Cui said:I wonder what the RC staff talk about at their parties. They probably do laugh at the dumb stuff that we applicants sometimes say :facepalm:
Cui said:Cool, I am a first year arts student at Waterloo, and will be a Sociology/Legal Studies double major starting this fall as a 2nd year.
I applied for civvy-u ROTP as well, didn't apply for RMC.
I applied for armour and logistics as well, just that they are in completely opposite orders haha.

gawnewiththewind said:On another note, my friends are finding great amusement in trolling me. My phone buzzes once regardless of whether someone is calling or texting me (it is broken) and so for the last week and a half, they have been coordinating with each other to text me at random times between 8 and 4. I, of course, think it's a call (maybe even THE call!) and grab my phone, only to find them asking if CFRC has called and if I know I'm going to RMC or not yet. They find it hilarious.
oaktown said:Just got looking at my last years notice of selection and terms of service. To give a rough outline of how it played out for me last year - ***1)This is just my experience and doesn't mean it will be the same for you or this year at all and 2) Use this info how you wish to help you sleep at night or plan your summer again acknowledging it was based on MY experience and could very well be different ***- My notice of selection arrived 27-Apr it included: That I was selected, for which institute, degree program, MOSID, and who I needed to respond to with my intentions and by when (Also I was told this response was just of my intentions, until you sign anything nothing is official...as seen since I ended up turning down my offer) AND, my terms of service arrived 14-July it included: Posted to (institution), Rank, Pay, MOSID, Transfer date, and terms of service (length)..it then said again you have x-amount of days to reply before moving forward...and I was told this reply was a bit more of a commitment more like 99% yes I'm in, but again NOTHING is official, especially with the military until the paper is signed and even then until you are on the ground....this is from past experience with courses etc.
Hope this info gives you all some more insight. Also I hope all are keeping busy and well.

The Travel Is There said:Student Border Services Officer with Canada Border Services Agency.

what is that
Cui said:If you are a post-secondary student, like in university or college, I don't know about CEGEP, you can work for the Canadian Border Services as a border services officer.
A border services officer is just someone who makes sure that people have the proper documents (i.e passport, visa) when they come into Canada, and also that they don't have anything that they are not supposed to have (i.e. weapons, drugs, organic product, etc.).
Students will be employed for the summer doing that, I don't know if it's under the supervision of an actual border services officer or not, someone who know more about it can shed some light about it.
The Travel Is There said:Students work along side seasoned BSO's.
They typically only work in primary inspection though.
They also work in postal and commerical operations.
They no longer work at land crossings since officers are now armed.
migperreault said:Is it in any city with a CFRC? Because it's written that only one city in quebec needs that job...
Chalupas said:Not to increase anxiety or anything haha ... But I called my local RC (London, ont) and was told that all first round selections have been made and they have been sent to the national center for final processing and approval and distribution of offers will begin within the next two weeks, closer to may 1st was the date I was given
