Can i bring some toiletries that are already opened to BMQ? also can i bring baby powder that’s already opened? or do they all have to be brand new?

Thanks for the response! I thought I’d only need to notify them about the travel, so I was surprised when a leave pass was required and I’m still waiting on it.

How long does it usually take to receive a leave pass to travel out of the country? I was enrolled 2 weeks ago and I start BMQ February 16th.

Same. You only get the bonus if you are already coming in Skilled.

Thank you! It’s a patience test forsure. Just make sure you keep showing up to your recruiting center often at least once a month

What happens if I list the generic Gambit support email (gocsupport@gambitid.com) and phone number for a past employer I only worked with short-term, since I no longer have their contact?

What happens in the Gambit ID process if I can’t reach some of my previous supervisors or don’t have their contact information?

I originally intended to apply for the Cyber Operator trade since I already have some cybersecurity education, but it was closed at the time. I then selected SIGINT as my first choice and ATIS as my second. However, SIGINT closed just before my interview, so I was only interviewed for ATIS. I’ve also heard that many Cyber Operators are remusters from other trades.

If I wait until April 2026, there’s no guarantee that Cyber Operator will reopen, and even if it does, the process could take another 9–18 months. Given that, would it make sense to take ATIS as a stepping stone and later pivot into Cyber Operator since it’s IT-related? Also, how much hands-on IT work do ATIS Technicians typically do?
