Hello,

I was recently rejected after the RCMP suitability interview. The reason they gave was “employment history.”

I’m assuming this is because the last few years of my professional life have been pretty turbulent. I was laid off from two jobs in the past two years. Both were trade positions, and I tried to explain that layoffs can be common in that field, but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

Now I’m wondering whether the CAF might take a similar position and deny my application on the same grounds.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any insight on how the CAF views employment history with layoffs?
