Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Sturm0vik]

I heard that the selection for Combat Engineering and Infantry didnt happen on the 7th, anyone else hear anything? That would suck, ive been trying to get in since 2010, and ive been waiting patiently for ages now

 

[Connorp23]

Yes I was told by a recruiter from London that the selection had not happened yet, and that was on the 10th. Supposedly these things can take time though, just try to be patient.

 

[Sturm0vik]

Trying, just so excited to get started on my career, you know whats its like haha

 

[Scoobydude]

Thats funny cause CFRC Vancouver told me the selections did take place on the 7th for both CE and Infantry lol..

 

[roadrunner60]

Ya van rc told me that too but he also said they wont be getting the list with the names and numbers for another week or two.

 

[Scoobydude]

Oh okay, nice that you got a time frame out of them lol All I got was "In the not too distant future"

There was supposed to have been one August 7th, but rumours are it may not have happened. If it hasn't, you might be ready for it by the time you are merit listed.

Next selection is sometime in November.

Hi everyone,
I know this is some what different, but I am a mother who's son is going through the recruitment process now.  As I am new to all this I have been creeping all the forums on this site to gather as much information as I can.  Just to set MY mind at ease.

I want to thank you all for the Q and A's you have posted here.  They have been very informative.  I have heard the excitement and disappointment in your words, and would like to say that as mother's we are very proud of our son's and daughter's no matter the outcome.

To those of you just starting the process........ good luck.  To those starting basic.......best wishes.  To those serving........thank you.

This is my son's journey.

I may have just made a HUGE mistake, but given what information I received from the recuiter my gut tells me otherwise. However, I was floored to hear told that I had been offered the only position available for CON TECH, but I hope that it goes to someone who had it as their first choice.

I sure hope I know what I'm doing  :facepalm:
