Hey guys!
I am currently merit listed as a Infantry Officer for the regular forces, however, as the Canadian Forces are not hiring a lot of Infantry Officers this year (according to my file manager) I thought it would be within my best interest to continue to grow, and to gain military experience.
My file manager told me to contact the reserve unit I am interested in to begin the process. However, upon contacting the reserve unit, the gentleman answering the phone informed me that the recruiter was not in, and suggested that I go to a recruiting center in Toronto to begin the process.
I feel like I am getting the run around, as my file manager in the Oshawa recruiting center tells me to go to the reserve unit, and then the reserve unit tells me to go to a different recruiting center in north Toronto.
As such, I was hoping someone would be able to answer two questions for me:
1. How is this process supposed to work? (Should this be done at a recruiting centre, or at the reserve unit, considering I already have a service number)
2. Will this effect being merit listed as an Infantry Officer?
P.S. I tried finding the answer myself through the in site search function, as well as through Google search functions, to no avail.
