I've had my interview/medical since the post was last updated. The Captain who interviewed me said my score was very high (yay!), and I had no problem with medical, other than the staff member who did my medical wanting some more information about my eyes. He said he was recommending me! Nothing to do now but train, and wait for the NSB on the 26th of November.  For others who are also waiting, the CFLRS has posted ceremony dates here.

I wouldn't count on making it into the Jan 13th BMQ just yet, as bunch of things can still delay your application. Just a good policy to not hold your breath waiting for the call. Good luck either way though.

I hope you guys get called up! I actually have an interesting situation where I have not technically graduated as of yet, but am in my last year of university. I talked to the recruiters at Hamilton and North Bay and they processed my application so that I would be able to get all the tests and interviews out of the way in time for my graduation. This way I will be merit-listed as soon as I get my diploma and hopefully by the fiscal year, when the new numbers are sent to the recruiters. November 1 would be nice, but very high unlikely for me  Best of luck to other potential MARS officers

I agree, he will never make the Jan 13 BMQ.....because he is a "Reserve Force" applicant and Reserve Force applicants don't attend Regular Force BMQ's.....

You might want to pay a bit more attention to the content before posting your advice.....
