Alright, I finally had my interview today and got merit listed.  I was told that the process should take fairly quick as all the paperwork is done like dinner! Hopefully, things go well!

Forgive me if someone already dealt with this, I was just flipping thru and didn't go back over the 40+ pages of posts. Working in recruiting myself right now I'll tell you that's it's an imperfect world, but it's a lot better than it was. That being said, delays in the process can happen for a number of reasons (some of which I'm positive some of the applicants have omitted here). Some of the more common reasons are easily: Medical categories or applicants not returning the Med Info that was requested of them and then wondering why they weren't merit listed; change of address, I understand moving's  a big thing, but if you want a job, we've gotta be able to reach you!; positions, this one hurts because it's no one's fault, there's only so many spots a year open for certain trades and they do tend to fill up quickly. There are tons of other reasons I could list here, and just so no one calls me on it, mistakes our made in the system (after all, we're only human), but we strive to do our best, at least where I work. We understand the frustration, the long waits and lack of info. Believe me, we don't like it either. But there's only so much that can be done by that recruiter or file manager on the other end of the phone. Kindly remember, as much as the numbers in the forces don't show it, we've got hundreds (in our locations case) of files as well as yours to process.

I had to wait 3 weeks for my doctor's papers (damn shortage of doctors...) before they sent my medical to Ottawa so I'll have my final answer in 2~3 weeks. (I hope...)

I was told if I did my PT/Med/Interview all 'now' as in soon, aka next week, I may be able to be put in to the November training. I'm really exited for this because before I was told I'd have to wait till January. I don't have any medical complications that should delay the medical results getting in, I hope I pass everything and the medical results come in quick, so I can start soon .
