Reading that policy, makes me think it was designed for simple CTs. When you throw an OT on board, it gets way more complex as basically you're just a recruit school bypass.
It is interesting,
I just read the policy and found this.

4.2 for each target occupation. PRes mbrs completing a CT – OT shall be transferred into the Reg F
and be allocated an external SIP position under DEO or NCM (refer to Table 2)
Similarly for CTs -> CTs (T)
4.8 Component Transfer And Other Career Actions
While a CT is the administrative action transferring a member from one component of the CF to another, it may be preceded by a request for additional career action.
• CT - Same MOSID. Where mbrs, both NCM and officer, are applying for a CT without any additional career action being required because they are choosing to remain in the same occupation and they meet the requirements (e.g., acceptable degree for officers) of their current MOSID. PRes members who choose to remain in the same occupation when they CT into the Reg F may or may not have reached the Operational Functional Point (OFP). PLARs will determine the level of skill and experience of members applying for CT.
Res F mbrs will be transferred into the Reg F and be allocated an external SIP position under DEO or NCM (refer to Table 2); and

4.2 Eligibility
Requirements
• Eligible. To apply for CT, all Res F members must, in addition to the eligibility requirements at Para 3.1:
• meet, if applicable, the CT – Career Program requirements;
• and be a Canadian citizen unless approved by the CDS with request to be staffed by DMCA.
• Officers. In addition, officers must also:
• possess an acceptable degree IAW DMP POL’s MOSID Entry Standards for the target occupation(s); or
• if not in possession of a degree apply for a CT Career Program managed by DMCA that will provide the opportunity for successful completion of a university degree (refer to Section 4.9).
• CT from PRes to Reg F. The procedure used for CT from the PRes to the Reg F differs from that of the other Reserve sub-components. The difference recognizes that members of the PRes:
• have already been processed at a CFRC to the same standard as members of the Reg F component;
• in many instances share common training standards that can easily be transferred to the Reg F; and
• frequently deploy alongside members of the Reg F.
Note: Dictated by the requirements of the individual sub-components of the Res F enrolment processing standards vary. Members of the CIC, Supp Res and Canadian Rangers wh

The 2.6 Ref says
2.6 Priority for CT
CF members wishing to CT will be given priority over civilians having no former service requesting enrolment. This priority does not restrict the conduct of
selection boards for applied skills assessment that may result in advantageous merit listing of civilian applicants to:
• specialist occupations (e.g. Legal, Chaplains, etc);
• occupations for which national assessments are conducted (e.g.
Naval Officer Assessment Board (NOAB), Military Police); or
• Musicians (auditions).
However based on the trades listed this isn't your typical merit board this is a supplementary board after the fact.
So unless this reference has been superseded and rewritten, I'm under the impression that if the trade is
open to candidates off the street, I
should be given a spot just like that? That honestly doesn't seem right, because it seems too easy and too simple.
