Honestly, we are so short staffed. To succeed you need to do 3 things: 1. Apply 2. Not have murdered anyone 3. Don't have a swastika tattooed on your face.
Well, you would think that would be the case, but that’s not true. I remember stopping by a recruiting office in Esquimalt about 25 yrs ago, as my post secondary aspirations had not worked out as I had hoped… figured service would give me a base from which to succeed in the civilian world… I didn’t realize that nobody actually staffs recruitment centres, and there were nothing but locked doors and no representatives….so I called number to make appointment to see a recruiter, and when I showed for appointment, nobody was there to meet me….no call back,nobody saying sorry we missed appointment, would you like to reschedule. Thank you caf recruitment staff….you really helped me dodge a bullet on that one… if I had joined I would never have got the opportunity to get my red seal journeyman ticket in refrigeration/hvac or start my own business, which I still operate to this day. Sometimes a closed door is a blessing, as I realize they would have dumped me in some shit hole third world country, and then told me my injuries were not service related.
I began my application around Jan/Feb, however the process had to be put on hold while I was on a 4 month waiting list to get a family doctor. I got my family doctor in July and now next month I will be leaving to begin Basic Training. I'm very excited because this has been my lifelong dream ever since I was like 4 years old. It feels kind of unreal that I'm this close to achieving everything I've ever dreamed of update: coming back after christmas into week 5 of BMQ, its been a journey so far but i loved every bit of it
@@adrianprincipe2370 in my case yes because i smoke weed so that required me to get some additional paperwork signed by a family doctor, but i'm not sure if everyone would need to do something like that
It is just an IQ test with some fraction based math. KNOW BEDMAS and how to multiply as well as divide fractions. I scored 52 on the practice test first shot but I also ace IQ tests. Do not worry about the FCAT test it is there to help figure out what is the right path for you and over preparing for it is not really required. Just ensure you have basic arithmetic down. Currently the armed forces is in dire need of recruits so it is the time to apply.
@@demonart301same here! I just applied in CAF for pilot occupation. How about you? Did you apply and if yes then at what stage is your application process?
The application should not take more than 1-2 months. The fact that it's taking people 6+ months, even when they pass everything and have good status, is absurd. The Canadian Forces need to get it together. They are bleeding people left and right. 1 in 10 jobs is vacant, yet their recruiting process is disastrously bad.
This doesn't need to take more than a month. 6 months is an absurd amount of time for anyone to wait.. ive been waiting for 12 months now (havent missed or failed a single apointment.) Im discouraged from serving by everyone who is currently enlisted and even my recruiter doesnt seem to give a shit. Thats my introduction to the CAF.
Went down to the recruiting office during March break in 1985. I was in grade 12 and 17 years old. By September of 1985 I was in Cornwallis taking my basic. Everyone I joined served with had similar experiences. I have heard that it could take up to 2 years now to go through the recruitment process now. Maybe this is why the numbers are down now.
I am 21 years old permident resident from South Africa , im scared It will take 2 years to get accepted because im a permident resident, I have been living in Canada more than 5 years now , im tryna join infantry , im gonna apply soon , wish me luck

I am working on yer 3.5 almost 4 years in the recruiting process. And this is for Cadet Instructor Cadre. I hate to see what it would be going PRes or Regs.
CAF recruitment is awful. I understand that our military is small but the lack of effort put in by recruiters is shocking. I had to wait 2 years just to be told that maybe they would have a spot for me at the end of the year. And that all of my paper was expired.
I just finished my CFAT on the 11th of Oct. I’m applying for Cyber Operator. I’m very excited and really trying to get things together for the recruiters, as I know it takes time to get through to next steps. For me personally; Applied online late August Book for CFAT on Oct 11th, by end of August. Study math for 1 month Take CFAT Oct 11th Awaiting medical appt email, and ensuring proper email contacts for the recruiting team to screen me. Then interview sometime after that (optional online interview) Afterwards I’m not sure how fast I go to basic. Excited nonetheless, 25 years old, 2.5 months since I started the process.
Hello! Im also interested in becoming a cyber operator as well! I haven't gone through my CFAT yet or any process but I do plan on applying really soon. I just wanted to ask how the interview went? Did they ask you technical questions relating to cyber? Did you find the interview challenging? Any tips for a someone who hasn't gone through it yet, i'm just nervous about what they COULD ask me. Thanks so much if you can!
@Concrete1998 @joe-xv1gz I'm interested in the Cybersecurity Operator. I'm currently undertaking the course in a college though I have a degree and certifications in (Security +, CISA ,CISM , CRISC) Must I take the CFAT test? I'm a PR holder and over 40yrs ? What are my chances?
I applied at the same time as my friend we both filled out the paperwork at the same time, both did the CFAT test on the same day (the recruiting centre is an hour away from us so we commuted together) but when it came to the screening process my friend already got an email back and I’m still waiting and have been waiting for a long time. It’s getting really depressing anyone have any advice?
Please keep up the good work you two. This is a key element missing in the recruiting field for our loved country, First hand advertisement from members.
I've applied on jan. last year and went through all the test and fitness test and had basic interview in October, recruiter mentioned that there will be final interview and am still waiting, anyone know how long they're going to take? 😅
Have money, it's expensive to join our military. As the mother of a now serving member our son couldn't have done it on his own there is a lot unexpected expenses starting with your kit for basic, items not needed but had to be purchased, making sure your basic kit is all the same color ei your sweat pants, shorts, shirts the expenses add up. Even something as simple as getting an item tailored is rediculous, huge backlogs, every base should have a tailoring room that members can access that have an inexpensive sewing machine, threads, a variety of uniform button's, laces for boots, such simple stuff that is a huge extra expense.
Why tho? We are down 16% with 1 out of every 10th job or so not filled leaving us combat ineffective by the US doctrine which we should be closely following no? Hardly any ships, fuck all for air power, shit logistics. Over all a hack ass so called army lol. It shouldnt be expensive for us to join if they want and neeeeed people so bad
they actually advance you 300$ from your first paycheck to purchase the required items to maintain your cleanliness and kit(mainly boots). Atleast thats what happed for my platoon while in st jean. if thats now the case... it wouldnt surprise me
Seriously? I thought that you purchase those items out of your first paycheck when you get to basic. Can someone confirm whether or not this has changed? I haven't started my application process but I'd like to get these surprises out of the way before I get started.
This is first step in my country for armed forces . Candidates who complete the 1.6 km race in 5 minutes 30 seconds (Excellent Time). They are awarded 60 points for their excellence. On the other hand, 48 marks are given to youngsters who complete the race from 5 minutes 31 seconds to 5 minutes 45 seconds. Also, those who complete the race after 5 minutes 45 seconds are considered to have failed.
I currently work as a IT/Data Analyst, I planned joining the Royal Canadian Airforce as an Aerospace and Telecommunications Systems Technician or an Information Systems Technician. 1. How long does does training take after the BMQ ?
I applied recently and am worried about the CFAT test I have been out of school for like 5 years and only made it to grade 11 do you have any advice or resources for learning the subjects that would be on it and help would be greatly appreciated
I was in the same situation. Just brush up on general math, practice spatial ability questions and look up a ton of synonyms & antonyms. I don’t consider myself to be very smart, and was worried how I would do. With my score I was eligible for all of the trades I wanted. You’ll do fine with a little studying.
Does Anyone have a general timeframe on processing stages for the application process? I'm planning my move right now to enlist into the CAF as a US Army Veteran as well as submitting for my Perm. Res. I would like to have an ideal plan of action time line but couldnt find anything to go off of.
I applied to a in demand job and my educational background will be a good fit for the careers I picked. I am currently in the pre-screening phase how long can I hope to wait before I hear back for an interview or a medical. I was told I should hear back in 2 weeks it’s been a month now
😢 I start my application 15 months already. And nothing changes. Security check not done. Process can take from 18 months. 😮No way a lot applicants will wait so long.
You will be given opportunity to try to get fit and try again in few weeks or so. As we were told during my own force test, it sems there is no limit to the number of times you can try that. Only the aptitude test is a twice in a life time opportunity.
The travel history is a bit tricky. I’ve travelled to 20 countries on at least 40 trips in the last 5 years, how are we supposed to remember exact dates.
I just finished my interview, I was told I didn't have enough experience even though the occupation I chose said only a gr. 10....I'm pretty discouraged about continuing the process....
Hello Kyra, Great videos! love the content. what happens if there is no opening in your preferred occupation? Will you be drafted to where there is need or just wait until an opening occurs?
Hi, I have my in-person interview soon. do you have any video on tips for preparing for the in-person interview? Or what are some of the questions expected in the interview / interview format and so on?... It would be of great help. thanks ...
@@Jlemons28 I can’t tell you about the questions or really anything about the interview, unfortunately. However, I can tell you this, DON’T STRESS. It’ll be fine, trust me. Just be confident in yourself and possibly most importantly, no matter what, be honest. Good luck, I wish you the best and I’m sorry that I can’t give you more insight on how to prepare for the interview.
How long were you two waiting before you were given your interview dates? I'm planning my move right now to enlist into the CAF as a US Army Veteran as well as submitting for my Perm. Res. I would like to have an ideal plan of action time line but can't find much information to go off of other then what they said in the video.
@@Chi-Sama it was pretty immediate. I think it was within a couple weeks the interview had been scheduled and within a month the interview had been completed.
I failed CFAT 2 times and I don’t want to take another CFAT for the third time. I won’t be able to bypass😭 my absolute weakness is CFAT. All i want is to be a navy Cook and be part of the military. Why can’t I just bypass and do my best in the basic training, but I am still interested, eager to be in military even I failed many times😭 I may not smart in academic but I assure you that I am a hard working and dedicated in my work. Please help me out😭 I am desperate!!!
The caf is now offering jobs that don't require the CFAT. I would say call your recruiter up and ask if that trade is one of them and if so how can you proceed.
Yeah people get bottlenecked on the security clearance part. It normally depends on which recruitment center you are in. For example Quebec would book you for cfat,medical and interview then do the clearance while they wait for your spot. But for toronto since its a bit crowded here they are getting a lot of bottlenecks.
Hy there tremendous work firstly and i wanted to ask that after interview is there any sort of merit list CAF prepare for the selection criteria. I mean i am asking just to clear that from which step a candidate should keep hope of getting selected 😇
Hi there ive been thinking of applying for the military and I was wondering what is the usual time it takes to get in the military for fulltime and for reserves forces? Thank you
They take a while... 6 months if your lucky 18months plus if you're unlucky. For example mine got lost on the mail so I had to start from scratch last June. Keep in mined I gave them my stuff last year January.
Some people are saying that they waited two years just to receive a "maybe" from their recruiter. These stories aren't all lining up, unless they've gotten really desperate just in the last two years which I guess wouldn't surprise me. I know they haven't been doing well in terms of numbers.
Call your recruiter for sure. From what I understand they will close your reserve application, and open you a new one. Please correct me if I'm wrong, strangers of the internet!
Hey I’m tryna join Canadian Army I am a 21 year old permident resident from South Africa I have been living in Canada more than 5 years , i am scared it’s gonna take 2 years to get recruited because im a permident resident. Anyone have advice for when I apply ?
Succeeding In the CAF at this point is like succeeding in a beauty contest and the only fucking entry, was you. And the people often left who still enlist, are arrogant and entitled for it, not proud and honourable. If I have to give you a truck and lower the standards to do the thing, I don’t put a lot of stock in you to get the job done when push comes to shove.
@@ouricenechaoua2870I hope it went well! I have mine in a few days! Do they ask any sort of trick questions or anything? Or is there anything that I should know about in regards of what they would be asking me?
@@AvinashSingh-md8ix Well I did my interview and it went very well. But it was to become an officier. So they ask a lot of questions about your positions in the military and a lot about your civilian background. Other than that, I believe it’ll be easier if you go in as an enlisted member. Good luck friend.
I did my CFAT, excellent medical interview, they wanted background from doctor etc and i was hit with a "did not meet requirement due to medical reasons" im wondering if its due to my medication
Yes. This my opinion on medical. Do not disclose that you have a medical condition unless it is obvious. Keep it to yourself never tell them anything. If you do will not get in.
@@JustAnotherNuurrdd Yes you can! I would know. I have fought 2.5 years to appeal a medical issue that no longer affects me. If I didn't say anything in the first place, I would have been serving. You don't give permission to CAF to do anything when it comes to your files, they do whatever they wait. The purpose for the medical interview is to clear the CAF for any lawsuits that may arise from you being "sick" and also in their words " unfit for service".
@@3nkrypted and you need too, you need to be employable abd deployable. You lie about medications, etc, they send you out, you run out, what are you supposed to do when the CANEX, city your in etc doesnt have your meds and the military doesnt know you take them in the first place? Thats how you get a dishonorable lmao they dont need to be liable for someones bullshit, the military is a job, not a daycare.
You first have to be in the military. The CAF doesn’t have direct entry to special forces from the public (like they do in the U.S. for example). Then you get nominated for Selection.
Just stay on top of it. thats what I've been doing. any time you have a question or are unsure of something. ask them. Im waiting on my contract offer (if they choose me for this year as a student) Its just super tedious.@@Thatflyingpilipino
I'm considering joining the Caf for a military cook... I've got college done and all just need to get in shape and learn how to swim.. How many months would it take from the start of enlistment to the start of basic training?

How long were you two waiting before you were given your interview dates? I'm planning my move right now to enlist into the CAF as a US Army Veteran as well as submitting for my Perm. Res.
I would like to have an ideal plan of action time line but can't find much information to go off of other then what they said in the video.
@@Chi-Sama it was pretty immediate. I think it was within a couple weeks the interview had been scheduled and within a month the interview had been completed.
I’m a permanent resident in canada but idk if i am gonna past this

Hi. Where is the information about recruiter
I failed CFAT 2 times and I don’t want to take another CFAT for the third time. I won’t be able to bypass😭 my absolute weakness is CFAT. All i want is to be a navy Cook and be part of the military. Why can’t I just bypass and do my best in the basic training, but I am still interested, eager to be in military even I failed many times😭 I may not smart in academic but I assure you that I am a hard working and dedicated in my work. Please help me out😭 I am desperate!!!
The caf is now offering jobs that don't require the CFAT. I would say call your recruiter up and ask if that trade is one of them and if so how can you proceed.
I need help with his
I'm 16 and I want to join the army when I'm done high school. when should I send my application?
As early as you can. It can take a while. I started my application in January, and I'm just about to do my interview.
Please tell me it’s not going to take a year or more to get into infantry everything I’m reading is making me feel really discouraged
Yeah people get bottlenecked on the security clearance part. It normally depends on which recruitment center you are in. For example Quebec would book you for cfat,medical and interview then do the clearance while they wait for your spot. But for toronto since its a bit crowded here they are getting a lot of bottlenecks.
I have a tip dont do it
Hy there tremendous work firstly and i wanted to ask that after interview is there any sort of merit list CAF prepare for the selection criteria. I mean i am asking just to clear that from which step a candidate should keep hope of getting selected 😇
Hi there ive been thinking of applying for the military and I was wondering what is the usual time it takes to get in the military for fulltime and for reserves forces? Thank you
Anyone know how long the wait for security screening is ?
They take a while... 6 months if your lucky 18months plus if you're unlucky. For example mine got lost on the mail so I had to start from scratch last June. Keep in mined I gave them my stuff last year January.
What about if you have any debt?
as long as you dont have major debt like bankruptcy... or money in collections you are fine.
@@120bank8Not what I heard, supposedly a bad credit score can get you rejected.
lol…..why?
Just have a pulse. Jesus. They’ll take anyone now.
Some people are saying that they waited two years just to receive a "maybe" from their recruiter. These stories aren't all lining up, unless they've gotten really desperate just in the last two years which I guess wouldn't surprise me. I know they haven't been doing well in terms of numbers.
Hi !! You think you can talk a little bit about the ROTP program and how to apply 💓
Please can I join from Ghana
No, you need to be Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
I am 40 years i need join canadian forces and citisen ship
Maybe get better at English first
I’m American but I want to join the CAF any tips?
move to canada
can we still change from reserve to regular force in the middle of application process or is it too late?
Call your recruiter for sure.
From what I understand they will close your reserve application, and open you a new one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, strangers of the internet!
I just applied but I can’t help but feel hopeless that I won’t be accepted even though joining the military has been my dream for my whole life
Head off to BMQ in a week 👊😎
noice
Do we have to go for the physical test even for the post of the signals officer/ Aerospace Control operator??
Yes
Hey I’m tryna join Canadian Army I am a 21 year old permident resident from South Africa I have been living in Canada more than 5 years , i am scared it’s gonna take 2 years to get recruited because im a permident resident. Anyone have advice for when I apply ?
The application process nowadays is very different from years before they are doing things pretty fast and u don’t have to more than a year to get in

Succeeding In the CAF at this point is like succeeding in a beauty contest and the only fucking entry, was you. And the people often left who still enlist, are arrogant and entitled for it, not proud and honourable. If I have to give you a truck and lower the standards to do the thing, I don’t put a lot of stock in you to get the job done when push comes to shove.
can you please explain about interview
They ask very simple questions don’t stress!
@@KyraNankivell really thankyou
@@KyraNankivell LMFAO I was looking for a comment like that. I got my interview in about an hour and a half.
@@ouricenechaoua2870I hope it went well! I have mine in a few days! Do they ask any sort of trick questions or anything? Or is there anything that I should know about in regards of what they would be asking me?
@@AvinashSingh-md8ix Well I did my interview and it went very well. But it was to become an officier. So they ask a lot of questions about your positions in the military and a lot about your civilian background. Other than that, I believe it’ll be easier if you go in as an enlisted member. Good luck friend.
I had to do a double-take on whose channel I was watching because I love both of your videos ❤ #gonavy
Awe haha! Thank you Nicole!!
When you interview again could you ask if your a Canadian and your 52 can you join. Please and thank you
yes you can
Yes. the military is that desperate.
Sad government propaganda. Try listening to Propagandhi instead.
I did my CFAT, excellent medical interview, they wanted background from doctor etc and i was hit with a "did not meet requirement due to medical reasons" im wondering if its due to my medication
Yes. This my opinion on medical. Do not disclose that you have a medical condition unless it is obvious. Keep it to yourself never tell them anything. If you do will not get in.
@@3nkrypted cant do that in Canada, you have to give permission to your files, if you dont you cant join.
@@JustAnotherNuurrdd Yes you can! I would know. I have fought 2.5 years to appeal a medical issue that no longer affects me. If I didn't say anything in the first place, I would have been serving. You don't give permission to CAF to do anything when it comes to your files, they do whatever they wait. The purpose for the medical interview is to clear the CAF for any lawsuits that may arise from you being "sick" and also in their words " unfit for service".
@@3nkrypted and you need too, you need to be employable abd deployable. You lie about medications, etc, they send you out, you run out, what are you supposed to do when the CANEX, city your in etc doesnt have your meds and the military doesnt know you take them in the first place? Thats how you get a dishonorable lmao they dont need to be liable for someones bullshit, the military is a job, not a daycare.
If I have BP and type 2 diabetes, does it mean I can't join the CAF
How do u get in to special forces for the Canadian Armed Forces
you need to do 2 years of service in the caf prior to try for selection in special force
Unless you're at least 2 years into combat arms and not some REMF in the rear, they won't be interested.
You first have to be in the military. The CAF doesn’t have direct entry to special forces from the public (like they do in the U.S. for example). Then you get nominated for Selection.
I have my interview and medical tomorrow for the rest of my application processing. Your videos really have helped me through my application process.
How long did you wait after your cfat?
about a month @@Thatflyingpilipino
Some people are saying it takes 4 or 8 months but damn that’s really lucky
I am waiting for my next step currently I did my cfat and all my applications hand in last week so honestly just can’t wait haha
Just stay on top of it. thats what I've been doing. any time you have a question or are unsure of something. ask them. Im waiting on my contract offer (if they choose me for this year as a student) Its just super tedious.@@Thatflyingpilipino
Step 1: Be a visible minority
Step 2: Have a pulse
they're accepting people from all backgrounds as always.
@@120bank8unless your a white conservative, then you have to wait at least a year and receive gender identity training.
I'm considering joining the Caf for a military cook... I've got college done and all just need to get in shape and learn how to swim.. How many months would it take from the start of enlistment to the start of basic training?
It really depends, some were good to go to bmq in a couple of weeks, others a couple of months and some even took 1 year+.
