Pay increments

I'd also like to know how someone would be received instant promotion after bmq for being semi-skilled, I will be going into my 3rd(and last) year of electronics engineering technology and I plan on joining as regF LCIS Tech after that in about 1 year.

Wookilar · 3 Jun 2007

As semiskilled, you will get advanced standing as a Pte after BMQ (which means higher pay). If your trade qualifications are sufficient, you may only do partial QL3 (maybe even partial QL5) to complete that level of training. In most tech trades, you need QL5 to qualify for Cpl.

The only "instant" promotions to Cpl I have ever seen after Basic where individuals that were previously trades qualified, released and then re-enrolled.

For critical manning trades such as LCIS there are often specific enrollment programs, which allows for what is mentioned herein as semi skilled. However each is different and distinct from one another based on the MOS requirements. Anyone wishing to enrol who already have a s specified skillset should contact their CFRC to obtain exact details about each.

I have a friend who is currently enrolled and on his LCIS Crse in Kingston. He also has a College Deploma in Electronics, but finds most of the training to be all new to him. He is a member of this site, and perhaps he can set you straight on some of your questions on these matters. You will have to do POET before you do your LCIS Crse, so it is a long and demanding path before you finally graduate and get posted to a Unit.

You may get a promotion to Cpl on graduation, but be forwarned that there are rules that apply to "Advanced Promotions" that can affect your career later.

ANNEX B -- ACCELERATED PROMOTION GENERAL
1. A CO may nominate for accelerated promotion members with outstanding
ability, leadership, or supervisory potential. Accelerated promotion to Cpl
must be in recognition of demonstrated outstanding performance as a
tradesperson, whereas nomination for accelerated appointment to MCpl or
above must also recognize leadership potential. A Pte may be nominated for
accelerated promotion to Cpl or appointment to MCpl but a member of the
rank of Cpl or above may be nominated for accelerated promotion only to the
next higher rank, including appointment to MCpl.
2. A member's promotion shall not be accelerated through successive ranks
or to the same rank twice except as provided for in paragraph 7 of this
annex.
3. Except as otherwise indicated, members governed by Tables 3, 4, 5, 7,
and 8 of Annex A are not eligible for accelerated promotion.
4. Accelerated promotion of Pte/Cpl to MCpl in the INFMN, ARTYMN FD,
ARTYMN AD, CRMN, FLD ENG, FEE Op LMN and RAD OP MOCs shall be in accordance
with the Delegated Authority Promotion System (DAPS) as detailed in
Appendix 2. Members promoted to MCpl by DAPS must meet the prerequisites
prescribed in Table 2 to Annex A and Table 2 to this Annex to be eligible
for nomination to accelerated promotion to Sgt.
5. To be eligible for nomination for accelerated promotion, a member must
meet the prerequisites prescribed in Table 2 to Annex A and those in the
appropriate tables to this Annex. A member may be nominated for accelerated
promotion to Mcpl without being MOC qualified but may not be promoted until
all prerequisites are met. The CO shall negotiate priority coursing with
the appropriate career manager (CM).
6. Excepting those MOCs to which the DAPS is applicable, as detailed in
Appendix 2, regardless of the date of nomination for accelerated promotion
to Mcpl or above, a special PER must accompany the submission; however,
this does not negate the requirement for an annual or posting PER as
applicable.

PROMOTION -- PTE -- CPL
7. A Pte's promotion may be accelerated to AL/Cpl who lacks QL5A
qualification because of Service reasons provided the member meets all the
other prerequisites in Table 1 to this Annex.

PROMOTION -- PTE -- MCPL
8. Excepting those MOCs to which the DAPS is applicable, as detailed in
Appendix 2, a Pte nominated for accelerated promotion to Mcpl shall be
accelerated to Cpl pending merit board consideration. The effective date of
promotion to Cpl will be the date the recommendation was approved. The
effective date of promotion to Mcpl will be in accordance with merit list
position.

COMMAND CEILING -- ACCELERATED PROMOTION PTE TO CPL
9. Each year on 31 Dec, NDHQ/DPCAOR will allocate ceilings for
accelerated promotion of Ptes to Cpl. Command ceilings shall not be
exceeded without the approval of NDHQ/DGPCOR. Unused portions of annual
allocations shall not be carried over into the next calendar year.

I've been wondering, are there any circumstances under which a reserve pte would be promoted to a cpl before 2 years in?

Try reading CFAO 49-5 -- CAREER POLICY - NON-COMMISSIONED MEMBER -PRIMARY RESERVE.

PO2FinClk · 4 Jun 2007

For LCIS & ATIS, due to their manning shortages several people with the "right" skillset were bypass POET & QL3 in recent years. These pers are considered "Direct Entry Enrollee's" However, you must have the exact skillset which their are looking for as determined by CFSCE Stds & CFRG, so the best place to ask is at the CFRC itself. If any are still ongoing, CFRC's will have the ability to provide you with all the paritcular information pertaining to these two occupations and the specific & unique enrollment programs available for each.

This is not to say that the CFAO's George mentions above are not applicable, quite to the contrary as they will guide you career post enrollement.

P2 FinClerk ? for you

currently an OCdt payed as CPL IPC/3 due to the ISS program I was selected for will I recieve an IPC increase as I would have if I had stayed in my former trade until the end of BOTP Ph II in december??

Thanks

George Wallace · 10 Jun 2007

As you are being paid as a Cpl IPC/3 you will continue to be paid at that Level until such time as your Rank entitles you to be paid at that Rank Scale. I am sure that if you follow the previous links, you will find the official word, and that is all that P2 FinClerk can quote you. As an OCdt, it is time to start getting used to researching CFAO's, QR&O's, DOAD's and other DND Administrative links, as you will have to be the 'expert' when you get to 'lead men'.

Very nice. If you go to the CFAO's, QR&O's and DAOD's in the links and looked up Vested Rights, and what a member is entitled to and then the CF Pay Scales (Links in another Thread) you will find the info necessary to answer the original question. Now we are wasting time.

Vested rights insured that people did not lose money
when commissioned from the ranks or when the CF
mandated a change to a member's career. Under
vested rights, a corporal appointed to officer cadet in
the University Training Plan - Non-Commissioned
Member (UTP NCM), for example, would continue
to be paid their corporal rate of pay, plus receive any
future Incentive Pay Categories (IPCs) and
economic increases, PO2 Bernard explained

Pick out the paragraphs that pertain to you:

CFAO 49-4 -- CAREER POLICY NON-COMMISSIONED MEMBERS REGULAR FORCE

PURPOSE
1. This order amplifies QR&O chapters 11 and 14, and prescribes the
policy for non-commissioned members (NCMs) on promotion, reduction,
reversion, and relinquishment of rank in the Regular Force.

DEFINITIONS2. In this order:
ENROLMENT
includes re-enrolment in, or transfer to, the Regular Force;

ENTER PROMOTION ZONE (EPZ)
means the date on which a member is eligible for consideration for
promotion. The EPZ date is determined from the enrolment date adjusted
by adding any leave without pay (LWOP) granted on enrolment, plus the
minimum promotion time prerequisite for the next higher rank specified
in Annex A, minus the time credit for promotion (TCP) if applicable,
but it is never earlier than the enrolment date; or on promotion it is
determined from the seniority date plus the minimum time prerequisite
for the next higher rank specified in Annex A;

OCCUPATION TRANSFER (OT)
means the transfer of NCMs from their current military occupation
(MOC) to another MOC;

PROMOTION
includes appointment as master corporal (MCpl), granting of acting
rank, and advancement within the rank of private from private
(recruit) (Pte(R)) to private (basic) (Pte(B)) to private (trained)
(Pte(T));

QUALIFICATION LEVEL (QL)
replaces "Trade Qualification (TQ)" and means the level of skill and
knowledge specified for individual MOCs in the A-PD-series
publications;

QUALIFYING SERVICE
means the service required for entry into the promotion zone (EPZ) or
for promotion to the next higher rank;

REDUCTION IN RANK
means the compulsory demotion from a substantive rank to a lower rank
by reason of, or consequent upon, a sentence imposed by a Service
tribunal;

REVERSION IN RANK
means the return to a lower rank by other than reduction and includes
revocation and relinquishment of rank or appointment;

SENIORITY DATE
means the date of promotion to substantive rank or in the case of a
person who holds the rank granted on enrolment, the date of enrolment.
This date may be subject to various adjustments;

TIME CREDIT FOR PROMOTION (TCP) TCP
means the qualifying service calculated on the basis of the member's
previous service, rank and military and/or civilian qualifications.
TPC determines the earliest date a member may be eligible for
promotion to the next higher substantive rank and is used to calculate
the initial EPZ date, and

TRAINING IN THE NEW MOC
includes MOC qualification training and/or language training.

PROMOTION FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE OR GALLANTRY
3. A member may be promoted in recognition of meritorious service or an
act of gallantry; such promotions require the approval of the Minister of
National Defence.

PROMOTION AUTHORITY
4. Subject to paragraph 5, the approving authority for:
a. promotion to Pte(B), Pte(T), acting lacking/corporal (AL/Cpl),
acting/corporal (provisional) (A/Cpl(P)) and Corporal (Cpl) is
the member's commanding officer (CO);

b. except as specified in Annexes A, B and F, appointment to MCpl,
or promotion to sergeant (Sgt) or to a higher rank, is National
Defence Headquarters/Director General Personnel Careers Other
Ranks (NDHQ/DGPCOR); and

c. except as specified in Annexes C and F, granting and revoking
acting rank (acting lacking (AL) and/or provisional(P)) is
NDHQ/DGPCOR.

5. The approving authority for:

a. accelerated promotion to Cpl is the member's CO subject to any
limitations imposed by the officer commanding the command (OCC);

b. accelerated promotion to MCpl or to a rank higher than Cpl is
NDHQ/DGPCOR; and

c. promotion from acting to substantive rank is the CO when the
lacking prerequisite has been obtained.

6. The sole authority for revoking a member's appointment as MCpl is
NDHQ/DGPCOR. Except as provided for in Appendix 2 of Annex B and paragraph
10 of Annex F, eligibility for reappointment will be determined by the
first merit board convened following revocation.

7. The approving authority for granting acting rank "while so employed"
is limited to designated commanders of operational theatres, as determined
by the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS). A rank authorized on a
while-so-employed basis shall be revoked not later than the date when the
member ceases to be employed in the operational theatre.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR PROMOTION
8. In accordance with QR&O 11.02, a member may not be promoted unless
the following conditions are met:
a. an appropriate vacancy in the total establishment for the
component exists:

b. the member is recommended by the appropriate authority; and

c. the member meets such promotion standards and other conditions as
the CDS may prescribe. Except in cases of OT as outlined in
paragraph 26, a member who declines promotion will be subject to
a Career Review Board (CRB) in accordance with paragraph 41.

9. Superseded by CANFORGEN 087/06

MILITARY REQUIREMENTS
10. The military requirement referred to in subparagraph 9b(2) is the
number of NCMs required at each rank level, in each military occupation, to
man the Canadian Forces (CF) establishment. Annual promotion quotas are
determined by calculating the difference between the military requirement
and the actual strength after subtracting the projected attrition for the
year from the latter figure. A member who will be selected for promotion
from the merit list within the annual promotion quota may be promoted out
of sequence during the promotion year to meet Service requirements. This
action will ensure units as full a complement of leaders as possible,
reduce turbulence, and permit the member the benefit of rank commensurate
with assigned duties.

ACTION BY COMMANDING OFFICER RESPECTING PROMOTION
11. For promotion to Cpl, AUCpl or A/Cpl(P) and for nominations to
accelerated promotions and from acting to substantive rank, form CF 743A,
UER (Unit Employment Record) Qualification Record Sheet, shall be completed
and distributed as described in Annex G.
12. A recommendation by a CO for promotion, or for qualification leading
to promotion, shall be construed to mean that the member has, in all
respects, demonstrated the necessary potential, and that the CO is prepared
to retain and develop the member in the higher rank.
13. When a CO has recommended the promotion of a member in a Personal
Evaluation Record (PER) or by any other means, it is imperative that any
change in circumstances that could affect the member's suitability for
promotion be reported immediately to NDHQ/DGPCOR by message.
14. When a promotion to Pte(T) or Cpl is denied, the CO shall inform
NDHQ/DGPCOR of the circumstances and specify the intended period of delay,
and inform the member of the action taken.
15. In all cases, the CO shall, prior to approving promotion, confirm that
the member meets the minimum medical category for the MOC as prescribed in
34-30, Medical Standards for the Canadian Forces.
16. When a promotion instruction has been issued and the CO does not
concur, recommendation that the promotion be denied shall be forwarded to
NDHQ/DPCAOR 2. The member shall be advised of the CO's action and of the
NDHQ decision.

Much more to follow......

George Wallace · 11 Jun 2007

Continued:

COUNSELLING AND PROBATION
17. A member is not eligible for promotion during a period of probation.
COMPASSIONATE STATUS18. Cpls and above who are on compassionate status in accordance with 20-4,
Compassionate Status and Postings-- Regular Force, shall be considered
for promotion in competition with their contemporaries; however, they are
not promotable for the period they remain on compassionate status.

LOWERED MEDICAL CATEGORIES
19. When a member of the rank of Cpl or above who is eligible for
promotion is assigned a temporary medical category that is lower than the
minimum required for the member's MOC, promotion shall be deferred.
Reinstatement of the member by NDHQ/DPCAOR (Director Personnel Career
Administration Other Ranks) shall occur only when a permanent category at
or above the minimum MOC requirement is approved by NDHQ/DMTS, (Director
Medical Treatment Services) or on declaration of a Career Medical Review
Board (CMRB) finding of retention without restriction. In either case, the
member must meet all other promotion prerequisites and the promotion shall
not be antedated more than 12 months. The member shall be advised of the
CO's action and the NDHQ decision.

20. Superseded by ADM(HR-Mil) Instruction 05/05

21. A Pte who has a temporary medical category that is below the MOC
requirement may be promoted to Cpl provided all other prerequisites have
been met. In the case of a Pte who has a permanent medical category that
precludes unrestricted employment, the member may, subject to NDHQ/DPCAOR
approval, be promoted to Cpl providing all other promotion prerequisites
have been met.

SENIORITY ON ENROLMENT OR TRANSFER
22. On enrolment or transfer, seniority in rank shall be calculated from
the enrolment date adjusted by any LWOP granted on enrolment and by any
seniority granted as part of the terms of enrolment. When a rank granted on
enrolment (other than Pte) is to acting/lacking qualification or
provisional status, the enrolment date adjusted by any LWOP granted on
enrolment shall be the seniority date until such time as the acting/lacking
qualification or provisional rank is converted to substantive rank. Upon
attaining substantive rank, the enrolment seniority date shall be adjusted
by the seniority granted as part of the terms of enrolment offer, and will
be authorized in accordance with A-PM-245-001/FP-001, Military Personnel
Information System, Chapter 7, Annex G.

SENIORITY ON PROMOTION
23. On promotion other than on enrolment, seniority shall be calculated as
follows:
a. Seniority in the rank of Cpl shall be calculated from the date of
promotion to substantive rank. When a promotion to substantive
rank was immediately preceded by acting rank, the date of
seniority shall be adjusted to the date of promotion to acting
rank.

b. When appointment is to MCpl or promotion to substantive rank
higher than Cpl, seniority shall be calculated from the first day
of January of the year in which the promotion was effective.

c. When appointment is from acting MCpl to substantive MCpl, or
promotion from an acting rank higher than Cpl, seniority shall be
calculated from the first day of January of the year in which the
promotion to acting rank was effective.

Note -- Time in an acting-while-so-employed rank, whether paid or unpaid,
shall not earn seniority in that acting rank.

LEAVE WITHOUT PAY
24. LWOP granted on enrolment shall not count as qualifying time for
promotion. Effective 1 Jun 86, all other LWOP of 120 days duration or less
shall count for promotion. LWOP of a duration of greater than 120 days may
count as qualifying service in total or in part as specified by the
approving authority of the leave. When a promotion instruction contains the
name of a member who is on LWOP, the CO shall advise NDHQ/DPCAOR of the
circumstances including commencement and termination dates. NDHQ/DPCAOR
will advise the CO whether the promotion will stand; will be cancelled, or
will be deferred.

PROMOTION IN FINAL YEAR OF SERVICE
25. A member is not normally eligible for promotion under the following
conditions:

a. Superseded by ADM(HR-Mil) Instruction 05/05

b. commencement of retirement leave as defined in QR&O article
16.18; or

c. the member is either released or transferred on release to the
Reserve Force and notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing
transferred on release to the Supplementary Ready Reserve (SRR)
or Supplementary Holding Reserve (SHR).

OCCUPATION TRANSFER
26. A member of the rank or appointment of Cpl and above who accepts
voluntary OT is eligible for promotion until the date of OT to the new MOC.
When a promotion is issued prior to the effective date of a voluntary OT,
the member will be advised of the promotion through the CO who will ensure
the member acknowledges that the promotion does not affect the request for
voluntary OT, but that reversion to the rank of Cpl, in accordance with
paragraph 27, will take place one day prior to the date training in the new
MOC commences.

27. Unless otherwise specified by the OT authority, a member above the
rank of Cpl shall relinquish that appointment or rank, effective the day
before the date when training in the new MOC is to commence, in accordance
with 11-12, Occupation Transfer of Non-commissioned Members-- Regular
Force.
28. A Pte who has attained QL5A and who OTs to a new MOC as a Pte may be
promoted to Cpl when the time prerequisites of the new MOC have been met.
29. A Pte who is authorized QL5AP on enrolment, re-enrolment or OT is
promotable to acting rank when all other prerequisites have been met.
30. A member who is on OT ceases to be eligible for promotion in the
former MOC effective the date of OT in accordance with 11-12.

OTHER PREREQUISITES
31. Rank prerequisites are specified in the tables in Annex A as Junior
Leadership Courses (JLCs) or as Senior Leadership Courses (SLCs).

32. Leadership training will be conducted in the candidate's First
Official Language (FOL) unless the member requests otherwise.

meet the minimum medical requirement for the MOC but who are unable to
participate fully in all performance objectives, and immediately advise
command headquarters (CHQ) and NDHQ/DPCAOR of the physical limitations
imposed. NDHQ/DPCAOR may authorize attendance by members with physical

NDHQ/DPCOR by message of the following details:
a. SIN, rank, surname, initials, and MOC of the member;

b. the course or examination failed or declined, and in the case of
the course or examination failure, the date when the member was

ANNEX B -- ACCELERATED PROMOTIONGENERAL
1. A CO may nominate for accelerated promotion members with outstanding
ability, leadership, or supervisory potential. Accelerated promotion to Cpl

accelerated promotion to Cpl or appointment to MCpl but a member of the
rank of Cpl or above may be nominated for accelerated promotion only to the
next higher rank, including appointment to MCpl.
2. A member's promotion shall not be accelerated through successive ranks
or to the same rank twice except as provided for in paragraph 7 of this
annex.
3. Except as otherwise indicated, members governed by Tables 3, 4, 5, 7,

the appropriate career manager (CM).
6. Excepting those MOCs to which the DAPS is applicable, as detailed in
Appendix 2, regardless of the date of nomination for accelerated promotion
to Mcpl or above, a special PER must accompany the submission; however,
this does not negate the requirement for an annual or posting PER as
applicable.

211 MOCs may be included under this programme when authorized by
NDHQ/DGPCOR.

2. The purpose of DAPS is to permit qualified members (Ptes and Cpls)
who have leadership potential, to be promoted to Mcpl when a specified
MOC's current merit list has been exhausted of all suitable Cpls for
appointment to MCpl, and a vacancy exists at the MCpl level.

3. A MOC that has appointment requirements at the MCpl level that can be
met by the normal promotion system is not eligible for DAPS.

4. Implementation of DAPS requires NDHQ/DGPCOR approval.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

5. To be eligible for nomination for promotion to MCpl, a Cpl or Pte
must be:

a. QL5A qualified; and

b. Combat Leader Course (CLC) or Infantry Section Commander's Course

PROMOTION -- CPL TO MCPL

6. When implementation of DAPS is approved, Cpls on the current merit
list who are qualified and suitable for promotion to MCpl, except for
meeting the minimum time prerequisite, may be promoted to MCpl effective
the date implementation was approved by NDHQ/DGPCOR.

7. Cpls nominated by the CO, and who meet the eligibility criteria, may
be promoted to MCpl, effective the date the unit vacancies are promulgated
by NDHQ/CM.

APPOINTMENT -- PTE TO MCPL

8. Ptes who meet the eligibility criteria and are suitable for promotion
to MCpl under DAPS will be promoted to the substantive rank of Cpl by the
CO effective the date the unit vacancies were promulgated by NDHQ/CM and to
MCpl the day following the date of promotion to Cpl.

PROMOTION -- LAND OCCUPATION TRANSFER PROGRAMME (LOTP) CANDIDATES

9. A LOTP candidate, having been accepted for OT, may be appointed MCpl
prior to commencement of any training required for OT without being
required to withdraw the LOTP application for OT in accordance with

As you are being paid as a Cpl IPC/3 you will continue to be paid at that Level until such time as your Rank entitles you to be paid at that Rank Scale. I am sure that if you follow the previous links, you will find the official word, and that is all that P2 FinClerk can quote you. As an OCdt, it is time to start getting used to researching CFAO's, QR&O's, DOAD's and other DND Administrative links, as you will have to be the 'expert' when you get to 'lead men'.

2. Functional commands or NDHQ groups listed in paragraph 1 will be
provided with a computer printout of the number of Ptes(T) by unit
identification code (UIC) and MOC on command or group strength as of 31 Dec
annually. The command ceilings shall be 10 per cent of this total and will
be expressed in person-years or months.

3. Information pertaining to a command or group ceiling will initially be
provided in two parts. Part 1 will indicate the MOC, the total number of
Ptes(T) in that MOC serving in the command or group, and the units by UIC
where these members are located. Part 2 will indicate the total number of
Ptes(T) at each unit within the command or group. A sample format is
outlined at Appendix 5.

4. Commands and groups are responsible for the allocation and
accountability of their person-year ceiling. For example, a member
accelerated at 36 months requires one person-year; whereas a member
accelerated at 42 months requires, half a person-year. Person-months used
as a result of an accelerated promotion will be subtracted from the
command's yearly allocation at the time promotion is authorized and will
not be carried forward into the ensuing year.

DOCUMENTATION

5. The only documentation required by NDHQ/DGPCOR for accelerated
promotion of Pte to Cpl under this policy is:

a. a copy of form CF 743A completed and distributed in accordance
with Annex G; and

b. a request for QL5A training when the member is granted AUCpl.

PROCEDURES

6. Accelerated promotion to AUCpl(LQ) or Cpl will be reported through
Unit Personnel Data Transaction (UPDT) in accordance with
A-PM-245-001/FP-001, Chapter 3, Annex B, Appendix 11.

7. NDHQ/DPCAOR, appropriate CMs, and Director Personnel Information
Systems/Input Control Center (DPIS/ICC) shall be advised of reversions by
promotion authority using the format instructions outlined in
A-PM-245-001/FP-001, Chapter 7, Annex H. Unit UPDT action shall be
completed in accordance with Chapter 3 for Central Computation Pay System
(CCPS) input, ie, using the reversion entry 11.02.

b. AL/MCpl and above is NDHQ/DGPCOR.

2. To be eligible for acting rank there must be a vacancy in the rank and
MOC, and the member must:

a. for granting an A/Cpl(P) on enrolment or transfer--

(1) be rank qualified and have completed training for the QL
specified for that rank, and

(2) meet all other promotion prerequisites in accordance with
Table 1,6, 7, or 8 to Annex A except as prescribed at sub-
subparagraph (1).

Notes-- 1. Acting rank (P) may be granted by NDHQ/DGPCOR on enrolment or
re-enrolment.

2. Acting MCpl status and acting rank (P) higher than Cpl may be
authorized by NDHQ/DGPCOR on the recommendation of a CO; and by a
CO to the rank of Cpl, when a punishment following conviction is
a sentence that has been suspended under QR&O 114.36.

3. For granting of an acting lacking rank (lacking qualification)
(AL), the member must:

(1) lack either the rank or MOC qualification for Service
reasons, except Dental MOCs that must be qualified JLC,

(2) have not previously failed the required MOC or rank
qualification, have not declined attendance on a career
course, or not have been unavailable for other than Service

ELIGIBILITY FOR ACTING LACKING RANK (AL) FOLLOWING OCCUPATION TRANSFER (OT),
RE-ENROLMENT, OR TRANSFER

3. Except as in Tables 3, 6, and 8 of Annex A when a member OTs to
another MOC, that member may be granted AUCpl if the eligibility criteria
in note 3 is met. In such cases, the effective date of promotion to AL/Cpl
will be the date the member has completed a minimum of four years
qualifying service, and has qualified QL4 in any MOC. For those MOCs that
do not have a QL4 qualification, the member must have QL3 qualification and
have a minimum of four years qualifying service.

4. Except where promotion is authorized under the terms of re-enrolment
or transfer, the earliest date that a member may be eligible for AUCpl
following re-enrolment or transfer will be determined as defined in note 3.

ACTING LACKING RANK (AL) -- FINAL YEAR OF SERVICE

5. Superseded by ADM(HR-Mil) Instruction 05/05

WHEN ACTING RANK WILL NOT APPLY

6. Acting rank shall not be granted if:

a. the member is unable to obtain the required qualification because
of medical reasons;

b. the member has failed, or declined for personal reasons,
attendance on a rank or QL course or examination required for
career progression; or

c. the member was previously reverted from the same acting rank.

PROCEDURES

7. When NDHQ is the promotion authority for acting Cpl rank, a request is
initiated by the unit CO. The form at Appendix 1 to Annex G shall be
completed and forwarded to NDHQ/DPCOR(CM), who will verify the individual's
eligibility, determine the effective date, and initiate promotion
authority. Records action shall be the same as for promotion to substantive
rank.

8. A member holding acting rank shall be nominated/selected for the first
available course in order to obtain the required qualification. Priority
will be given to members who have been promoted to acting rank in their
final year of service where a change or retirement age is involved if
promoted to substantive rank.

9. A member who holds acting rank and who subsequently is selected for
any officer training plan may be exempted from attending the QL or rank
course required for promotion to substantive rank. Such member will not be
promoted to substantive rank.

10. A member granted acting rank shall be assessed on performance in the
acting rank, subject to a minimum observation period as prescribed in 26-15.
While a member holding acting rank may be considered by a merit
board, promotions to the next higher rank cannot be effected until
substantive rank is attained in the lower rank.

11. NDHQ/DPCAOR shall review the circumstances surrounding the granting of
"lacks qualification acting rank" 18 months after promotion to AL rank and
then every 6 months until qualification is achieved to determine if CRB
action is required. Requests for deferral from attendance on career courses
shall normally be subject to CRB action.

12. Except for acting rank while so employed authorized under paragraph 7
of this order, when acting rank is terminated by promotion to substantive
rank, seniority in rank shall include time served in the acting rank.

required qualification;

b. the member declines, or is unavailable, for personal reasons, to
attend the required formal course;

c. the member's medical limitations precludes attendance on a course
required for rank or MOC progression; or

d. such other circumstances warrant revocation that do not fall
within the provisions of paragraph 13 of this Annex.

for QL training during any period when the member:
a. is on counselling and probation (C & P);

b. is on compassionate status; or

c. is not recommended for training by the CO.

3. A Pte who is on compassionate status may be selected for training for
the next higher QL. If the member is unable to attend such training, the
effect on promotion is not subject to adjustment.

4. A member of the sea operational and technical MOCs who is on C & P
may be allowed to write the appropriate MOC Fleet examination but the
qualification shall not be effective until the day after the member is
removed from C & P.

5. Within the rank of Pte, normal time frames for completing QLs are as
