The purpose of the UTPNCM is to develop selected candidates for service as career Officers in the Regular Force. It is stressed that the UTPNCM program is intended only for those who have displayed personal qualities and job performance indicative of Officer potential.
The UTPNCM is first and foremost an officer production program, with academic upgrading included as part of the plan. Academic upgrading can consist of up to four years of study to pursue an undergraduate degree.
Once selected for subsidization under the UTPNCM program, candidates will attend Basic Officer Training prior to the start of their first year of studies.
Upon completion of the first year of studies candidates will normally attend a summer of Second Language Training (unless already bilingual).
Subsequent summers after the second, third and fourth year of study are spent conducting the Phase training appropriate for the candidate's Officer MOC.
Candidates selected for UTPNCM will be given the rank of Officer Cadet while undergoing training and will be promoted to 2Lt upon graduation from university.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements
An applicant must be able to complete all academic training and obligatory service prior to the end of their IE contract (25 years service). Normally 4 years of study would incur 5 years of obligatory service. Therefore a member would need at least nine years left in their contract from the commencement of academic studies; or phrased another way, a member would not normally be able to have more than 11 years in the CF prior to commencement of studies. It should be noted, however that those who have already completed a year or more, of university will require less subsidization and incur less obligatory service. Therefore, depending on the amount of studies completed to date, a member may be able to apply even if they have more than 10 years in service. For more information on obligatory service, refer to DAOD 5049-1. If you have questions on whether you have enough time to apply please contact the PSO office.
An applicant must have successfully completed a minimum of two full credit university courses or their equivalent. Community college courses designated by the college as university transfer courses, or accepted by a university as such, are acceptable in meeting eligibility requirements. Credits granted for other training or experience do not count towards meeting this eligibility requirement
An applicant may not normally possess a baccalaureate degree. If an applicant does possess a degree they should consult the Special Commissioning Plan on this site, and (CFAO 9-70). In certain cases where an applicant possesses a degree that is not relevant to their intended Officer MOC they may apply for a waiver and apply under UTPNCM. (i.e. if an applicant has a Bachelor of History degree but is seeking sponsorship under UTPNCM to become a Nursing Officer.) Applicants with specific questions should consult the PSO.
An applicant must be of the Corporal rank (substantive) or above by the closing date of the competition.
An applicant must meet the minimum medical category of their desired Officer MOC.
An applicant must be able to provide proof of application to a civilian university.
An applicant must choose a course of study that is relevant to their desired Officer MOC as per Annex A to CFAO 9-12.
