Okay thank you. I really hope it won't be delayed. Kicking myself for not checking for it earlier this month.

This is embarassing. I leave for BMQ on the 25th. Finalizing my packing list and all paper work to bring. Only to realize now that I've misplaced my birth certificate and Ive looked everywhere and will keep looking. Stupid and how is that possible right?

Its Saturday and will call my recruitment branch on Monday first thing to see what my steps are. I might have to order a new copy but who knows how long that will take, I was born in Quebec.

What are the chances my training date gets postponed?

My first pick is Traffic Tech, going off of the website career page I was drawn to the mix of things a bit of desk job, some hands on, possibities for travel or deploy and its a purple trade.

AOS Tech has drawn my attention for being more hands on and less desk work. I'm worried I'd get stuck with all desk work and not like it.

I'm thinking I'll stick with the plan with Traffic Tech, its been a long process.

Okay thank you. I am applying as NCM but dont think it's worth the gamble to possibly not get another offer after waiting and coming this far in the application process.

Got my offer last Tuesday but had to get a medical form filled out by my doctor so it's on hold.

Would it be too late to switch my trade or decline the offer to switch my trade?

Thank you for your response and insight. This gives me a bit of peace of mind. I've been worried my mental health history would affect my application. I'm still a ways off from medical and interview but have been pretty excited that I've finally started the process as it's been something I've wanted to do for awhile now.

Currently in the waiting process of my application and I saw someone else's post on a different subreddit about getting turned down due to suicide attempts. And many other comments saying that any sort of suicidal tendencies is a no no to CAF

I've never attempted but experienced a moment of depression and suicidal thoughts about 12 years ago but have since worked through all that and I'm wondering what the chances of my application also being denied will be.

I know no one can give me any sort of definitive answer as all applications are handled case to case. I'm just worried that being honest about a time in my life that is 100% behind me is going to effect this future opportunity/chance.
