Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[BrendenDias]

You need to update your application before your application will be moved, if you aren't competitive enough... I know I edited a section, and a week or two later it was transferred to my local RC because I had more on my application. So if you have more to add, you should add it ASAP and inform them you did so....
Btw, I also waited around 8 months to get my file transferred... so it could take a while. But since you graduated from university, that is something you should add..

FOLKS pay attention here!  You are submitting an application for a job that I can only assume that you want.  If you want it "bad enough" you are going to submit the "best possible" application that you can submit and then further be able to back it up.  There are no options to upload your resume, you need to look at the CF Employment application first, plan it out and then submit online.  It's as simple as that!!!

The CF is no different than any other employer.  The responsibility falls on you to "sell yourself"!!!  If you don't do that, you can pretty much expect the complimentary response of "sorry but you're not competitive enough".

Had my interview and medical last week. Was informed my application would be pushed to merit listed once i returned a form back from my doctors for headaches. Doctor signed off on the form today and was faxed in. Could be a few weeks to get the final decision. Hopefully they agree that the headaches are not severe and can be fixed with a simple advil.

Hope I can carry on with my career plan and serve with the best Army in the world!

[AshleyDawn]

Ashley, were you QL3 qualified and how long ago did you release?

Unfortunately, I was not QL3 qualified. I had BMQ, and IAP completed (not sure what IAP is called now, but it's the first section of Officer Training at RMC).
I VR'd in 2005, so I'm guessing I will more than likely have to repeat BMQ.

Update:

I received an email May 15 informing me that they would be proceeding with my application.  My file will be sent to CFRC Oshawa, still waiting to hear from them.

I would suggest that you call your local CFRC and make contact based on the email that you received.  If you wait for them to contact you, it might be a long time..........

Small update from me, because it applies to your situation. I had my file sent to my local CFRC on Tuesday, May 21, and I already got my security clearance/personal data verification forms today May 24th. Now I am confused about filling out the forms, so I am off to read through all the threads to make sure I am doing this right.

 

[Tralax]

I would suggest that you call your local CFRC and make contact based on the email that you received.  If you wait for them to contact you, it might be a long time..........

I called my CFRC yesterday (left a message..) to ask if they have received my file and when I could expect an update.

I haven't heard back yet.

 

[AshleyDawn]

Yup, I'd be willing to bet a months pay you'll be redoing BMQ.

Probably for the best, as my memory is a little rusty! haha.

 

[Guelph]

Still waiting for the initial contact email.......

Might be working in the armoured car industry before I ever get the email, lol.

 

[Tralax]

I first submitted in February and just got an email stating they were proceeding with my application on May 15. It takes time. Be patient.

 

[Guelph]

Will do! Thanks for sharing that.

Well, I dropped off my forms and transcripts to the recruiting center on Friday. I was told that ACSO is closed and I had to take it off my list. I selected a new list.

I was told that my old (2006) CFAT was still good for my choices, so that's great.

The person I was talking to said that if I wanted to go for pilot, I wouldn't get all the steps done in time for selections in July, and would have to wait until the November selections. However, if I want to go for engineer officer or EME officer, I could be done my medical and interview in time for the July selection and therefore the September start date (BMOQ).

I have a tough decision to make now.

ACSO is currently "limited".  Chances of you completing the screening requirements for both ACSO and Pilot between now and the scheduled selection date is most likley not possible.

You have until probably 19 Jul to complete your processing, if you want to be Merit Listed and considered for Engr and EME as selection dates for both are shortly after that date.  So stay on top of your application!!!
