Good job on the video! I was literally searching up random CAF videos and found this one! :D I'm also from Toronto as well (Crazier point, I went to UofT St. George last year for History when I decided to drop it) and am going a slightly different route than you! I first thought about the Reserves and contacted Fort York, but then applied for Reg force and things are slightly different but very similar. I applied in April 2019 to CFRC Toronto, did my CFAT, medical, and interview in June and got my job offer on August 30th for Infantry Soldier (my second option was Combat Engineer though!), going to CFRC Toronto on Sept. 11th for Pre-Enrollment brief and off to St. Jean-sur-Richelieu Quebec for BMQ on Sept. 14th! During BMQ is when I will do my physical test (which I think is the main difference as you seem to have done yours around your CFAT). But that is my journey as well for those in the comments that wanted some sort of time frame for Regular Force as well! Subbed and Liked :D

@@toinfiniteandbeyond3860 went through my BMQ at CFLRS back in 2018, became the best fit individual(Gold level) for the week "zero" Force test(physical test, you must pass). It was a great help such as Pull-ups and dips, 1.5miles running in 9min. Saw lots of mbrs injured and failed due to their physical weaknesse. BMQ requires your mental as well as physical strength, with that being said, your mental strength always remains strong in respect to physical strength, if you can stay strong physically, you can also remain confident of any type of training or duty. (Physical consitions always go along with mental strength) Please make yourself best physical condition before heading to st.Jean, as someone already mentioned above, week 7 and 9(Farnham) would be challenging.(wk9 better than 7 though). If yoh need any further explanations or tips, i am happy to help you. Good luck

Hi Kyra. Amazing video. Very helpful. I am just starting the process. Going to talk to the recruiter next week. Quick question to you: did you do your CFAT on a computer or on paper? I am pretty confident in my abilities when I have a pen in my hand, when I can write things down or do some calculations. Unfortunately, when the game comes to my mental math, I really suck. So do you know if they give scrap paper or a blank space on the test paper for notes? Please don't hesitate with the new videos. All the best.

I live in Québec, so the educational system is a little bit different to the other provinces/territories, but once I get my engineering diploma, I’m planning on getting into the Royal Military College of Canada in the regular force and study mechanical engineering. I’m so happy that you made a video talking about this. I’m pretty nervous for my evaluations tomorrow and this honestly helps me a lot!

Hi Kathy! I think that you should start the process and try to pass the FORCE test. 1) You may surprise yourself and pass or 2) You will know where you stand and which specific movements need improved! So I would definitely say start the formal process of enrolling, take the FORCE test and if it doesn’t go well then you’ll have feedback and a retest date to act on!

Hopefully you would know the answer to this but, I’m someone who is in their last year of highschool and on the verge of failing my last year and probably won’t be getting my diploma. would I need this to apply because I’ve read it’s a grade 10 minimum for requirements.

It depends on your personal ability to absorb information and test well. I would say try a practice test to see how much you need to learn. If you are consistently studying every day and use software to help you study, I think it's possible! Of course I recommend www.army-test.com/kyra as the software of choice, but find what works best for you!
