If your marks are high enough, (and recruiting numbers are low) I feel that it wouldn't hurt to go for your honors.  You can always apply to the CF before you finish your studies anyway. When I had my interview I was told that having an honors degree helped me because it put me ahead  of all...

I am no expert as I am going the DEO route but I feel that they are probably looking for an all around package.  This would consist of good marks, played on sports teams, been involved in social clubs, work/volunteer experience as well as solid interpersonal skills. Personally, I would rather...

I think your best bet is to head to your nearest recruiting center and speak with someone in the medical department before you fill out any papers.

All of the information that I needed was emailed.

I also feel that you should finish your degree.  You could join the reserves while you are in school to get experience (something I wish I did).  This experience will help you decide if you prefer Officer or NCM.  With the lack of hiring currently going on in the CF there is also no guarantee...

Most trades are currently closed but with some luck some may be open come 2012 when you are good to go! One has got to admire your perseverance. It will only serve to help you during your second attempt.  Best of luck! :salute:

For what trade?

I was selected for Infantry Officer I was informed in late September/early October there probably were no more positions and then received "The Call" late last month.  Things must have changed.

I was selected a couple weeks ago for the January 2012 BMOQ.  I had my interview in early September and was told that I blew through their standards in all areas but the only thing that I have to worry about is the lack of jobs at the time.  I am also bilingual and have a brother doing the exact...

So excited that you posted on the wrong thread!! ;D  Good job adrianl and best of luck with the course and future training!!  :cdn:

...we are doomed  ;)

You could be applying to a police force where they hook you up to a lie detector and grill you for multiple hours.  When I had my latest interview (Infantry O) it only took about an hour.  If you are applying for 3 trades it could go 2 hours because there is a lot to go over. This isn't for an...

They are recent for my situation.  I called around the 20th of September and was informed that there were no more positions for Infantry Officer available but be patient because things may change.  I guess they did.

Very excited and shocked.  I thought that I was going to have to wait another year!

I just got the call today and accepted a position for Infantry Officer.  It took over 3 years but I finally made it.  Look forward to meeting you folks on the course.

Congrats on the great news!  I was merit listed for Infantry O a week before they ran the last English BMOQ.  Hopefully all the stars will align and I will get a call too.  Not sure where in Canada you're from but make sure you pack plenty of warm clothes!  Quebec is a lot colder than here...

I never mentioned that one should take a job that they knew they would not enjoy.  I was only talking about similar trades.  I am an applicant that would be willing to accept 4 different positions in the CF.  There are obviously some that I would prefer over others. We all have to work so...

I personally think that decision would depend on several factors.  If the two trades in question are very similar you might as well go for the second as opposed to the possibility of waiting several years for the first.  Also, if one's current job is lousy, pays poorly and has no pension then...

Thousands of people are in the same boat as you.  Many have been in it for a much longer time!  It is called Hurry up and Wait.  If you want any information the best idea is to head into their office and ask.  Calling/emailing every 3-4 weeks is a good idea too just so they do not forget about...

There is nothing fancy about the CF interview process.  Dress well and do not be late.  Make sure you have a general idea about the trade that you are applying for as well as the training that you would be put through if selected.  Think about which personality traits would be necessary for the...
