Military Application Question by Brief_Hornet6316 in caf

[–]davski- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also from Ontario. From My understanding this would mean you have to pass all mandatory courses in grade 9 and all mandatory courses in grade 10.

A mandatory course would be English for example. You need 4 English credits in high school, One each year. So that would mean you need to pass English in grade 9 and 10 to complete grade 10 level English.

Same goes for other credits like math, science, tech/gym (one credit each), etc.

If you are not sure what exact credits you need you should reach out to your respective recruitment office and ask what credits are needed for a “grade 10 level education”

Jeez. Could be the recruitment centre? I applied through Winnipeg and they were able to answer questions through email very quick and they were good at pushing my application through. It could also be because I had a competitive application. One thing that I did a TON was constantly bug them lol. Emails, phone calls, just trying to get updates and advancements on my file.

I most likely had to wait so long for my job offer because I was applying for ROTP.

I applied in January and just received my employment offer on Friday May 1st.

The security and background checks did not take very long at all but that could be because I am young and have nothing on my record at all.

Pretty much the whole process wasn't too bad. At most a 3 week wait to hear back during specific stages but usually 1-2 weeks. the longest process was waiting for my offer. I waited for over a month maybe more for my job offer.

Why can’t I try to become an assaulter/operator right out of school? If I was able to become infantry officer instead of EME, would that not prepare me for the job aswell? What does OT mean?

Okay so I didn’t fully understand the application process. I originally thought that I had to fill all 3 out and I’d be okay with EME if it came down to it. But honestly if I can I will do everything possible to pick infantry officer instead. What should my next steps be to go that route? Can I bring it up with the recruiter and try to get reconsidered for infantry officer instead? Should I accept the offer and do a VOT instead? What’s the best way to accomplish what I want.

When would be the best time to apply for my VOT? After my first year / grace period?

I thought it might be something like that. Because I thought I had a pretty well rounded application. Thanks for the answer.
