And when did you get in?  What course were you on?  Regular, Reserve or Cadets?  Army, Navy or Air Force?  Any other details you'd like to share to provide context?

Why don't you ask your wife?  Or have her ask her instructors?  They'd be better equipped to give you a correct answer.

Under section 24:

your parents and friends during specified hours.
During the first four weeks, you will be able to
receive visitors on Sunday afternoons from 1100hrs
– 1500hrs. On completion of week four, the
Commanding Officer has prescribed the following
visiting hours for recruits:

To avoid confusion between current policy and previous course or other on line sourses, NRTD staff have confirmed that there are NO visitation privilages during the first four weeks.  The staff are in the process of up dating the official joining instructions and requesting that previous version from the internet be removed.

Orca73,

Have there been any changes to visitation privileges AFTER the first 4 weeks?

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay in answering the follow-up question. I was waiting to confirm with the Staff here in Borden, from week 5 until graduation recruits are normally granted weekend passes.  With a signed leave pass, recruits have permission to leave the base or have visitor's in.  However, visitor's should be aware that platoons could have their leave revoked and be confined to base at any time (example-misbehaviour, not completing tasks correctly, etc).  It is recommend those planning to visit or pick up a recruit to contact the recruit prior to departing to ensure their weekend leave is still approved.
