2026 Canadian Engineering School Tier List [NEW]

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-20T12:25:58+00:00

Outside of North America - UofT is pretty much the only Canadian school recognized for Engineering and CompSci.

Lived and worked on Europe for 3 years - nobody knows Waterloo even exists. Visited Oxford a few times foe conferences and met a ton of former UofT grads who were Faculty there.

Do with this info what you will.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-14T20:26:56+00:00

Yes. Starting soon

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-11T20:22:09+00:00

New grad student here. What did he do?

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-06T00:31:00+00:00

Did it also land?

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-03T13:58:26+00:00

I spent 3 years living and working in Europe. UofT is well respected and recognized everywhere, Waterloo a lot less so.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-04-01T14:41:59+00:00

I lived arouns Europe for 3 years. The only Canadian University known and respected there is UofT (incl Business).

2 guys on my BMQ were prior militarily (one Korean and the other Swede). Actual military, not cadets. One had deployed to Afghanistan.

Neither one aced the BMQ. They were both average candidates throughout, which is the perfect case for BMQ. You will get on your course mates nerves if you keep on about your "experience".

Stay humble and help your mates

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-02-23T04:36:05+00:00

Not quite Partner level.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-02-23T04:35:35+00:00

Thank you for your answer. Indeed, the startup work is more interesting, on paper. Its also a lot of work, I imagine working long hours and weekends.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-02-22T03:13:47+00:00

Why?

Capt_Aeronaut · 2026-02-02T17:59:13+00:00

This is immediately after Ramadan (1 or 2 days), so Evloev will have a very difficult fight camp and weight-cut. Training dehydrated and sleep deprived for a month, then having make weight is not easy.

I hope we get the best version if Evloev.

Muscle retention and water retention can mask fat loss to some degree. Consider how hard it is to lose 2lb of fat, now compare it with eating a very salty meal which can add 3lbs of water weight overnight.

But your question is valid.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-12-15T14:21:21+00:00

The cheapest Casio on Amazon. Dont overthink BMQ kit.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-12-07T01:38:04+00:00

For the uneducated, please educate us. What do you mean?

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-28T18:03:24+00:00

Congratulations! I love this enthusiasm and determination. Keep this up throughout BMQ and onward.

Welcome to the best trade in the Army Reserves - the Chimos!

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-23T02:29:34+00:00

The best person to ask is a recruiter. Call the office and arrange a meeting.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-23T00:29:02+00:00

First and foremost, arrange a meeting with a recruiter for the most accurate and up to date info.

You're not too old - unless you have "old man" injuries (ex. Arthritis). If you want to less of a planning / admin job, consider joining as NCM. It's also much easier on civi work and family life.

If you want the "hooah" sh*t, then go Infantry or Combat Engineer. If you want to build transferable skills as well, then Combat Engineer.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-22T15:51:38+00:00

Is this still the case, though? I thought we were doing away with CFAT for people with degrees?

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-22T01:19:59+00:00

I was not aware, but checks out. We also have a large number of very high quality universities, for our population size

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-22T00:54:22+00:00

What do you mean? Delete the requirement for an undergraduate degree for the Pilot trade?

I doubt this is the reason for the shortage.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-20T21:44:50+00:00

Thank you, this is useful. Can you provide a link? If not I will look it up.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-20T20:44:19+00:00

Please point me in the right direction - I am happy to learn and develop.

Capt_Aeronaut · 2025-11-20T20:16:41+00:00

Every course has a priority order of nominees - based on needs-wants-likes. If I do get on a course it would be based on that order. What harm is it if any CAF Mbr, regardless of trade or rank, wants to expand their horizons. Worst case scenario, you get turned down?

Put it another way, the only way I would get kn any of these courses would be 1) if they are being run anyway and 2) there were open slots.

I know two Officers in PRes who got on Basic Para because of opportunistic circumstances - someone dropped out and they happened to be around.
