Good day,
I spoke with a recruiter today, he mentioned that those who apply to ROTP as a second year civilian-university student will be selected only from the third phase of the officer selections. He explained that first and for most RMC is filled up (phase I). Then, depending on how many positions they need to fill for the occupation in question (in my case Engineer Officer), they will recruit applicants from 1st year civilian universities (phase II). If at this point not all positions are filled they will then consider to recruit applicants from 2nd year civilian universities. He did however mention that not too many first years are accepted due to some sort of conflict with graduation dates that I didn't quite understand.
I am a 2nd year university student and this news makes me feel that I will most likely not be considered due to formalities. Again, he stressed that it pretty much all depends on the demands of the force and how many successful applicants are selected from the previous two phases.
My question then is, can anyone on this forum chime in on how many Engineer Officer's the CF will be recruiting this year? What is the proportion between selected applicants to the number of applicants in general to the specific occupation? Are there statistics based on these questions from previous years available anywhere? Do you know anyone who has been recently selected as a 2nd year civi-student to the EngOfficer occupation? Unfortunately this recruiter was not able to answer any of these questions for me... which is understandable! I thought that I'd give it a shot here too just in case!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Matthew
