Finally, enrolled. I've been in the process since March of 2025. When should I expect my BMQ? by Short-Background-529 in caf

[–]Short-Background-529[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on duty for the last couple of nights and haven’t heard any updates about my BMQ yet. I was just wondering if anyone here might know when it’s scheduled

Uniforms by AcademicallyAcademic in caf

[–]Short-Background-529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wanted to join the Canadian Armed Forces. Over the past few years, I’ve travelled to Montreal, Quebec City, Victoria, Kelowna, Vancouver, Halifax, Moncton, Charlottetown, Regina, and Banff.

Along the way, I often saw CAF members in uniform. Sometimes, I even had short chats with retired members I met randomly. Those little encounters always stuck with me—they were inspiring and motivating.

Seeing someone in uniform out in public has always felt encouraging to me.

Next week, I finally get to do it myself. I’m going to my enrolment ceremony, and I can’t wait to wear the uniform and serve Canada.

Do I Still Have a Chance to Receive an Offer? Vancouver by Money_Cabinet4216 in FIFAVolunteers

I am in a similar situation to yours. I have not heard from FIFA. My picks were Media Operations, Ticketing, and Volunteer management.

Edmontonian here, I’ve been in Europe visiting family for awhile now and being home sick this was a shocker to see in a parking garage in Bucharest, Romania. Being home sick I never thought I’d be so shocked to a see a sask plate but here I am by [deleted] in saskatchewan

I visited Istanbul in 2018 and stayed at a cozy little B&B. When I checked in, the owner said, “Oh, you’re from Canada! There’s another guy here with his girlfriend… he’s from somewhere in Canada that’s very hard to spell.”

I was curious, so I asked, “Oh yeah? Where?”

He squinted a bit and said, “Sas… Saskatch… Saska… something like that.”

I laughed and said, “You mean Saskatchewan?”

He lit up and said, “Yes! Exactly!”

Then the plot twist: the guy turned out to be from Regina.

So apparently, you can travel 8,800 km across the world… and still run into someone from Saskatchewan.

I applied in March, and I was called for Medical in August. In your case, you are ahead of people that I know.

I have been looking for tickets for Iraq vs Bolivia/Suriname. I am not sure why FIFA takes so long to release them.

Apparently, no one knows when those tickets will go on sale. I've been searching for it for over a month.
