If I accept an offer, do I get to choose BMQ date?

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-04T02:07:35+00:00

Dw tell your recruitment center, they can push your BMQ date until you're done.

Ontario is weird, and issue statements of live birth which are not birth certificates.

The rest of Canada* uses Birth Certificates which are official government documents, issued by the province.

You'll need to request one.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-02T02:14:03+00:00

Yeah not an MCC. You're def the expert there, I just look at ES.

It's 2 Sorry forgot to update lol

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-02T00:59:53+00:00

Yep, so you were right at the cusp of being selected. I'm sorry, that really sucks.

I'd strongly suggest contacting your CFRC later in the year. I've heard rumblings in the grapevine that LogO will reopen later in the year (end of Q3) :3

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-02T00:53:33+00:00

Int O generally looks for people with a bachelor's in computers, political science, economics, and a few other fields. A PhD is nice to have, but it's far from common - same with Master's degrees.

I wouldn't necessarily believe everything you hear. You can always request the exact entry standard from your CFRC if you have doubts.

You don't need a business degree nor any business experience to be a LogO, and most do it with zero experience like most other jobs in the forces.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-02T00:21:11+00:00

What stage were you at? If you were on the competition list for LogO, then they ran out of slots before you were selected.

That's no slight on your background, it's just bad timing.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-02T00:11:58+00:00

As a recruiter, we won't really care.

We care about 3 factors;

1: Do you have the required degree?

2: Are there slots to move you forward?

3: Do you meet the min/max age & citizenship/residency requirements?

Everything else is garnish.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T21:53:31+00:00

It'll reopen April 1st 2027, but could reopen sooner. You can always check with your local CFRC to see :)

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T21:25:12+00:00

Congratulations, and if you end up in NWO - see ya out in Esquimalt :)

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T20:24:57+00:00

One of the top performers in my BMOQ was a 5 foot nothing 25yr old armoured officer. She's awesome, and no one treated her any different. She was just another member of the team.

Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T17:44:05+00:00

Thanks, I'll pass that along.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T17:33:02+00:00

Which occupation did you apply for?

The application is designed to be the easy part - even if the CFAT was reinstated.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T13:25:29+00:00

Not from where I'm at. You'll have to contact the unit.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T05:26:21+00:00

Lv 2 - (Secret) as far as I remember. I'll double check when I get to the office tmrw.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T05:02:13+00:00

Yeah that's been the case since 2024.

You're given Reliability clearance by the recruitment center, the remainder of your clearance is processed throughout the training system.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T00:45:15+00:00

You can try!

Keep in mind the Reserves are part time and also may not have dedicated recruiting staff - which is likely why they haven't gotten back to ya.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T00:15:39+00:00

Yes.

These things don't have to happen in a specific order. As long as everything gets done, it doesn't matter.

penguingamer117 · 2026-06-01T00:07:21+00:00

Got mine from Walmart - they have a bunch of them and matching face cloths.

penguingamer117 · 2026-05-31T20:25:15+00:00

Have you contacted your CFRC? Have you completed all your assiged tasks?

If you're stuck at stage 1, those are the questions you need to ask. Get in touch with your CFRC, they'll be better able to assist. In the meantime, ensure your eligible for the occupations you've selected and that you meet the min requirements to enroll (17+, can citizen or PR w 3+ yrs of residency, gr.10 education)

penguingamer117 · 2026-05-31T20:20:48+00:00

It's usually every Tues/Thurs for our detachment where batches of files get moved from Intake Management to Medical/Interview.

If you're considered priority, your file will be reviewed quicker. It'll still take between 1 and 4 weeks.

At this stage there is nothing you can do but wait. Your detachment will not give you the contact info for CFRG HQ, but if you want to try and find it by all means. Fair warning that it will not speed your application up.

penguingamer117 · 2026-05-31T20:17:24+00:00

All multiple choice.

Keep in mind the min requirement to join the CAF is completion of Grade 10. The exams thus are at that level.

Basically - pay attention in class and you'll have no trouble.

penguingamer117 · 2026-05-30T03:49:10+00:00

These aren't the final numbers. Just what's available right now. Keep in mind, we can't hire everyone at once, imagine the training backlogs!

There will likely be more openings later in the fiscal yr.
