty or specialist? Also how long have you been in practice for?
Hello, I'm re-applying to the military since my file was closed a few months ago. I have a few questions:
-How long is the background check valid for? I ask because my references were called during a background check a few months ago for another occupation before my file was closed, and the...
Hello all, I am just wondering if this is a new policy that has been implemented. The last two times I went to the recruiting office, I have been searched/patted-down by a security guard prior to being able to enter. I noticed that the individual behind was not as 'thoroughly' checked as I was...
In the process once again! Hopefully it works out this time.

Interesting. I suppose it makes sense that it should be commissioned as it's a degree after all. However, there are only about 3 PA schools throughout Canada and a significantly greater number of NP schools. Also, PAs aren't as prevalent as NPs when it comes to numbers. In addition, NPs don't...
Hello, I will be completing my BScN pretty soon, and I was thinking about re-applying to the CAF. However, I recently learned that the military doesn't hire NPs, and therefore doesn't fund the MScN-NP degree. Is there a particular reason for this, and if so, is it likely to change in the near...
Hello,
So I recently found out that there is a new 'MOST' aptitude exam instituted after April 1st for MARS officer applicants. Any information regarding this exam and how to prepare for it would be very helpful. I'm scheduled to take it soon but have no clue what to expect ???
