[@TheRealTakeDown]

Thank you!

[@amritakaur7200]

hey could u help in getting content for the entrance exam

[@harkamalpreetsinghbhuhi3555]

​@@amritakaur7200 you also applied?

[@ddanks28]

Have you heard anything in regards to an interview?

[@jasmeendoad4844]

Is there any negative marking for wrong answers? and what about if you do not answer few questions?

[@Rander]

​@jasmeendoad4844 it's best to answer all the questions, you only get deducted if you are wrong, the test gives you plenty of time to complete it

[@humbertoarellanosandoval9996]

Excellent information

[@TheRealTakeDown]

Thank you!

[@billsullivan8812]

@The Real TakeDown-good info. As you saw in your video-Security Guard Course My Experience, watch out for the kind of company I mentioned in your comments section of that video.

[@austinwarr955]

Hello, Where can I apply? I tried going on GC Jobs but I don't see any job postings.

[@kranthikiran3370]

Hey. How are you doing today. How can I reach out to you for a small information about cbsa?

[@angelicadeangelis1649]

Excellent information. Thank you! Do I have to complete the firearms course before applying? Or is that part of the training?

[@nilpatel2581]

You can complete the course during the selection process.

[@tobikomolafe1412]

Thank you very informative video I have a question though I am currently about to finish police foundations in college and I am contemplating going to uni for criminology is it worth it and how do I benefit from it ?

[@Rander]

to each their own, you can complete it to stand out, but essentially, good work and volunteer experience should suffice to get in, hope this helps

[@فواد313]

Theres been a message on the cbsa site saying “ the developmental process is closed” its been like this for many many months . I wonder when theyre going to have openings available for BSO’s

[@juicyluxury]

they had it open for applications in the summer 2022

[@bands3658]

Are you sure about this? I saw many opportunities on Canadian Government job search page. They had job ads in the Mississauga area for the development program. I will try to find a link for you

[@bands3658]

You can try using the general Canadian government job search page and select agencies - CBSA

[@فواد313]

@@bands3658 ive tried brother. Can't find anything unfotunately. I'll keep searching in the meantime. I got the notifications on the GC filtered for the CBSA. Hopefully there's an opening soon.

[@leahgrace1696]

I spoke with a BSO at a job fair at my university last week. They said they're going through 19,000 applications right now and they're opening it back up in 2 or so months once they get through the ones they already have!

[@sukhpaldhillon8074]

For the PARE Test do they provide training or do we have to prepare ourself ???

[@TheRealTakeDown]

You have to prepare yourself

[@sukhpaldhillon8074]

@@TheRealTakeDown Thank you!!

[@michaeld4879]

If you are doing the pare test some colleges such as La Cite will allow you to practice the obsticles do a timed run and the evaluator will give you an overall assessment. It costs around $50 to do that.

[@Rander]

you don't even have to do the PARE, they accept the equivalent which is FITCO, much easier

[@harunali7536]

what happens if i dont have a criminal record, or conviction. but i was charged with something that i was innocent of, the charges were withdrawn because i was not guilty. i have applied to get my file destruction, finger prints and mugshot destroyed. i work security, have experience and want to get into law enforcement. do i qualify?

[@marymercedesgranil3381]

Can you provide the link to get more information? Where do I get the test?

I applied earlier , they did not accept my application, what should i do in this case

[@TheRealTakeDown]

Did they say why they didn't accept?

[@AndrewDlopez]

I say do a college course not university so they know your serious

[@Hafsafruity]

How do you study or where do you study for the entrance exam?

[@camaleon18]

Hold on! After all of that no accomodation is provided during those 4 weeks? Where are people supposed to stay at? Also, you didn’t give us a website or link of where to apply

[@TheRealTakeDown]

If you are talking about the 4 weeks online training. It is online training. You do it at home. They give accommodations when you go to the campus for the next part. You can check CBSA website and/or Canadian Government website to search for job postings. Applications open for short periods of time throughout each year.

[@camaleon18]

My bad! I meant for the 13 weeks long training 5:55 as you only mentioned that CBSA will provide transportation and all meals and a very little amount of $125 a week for any other basic living expenses. Does that mean that no accomodation is provided for free even when you had to move to another province? I appreciate all the info.

[@TheRealTakeDown]

Yes, you will get a room on campus that is included at no extra cost for the entire duration of your training

[@camaleon18]

@@TheRealTakeDown oh ok, you did not mention that on the video. Thanks. I’m curious as I’ve watched a couple of your videos. Did you finally pass the test and are now working for the CBSA?

Any One here finished the firearms course and PARE test.

[@johntonguecruz2404]

I've done the 2 firearms course (restricted and unrestricted) in preparation. The PARE i was told should be done when they tell you to do it, mainly because it has an expiration. You dont want to do it in advance just in case the next step will take longer. The firearms course has no expiry, so do that. I'm at the interview stage and still waiting on the email. What stage of the recruitment process are you in?

[@angelicadeangelis1649]

So each part of the OTEE you have to get 70% or more? Theyre separated?

Yes that is correct. There are 4 categories. Each one needs 70% or more. If one category is below 70% the whole test has to be retaken
