Too much to read and late to the party as usual.
Here's my situation with the recruiting process.
I had initially handed in my application with the reserve unit on 7 Jan 08 (or around there)
I was then told I needed to give them a high school transcript, I had given them my college transcript, but they still wanted HS.
All paper work was submitted by me after my 30th birthday, (2nd week of Feb 08) that way I got that extra 30 seconds on the PT test, why not eh?
I call the unit too see my application process and they said the transcripts were sent to CFRC Toronto and I should be getting a call soon. 1 week goes by and nothing so I decide to drop into CFRC Toronto and ask them there. They said if the unit still has it, I'll be getting a call in a couple of days, nothing.
So I drop back in CFRC Toronto the next week with everything they needed, namely my transcripts. Done, photo copied by 1200h and the same day I received a phone call to get the ball rolling around 1400h. I was doing my CFAT and PT two days later and medical and interview were just completed this Monday.
Now my future rests upon a doctors opinion about my shoulder, skin and eye.
I thought the process was very fast once they got everything they needed. It helped that I work with family and can come and go as I please.
