I called last week and I was told they are still waiting for my medical file to clear. I find it weird that I couldn't start my application unless there was a position open.

I probably would receive and update on my Medical file sometime in June.

I find it weird that I couldn't start my application unless there was a position open.

Not much point in doing the processing, paperwork, etc for a trade that isn't open.

Not much point in doing the processing, paperwork, etc for a trade that isn't open.

There are also many folks already processed and waiting on these positions. This is how it was explained to me. You'll moved through and be contacted when they can get you in the game.

Got a call from DND today by a MCpl and I forgot since it seemed like I was just another person to just float off the system, so it was a shock to get a call about me re-taking the CFAT and that the MCpl put a haste note on my application to get finished so he can book a CFAT if it goes well. So it's back to studying my math and fractions ect. so I can score higher on the CFAT this time round.

I was just talking to the CFRC, and I was told that my best bet is to wait until the new year to apply for any Sig Op or Combat arms trade. Now I have more time for PT.

Could have retaken the CFAT dis-morning but I slept in and would also like the waiting period to do more math and IQ tests and prep more for the CFAT. So I called around 3ish, seems I got the ok to re-take the test and MCpl had a look over my GED or HS Diploma and things looked good. Hoping that I can score high enough and be given a chance at BMQ and prove I can do this!

Noticed you applied for the same position at the same RC as me...lol. Just pointing that out

Ahaha, well it happens. If your out east a little bit more, Oshawa is the only CFRC within the east end (Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle). Did you end up doing the CFAT and such? I was finished everything within a month or 2 really but my clearance was/is taking taking forever. Not even sure after they told me months ago that it was my Credit Check but it's been 3 months since they told me it takes that long. I should start a blog if I make it in lol. Any news about your position ? (or status update on your file).

Well, it'll be a week tomorrow since I've put in my application. I haven't got any dates for my CFAT yet, and I have to send in an extra security form because my damn day lives in Bermuda and I had lived with him for 7 years lol. When I applied they told me the LCIS trade was open and that everything "should" roll on with no hiccups, so we'll just wait and see
