Rumor has it there should be a selection board for CEOTP Pilot soon, just wondering if anyone knows if it has happened yet or if we can still anticipate it?

Here's my full application process. Not too long, but most definitely didn't feel quick!
 
Recruting Center: Montreal
Regular/Reserve: Reserve
Officer/NCM: Officer
Trade Choice 1: Intel officer
Trade Choice 2: Military police officer
Trade Choice 3: Infantry officer
Application Date: Around the end of October 2013
First Contact: End of November 2013
Aptitude : February 14 2014. Qualified for officer direct entry.
There was a huge wait time in between my Aptitude test and the next call. My file may have been lost for a while.
Interview : May 5 2014. Went smoothly, took about 20 minutes. Most of it was explaining CF rules and signing documents.
Medical : May 6 2014. That portion of the process could've been my downfall. I was asked to send some additional documents from doctors.
Medical papers sent : May 12 2014
Received a call for the physical test and a confirmation that my medical has been approved : June 5 2014. What a relief.
Physical test : June 12 2014 (in a couple of days)
Security check : Incomplete, but my references have been called. I think it might be longer because the intelligence trades required a higher security clearance.
Position Offered: I applied for Intel officer first, but the recruiter said that they didn't have anymore opening, therefore he suggested going for specialist, which I did. No final confirmation yet.
Basic Training Begins: Unknown

Updates: Went and wrote my CFAT today. I passed, but was informed that there were only two openings for both PAO and IO positions, and that the competition for those spots would be incredibly fierce. As a result, I've re-shuffled my choices (still aiming for the PAO position), and added in the ACSO trade as well.

Next step is waiting for my Medical and Interview, which will (hopefully) happen sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I'm not banking on a speedy process, though I don't have any foreign implications or anything else that would make me stick out as a security clearance problem. Quintessential Forces maneuver of "hurry up and wait," which means time for more PT, and improving my mental math skills.

I am for sure using it as prime PT time, I have greatly improved my cardio, and I had time to upgrade my schooling.

I hope I am not in for to much long of a wait, also I didn't have any foreign implications, no debts, no criminal record.... But I can almost bet they did a bit more digging into my history likely due to my last name.
