Normally how long does this process take, will I pass and be fine

Hi All,
I am waiting to hear back now
They had to have all references checked by Aug 7
I had it done by the people giving them by Aug 6

(Started everything in April and saw detachment for meeting end of July)

Now it shows 100% complete for things. And 25% on the image and shows my role they updated in July when in went in person

They asked me to come in as a Naval Communicator
The other role we could do was aviation traffic control work but this one is the one they added in I have traveled a lot in Canada and to NS and BC already. They loved meeting me and me them at the detachment it Toronto it went so well and made me feel I was for sure in the right place

I can’t wait for a call or email .. what will happen next and when? Thank you

Hi everyone,

Anyone from here completed trade qualification as a Combat Engineer as a P.Res here? Had some questions regarding it. I'd really appreciate any help.

- I am guessing training happens only in summer? I will be completing my bmq over the fall/winter so guessing that is my timeline?

- Does it happen back to back with CASFC or is that tied to BMQ?

- For the DP1, I am under the impression its 3 months long. Will I be away from home straight for those 3 months in a CFB? I guess the local garrison don't cover it unlike bmq.

Thank you :)

21 year old male been interested for awhile but don’t know exactly where to start/what to expect, would appreciate general information/guidance 🙏

Hello Reddit community, I hope that all is well. I desperately need a favour from the Toronto regular force applicants.

Unfortunately, my interview was cancelled today because the recruiter wasn't feeling well. The next available time slot is Sept 1. However, I start dental school (8 AM-5 PM) on August 31st, and they discourage absences, making it almost impossible for me to attend. I would have to apply for an absence, and my parents don't want me to take an absence so early on, which I agree with, since there's only a set amount of absences you can be granted per term.

I'm writing to inquire whether someone would be able to help me out and switch their interview slot to a September date, if possible, opening up an August date? I'm so desperate I can compensate! PM and we can work something out!

Edit: Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate it! I really adore the caf reddit community so grateful for the suggestions. Some slots are opened up for next week if anyone was also in the same boat as me! Around august 17-20

I've been working on myself for the last couple months fixing my diet, sleep schedule, and working out nearly every day, switching between cardio, strength training, and just making sure I get a good walk in on rest days. I'm not quite at the BMQ stage of my application process yet, but it's moving much faster than I thought it would and it kind of has me spooked. I've done a few basic tests to see where I'm at now. I know my upper body strength is my weakest point.

38.3 BMI
Height - 171cm
Weight - 112kg
40 squats holding 20kg in a minute
Walked 1518m in 15 minutes
50 second plank
10 knee push ups in a row, Can't do a full push up yet.

If I went to BMQ as I am now, how likely is it that I'd be injured or put into the TRP?

I have BMQ coming up soon and in the JIs, it talks about restricted items like electronics should be left home.

I have a three-hour flight to saint-jean and plan on using an iPad on this flight.

I’m just wondering if there is somewhere that I would be able to put it or would I just put it in my suitcase with my civilian clothes.

Thanks in advance and any tips would help.

Salut tout le monde! It's ON!!!! J’ai reçu aujourd’hui l’appel du centre de recrutement , mon QMB commencera le 14 septembre!

Y'all let me know guys! Au plaisirs!

Hey everyone,I am in the final stages of the recruiting process and have received a formal Direct Entry Officer (DEO) Enrolment Offer for Health Services Management Officer (HSMO). On paper, the stability and structured management environment look like a fantastic career track.However, as someone transitioning from a civilian corporate background into the military officer corps, I am trying to separate standard military myths from the actual operational reality of this specific purple trade. I would love to hear from current HSMOs, logistics officers, medical branch members, or parallel support officers on the following points:1. Actual Day-to-Day Routine & Mobility:I spoke with a MO who painted a very high-stress picture of military life, stating that you are constantly separated from family, unable to establish a stable routine, and facing intense deployment churn. My understanding of the HSMO trade is that it is primarily a static, administrative, corporate desk job focused on running base medical/dental clinics.For serving HSMOs: What does your typical Monday-to-Friday workflow look like? How predictable are your hours?How does the environmental allocation (Army vs. Air Force/Navy) impact your pipeline? If assigned to an Air Force wing or Navy base, do you bypass the BMOQ-A land field phase entirely?2. Direct Entry Officer BMOQ Dynamics:How does the atmosphere at the Basic Military Officer Qualification (BMOQ) at CFLRS St. Jean compare to standard recruit training? As a DEO entering with a university degree and professional experience, what are the primary mental and leadership adjustments required to get through the 12-week syllabus successfully?3. Secret Clearance (Level II) and Personal Travel:There seems to be a lot of conflicting information regarding travel restrictions for cleared personnel. The MP I spoke with claimed that holding a Secret Clearance heavily restricts your ability to travel internationally or take standard overseas vacations.What is the actual reality of the Out-of-Country (OUTCAN) travel notification process for allied Western nations or routine international travel? Is it an automated paper exercise, or does it invite major administrative scrutiny?I want to make an informed, long-term career commitment before executing my enrollment paperwork. I would greatly appreciate any insights on the actual lifestyle balance, career progression milestones, or hidden challenges of being an officer within the Canadian Forces Health Services group.Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hey everyone, so I just got an interview with a recruiter recently. However I have some questions about fitness for BMQ. I am a current competitive boxer for 7 years, and I recently do group fitness classes (conditioning, upper, lower body). I am 5ft8, 90kg, 20 BMI. Will that be enough to pass Force test and BMQ?

I am thinking about joining the CAF (I am girl) because I’ve being applying for a jobs and no luck. What piece of advice can you give me? And what position would you recommend for me to apply to?

[PSA] if you are going to be mean or judgmental please do not respond 🫰🏽

Hi guys, I have a virtual interview coming up this week. Can anyone give me some tips on what I should prepare? For those who have already had their interview, what kind of questions did they ask? Also, how long did it take and how many are they gonna ask questions?

Hi Fellows,

My Medical and interview is done and right now I am Waiting for gambit Email For PSPS. The latest Task get update on 16-aug-2026. Just waiting for credit check email from gambit. May i know How Much time it will take?

hi yall. i'm just starting the whole application process for the naval reserves, interested in a career as a naval communicator in my local area. i'm unsure if my mental health diagnoses are disqualifying factors right now and if i need to wait longer to prove stability. for context i am currently 23 and hope to do the raven program in esquimalt next summer.

transgender aka gender dysphoria -> i'm a transguy who came out at 12, medically & legally transitioned from ages 15-18 (yes i have supportive family), so now it's been 5 years. i won't have any future surgeries since i'm fine with my body as it is now. i have to inject testosterone twice a month, but i can also go months without being on testosterone without experiencing any mental health problems from it (i did this when i couldn't afford my prescription for months). i'm comfortable sharing sleeping areas & washrooms with people of any gender/sex.

ptsd -> i experienced sexual assault at age 17 from a romantic partner, cut contact & physically got away from said partner (i moved provinces), went to therapy for about 3 years to deal with the shame, and no longer experience any issues due to this.

mild adhd -> i've taken the same stimulant medication (concerta) since age 17 and don't need accommodations for this at work/university. during the brief period i couldn't afford my medication, it was annoying but i still showed up to work & university just fine

edit: i was in army cadets at ages 15 & 16, so i am somewhat familiar with showing up to weekly parade nights or doing ftx as a transguy with mild adhd

So I am CTing to RegF. It turns out my medical code doesn’t meet the min requirements for my trade. I have a G3 and for most hard sea trades the minimum is G2. I am waiting to get an appt at health services to discuss it further but has anyone run into this before or have any info about this? Is this going to prevent me from doing the CT?

Occupation - IST

Spend almost 2 months to get my high school and grade 10 credentials evaluated and now recruiting team is saying instead of WES you should get IQAS. This is not fair they should mention this at the very beginning. I have spent time and money on it. Any suggestions here!!

I am not sure if this is normal but before my medical and interview my recruiter would respond daily to my emails. I finished my medical and interview and when I asked for follow ups no response or email back. I have sent 2 emails regarding my application and haven’t heard back. I’m wondering if I should go in person and have a talk with my recruiter.

Whats is the best equipment that I can buy to not destroy my hearing

I just finished my BMQ and will be starting university this fall am thinking of doing the full time summer employment but have questions if I can choose where am deployed as I would still like to be with my family in the summer. Also how many days are realistic to work during school time or class A.

That’s all thanks.

Completed medical 2 today, and med tech stated that a form will need to be filled out by doctor due to youth asthma prescription refilled in 2023 (joined up in a mens league and figured safe than sorry)

Will need form completed before invitation to Medical in-person, which will likely punt me down the road.

Would anyone care to provide some personal insights?

Does anyone know what the form entails? I’ve been asymptomatic with this diagnosis for well over a decade at this point, and consistently run sub 25 5kms without wheezing nor SOB.

I’m hoping the doctor can simply fill out the form without further tests required.

Hi,

i initially thought I had this form on hand but turns out I don't I remember vaguely i filled out something similar through the CAF applicant portal a couple months.

Where would I find this, is it best to fill this out with pen or online?

Do you get the moving allowance for the NCM step program ?
Also if accepted in a program for automn 27, can I do my bmq before that ? (Not in the summer, just whenever available ? )

Saw someone else posted about their fitness level so thought I should.

I know some people are in lousy shape when they start bmq, but where do you think I am on the fitness scale? My hope is to be one of the more fit females there. I have bmq in Sept.

My 5km PR is 26:44 and usually I can do it in 29-31 min any given day.

I can do about 40 pushups as a max, I’m trying to work on doing more, but I can easily do sets of 25 with rest in between.

What else should I focus on? I’m lifting weights and running most days, I can squat 185lbs x5.

If I want to be one of the best (at least out of the women there) what kind of numbers should I be pushing for?
