Hey Y'all,

Just thought I would share my timeline with you since I applied...

Recruting Center:CFRC BARRIE
Regular/Reserve:REGULAR
Officer/NCM: NCM
Trade Choice 1: MP
Trade Choice 2: MARINE ENGINEERING MECHANIC
Trade Choice 3:
Application Date: JUNE 1ST 2010
First Contact: AUGUST 2010
Aptitude completed : DID NOT HAVE TO DO CFAT , SCORES STILL VALID FROM WHEN I WAS IN RESERVES
Interview completed: SEPTEMBER 15TH 2010
Medical completed:NOVEMBER 27TH 2010
MPAC: STILL AWAITING AN INVITE
Position Offered: ------
Basic Training Begins: ------

So as you can see I applied back in June 2010 and it's now the end of January so 9 months in the process. I was in the Infantry Reserves for a short stint 2006/2007 released because I moved out west to work and there was not a reserve unit close to me. I am currently waiting for an MPAC invite. My last contact with CFRC Barrie on stated that my file was being verified and waiting to be merit listed. They could not provide me with any idea on a date for MPAC and said possibly not untill April , but to call back once a month to check on dates.

I don't mind waiting it will all be worth it in the end good luck to everyone else applying!

It has been a pretty easy process so far, I've found. Scored fairly well on the CFAT. Oddly, out of the five of us who wrote the aptitude test, i was the fourth one to get told how I did and the only one offered to have the medical and interview done right after on the same day (I assume thats a good thing for me?). Medical went fine. My health is in good condition.
I was told to call back in about two weeks to make sure my criminal record check and credit check are good (I've never been convicted of a crime and I'm 18 and have no established credit to begin with).
He said if all goes well I should hear back in april and should be looking towards a summer BMQ.

I got interested in the Sonar Op trade from researching it on the forces website. I also was told a thing or two about it from my girlfriends father (who is a MAR ENG) and he made me think I'd be a good fit for it.

I'm almost expecting if I get a call that it will be for Sonar Op since, while I do meet the minimum requirements for MAR ENG, my grades were not the greatest in high school. However, I did score fairly high on the aptitude test so hopefully they look at that more when picking people.

CFAT: Jan. 27th, 2009 - Old one still valid.


I'm still waiting on my update interview, but the civilian University has accepted my application in the Nursing Program. They also treated my application before the closing date, which they said is unusual since it's a limited enrollment program and they usually wait. I guess they really liked my file

Now I just need the CF's decision for ROTP and I'm going back to school!!

edit: can't write well it seems.

If we would like to change one of our 3 choices, do we have to wait until the new fiscal year? or is it possible to do it now? I've been hearing conflicting reports.  Thanks guys.

 

[willellis]

You can change it whenever you want, but if you have already been interviewed for the trades you have chosen, you will have to be re-interviewed for your new selection.
