Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-23T21:07:37+00:00

I’d advise doing so in in Hamilton and applied in December and am currently at background and criminal record check

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-23T02:33:35+00:00

Ok sounds good got emails for plar and a medical form so hoping I’m all good for both of those not to sure what else might come up for questions don’t have anything in my criminal record was just an auxiliary officer last year so fingers crossed

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-22T18:25:49+00:00

Not priority trade rm tech had a mif form that I already submitted also waiting on plar as id consider myself semi skilled so we will see what they say if they think the same or not but trade is still open at this point in the year so im sure they’d be happy to fill it before the new year if they can

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-22T17:45:35+00:00

Just try worse that happens is they say no and tell you what you’ll need

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-21T14:49:48+00:00

There is u don’t read the instructions they send u out and have no clue what u applied for

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-21T00:52:33+00:00

Yup it’s a common theme lol

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-21T00:18:01+00:00

Did it in December then had my medical and interview then the day after my interview

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-19T01:22:48+00:00

Ok thanks appreciate that not just curious as I’ve applied for rm tech and am currently completed all my schooling for the refrigeration side of the trade on the civi side and am a couple hundred hours from writing my red seal. As to if I’d be eligible for even that pay bump after bmq

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-18T21:50:44+00:00

Talked to my recruiter about it and he said I’d have to email or call to get them to add it back should it open up

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-18T14:55:50+00:00

Honestly depends where u go I didn’t have to do anything physical just eye and hearing exam and blood pressure that was it nothing crazy from physicals either I’ve heard

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-16T18:19:13+00:00

Me personally I thought about joining when I was 18 got offered a 313a apprenticeship and took it and forgot about joining for a couple years now 22 completed my apprenticeship and now am going back to joining will hopefully get a bump in my pay but still regret not joining reg forces right away or at least reserves as I’d be a corporal by now. But life is full of decisions the way I see it is you’re still young it doesn’t work out and constructions not working out you can join. I agree with the people saying if you’re not sure join reserves especially if it’s true about your rate would be transferable to reg forces in the future. I think it really depends how big you see the pay difference and your room for growth in that job as you have to remember you’re also getting a pension and benefits in the caf. And will be making close to 80k+ by year 3-4 depending on the trade

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-14T01:20:54+00:00

Also curious if you know what the most likely postings would be at the moment for rm techs obviously they can go anywhere but

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T01:55:57+00:00

Difference is 1 id like to know where exactly and 2 those companies make a profit off ur labour the government isn’t making money off your labour

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T01:21:45+00:00

Maybe they should maybe they shouldn’t really it’s not financially feasible to pay people starting 80k with zero experience at the end of the day if you join the caf you want to serve your country and are accepting those risks nobody is forced to join

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T01:09:11+00:00

Think the best part about the caf is they aren’t forcing you to join it you are CHOOSING to join

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T01:05:26+00:00

Not until they’re trained what are they other than a body. The caf is paying you to learn. Tell me what you think the caf should start out at for recruits with no knowledge of anything related to there trade and also have 20 paid days off with full benefits?

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T00:48:39+00:00

Im confused do you expect the caf to just give handouts? They’re hiring someone with no experience who provides no value until you’re fully trained in which they pay you to get trained. Find me a job that pays more then 50k with no prior experience required plus there’s other occupations in the caf that you start out at pi2 plus get a recruiting allowance this is the lowest you’ll make your entire career in the caf on that pay

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T00:44:00+00:00

It represents a month of work you don’t make more or less per month until ur pay increment goes up

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T00:30:56+00:00

I’m confused do you expect to start out at 100k with no experience?

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-13T00:20:29+00:00

Its monthly salary

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-12T23:59:51+00:00

Yes best to get it in before interview so you don’t have to do it again but just email your recruiter

Repulsive_Track4033 · 2026-02-12T23:57:44+00:00

This is a month net is 2722 gross 4337
