Congrats guys/girls. Occupations and whereabouts are you from?

You do realize Islam is the second most popular religion in the world, right? That's like someone saying "I thought the majority of Christians were on our side?". There are extremists on every side, and they will likely claim they speak for the majority. Sorry for the call-out on political...

I'm from Nova Scotia. Are many other people just finishing school as well? January seems like an odd time to start BMOQ, but I will have finished my degree requirements in December. Maybe most people attending have had their degree for a while and are switching careers.

Same here.

This is what came to mind for me. And did we "react" to 9-11 with the expectation an attack would actually be prevented, or do these positions simply look good in the eyes of the public?

The interview for pilot is the same as other occupations, of which many questions and answers are already in the recruiting section of the forum. No surprises here: leadership, good grades, extracurriculars, etc. are all important. Know the basics of the job you're applying for.

My bit: Recruiting Centre: Halifax Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: Officer Trade Choice 1: Pilot Application Date: April 7, 2010 CFAT Completed : Previous Application Medical Completed: May 17, 2010 Interview completed: May 17, 2010 Aircrew Selection Completed: Previous Application...

My aircrew pass from a previous application was still valid 2 years later for my application this year. Definitely stick with it. As suggested by captloadie, find out where you could improve your application. Don´t worry about applying too many times, my two previous applications fell through...

I think there is some confusion. I meant exactly that: the application began in my final year, but by no means have I received (or have I expected to receive) any job offers until my degree is completed.

The number was in the 60s at the beginning of the fiscal year, I believe. Get in touch with your nearest recruiting centre to find out the exact number of positions remaining.

This has been my experience as well. I've completed all aspects of the application, now just waiting for the OK from the registrar's office that I've fulfilled all the requirements for my degree (will finish in December). Then my application can go in front of the selection board. I think you...

I can't imagine there's much truth in this. Folks who have their private license get no preferential treatment at ACS, so why in their application? The way I see it, everyone that passes ACS should be square (agree with famus).

ROTP and DEO intakes are separate for sure. ROTP candidates would be 4 years behind in the pipeline, since they still need to do their degrees. 63 was much higher than most people expected. Good news for applicants nonetheless.

Apparently I spoke too soon... I was in to the recruiting centre yesterday, apparently the number is 63, which is very hopeful although there will likely be a lot of strong applications (two years worth, really). I'm not an expert here, but I would imagine.

I talked with a recruiter online today, apparently still no intake numbers available for this year. Hopefully we find out soon, I'd like to get the application process started. Chemistry here. At the recruiting centre, and possibly on this website somewhere, there is a chart that shows the...
