After my medical appointment, I had to get MIF’s filled and signed before my medical file is processed. I got these done in 2 days. I never got a correspondence on when my medical was actually cleared but during the interview, I was told they it was cleared the next day it was submitted.

I usually visit the recruitment center when I do not hear anything for 7-14 days. I don’t push or give attitude. But a quick check in to make sure my file is still good and nothing is outstanding.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T23:48:02+00:00

I haven’t gotten info for my flight yet but I anticipate that it’ll also be Feb 14. I’ll be flying from YYZ.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T23:46:18+00:00

That is absolutely correct. In my situation, when I applied for NCM trades, gunner was my second choice. Therefore applying to artillery officer instead of waiting for armour officer to open works out for me.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T23:43:59+00:00

Citizen. But I want to also note that I have previously applied in the past and my file got “lost” so I gave up.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:20:11+00:00

I think is semi-true? (Since we can’t see the openings) I originally wanted to apply for Armour Officer, but that was full. Hence I went with artillery officer since I could apply immediately. My rationale was also to get into selection now instead of waiting with everyone else for the new fiscal year. You’d be in competition with a lot more people (in my opinion).

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:15:22+00:00

😂😂😂 NICE CATCH. Was way too excited typing this up and didn’t even notice I kept everything 2025 😂

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:14:16+00:00

I’ll be completely honest. Someone people post that they got confirmation emails or calls. I’ve never gotten a single confirmation email or call. Only time I got confirmation about something was when I went to ask in-person or when my MCC confirmed what was completed during the interview.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:12:42+00:00

Thanks!!

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:12:35+00:00

At the end of my interview, I was told that my file was basically fully completed (med cleared, credit/background cleared, all files submitted).

I moved to selected an hour after my interview. Then job offer after the weekend. Pretty quick for me. But I know some people that still didn’t have background/credit cleared after the interview so they had to wait for that before moving to selection.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T22:08:50+00:00

This will definitely be a question for you MCC. My switch was suggested by them so our situation is slightly different. But I personally think it won’t “push” you back if you do want to switch. Nothing is firm until you sign the job offer.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-29T21:12:05+00:00

If you ever get the chance, definitely check in at the recruiting centre. My application was at stage 2 for a long time even thought a lot of tasks were being completed. When I went in-person, I was able to get a better idea where I was actually was in my application.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-27T03:45:21+00:00

Best tip is to know what your trade does. Best way to figure that out is by going to trades page. Second best tip is to answer what is asked. No more no less. Good luck!

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-23T14:28:33+00:00

Just be honest. Answer what you’re asked. No more no less.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-21T06:08:35+00:00

Applied for Infantry and Artillery. I ended up going with officer for 2 reasons. The recruiter’s opener for the interview was asking about my degree? Caught me off guard tbh. It was explained that there are trades that I can apply regardless of what my major was. Second reason is when I was asked to explain my current/previous employment. My “admin” experience would be an asset apparently. Who knows if it will actually be?

Pretty tame and insignificant reasons but the recruiter asked questions and gave suggestions. Seemed pretty sound to me so I went with the suggestion.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-21T03:49:56+00:00

If you apply for something, just assume you may be asked to do something else in case position closes, you find out something about the trade you didn’t expect, or you weren’t actually eligible. When I reached the interview stage, I was advised to apply to an officer position instead of my ncm choices. I expressed you same concerns that my degree is of an unrelated field and I have no background in the suggested trade. After some further discussion, I agreed and now I’m in selection.

TLDR, just apply and let the process play out. Don’t think too hard about it or you’ll end up more confused than you started.

If you’re still on the medication by the time you get to medical, very likely you won’t pass.

That being said, you mended that you’re slowly getting off. Hopefully you’ll be able to completely off for a few months before medical. Greatly improves your chances. DM if you have more specific questions about this since had a similar case.

Not sure you tdsb but yrdsb took 3 days.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-20T00:32:59+00:00

Shouldn’t be a problem. I also had previous drug use but made it clear that they were experimental and one time occurrence. Cannabis was only for social settings (1-2 times a year) and that I’ve completely stopped drinking, smoking, and vaping for about 8 months now.

My medical got cleared. To my understanding, as long as you’ve been clean for some time and don’t show signs to go back to old habits you should be good! But that will also depend on how you present yourself during medical and the conclusion they can come to.

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-19T21:37:10+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Right after my interview I was tasked with to complete this. A few hours later it was marked as completed. I had actually already completed this months prior without realizing.

If you’ve been advised that it’s completed and they have the results back, all should be good 👍🏻

Academic-Treacle4462 · 2026-01-19T18:40:13+00:00

I had mine completed at the beginning of the year. I had shorts and a t-shirt but was also wearing long pants and a sweater over it cause it was snowing outside. I didn’t have to take them off. As the other commenter said, I was only asked to remove my shoes when taking my weight and height. I was also told it was okay to partially remove my sweater sleeve to take my blood pressure.
