How to Succeed in the RECRUITMENT PROCESS in 2023 (Canadian Armed Forces)

[@Synystr7]

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.

[@thegoat1261]

Happy to hear that. I need a job😂 thanks for letting us know.

[@live4lifeeeeee975]

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’m just paranoid because I’m assuming that you don’t get to join the army academy at any given time that there are classes that start at a certain month like college semester so if you don’t get your paper work done in time you end up waiting longer. Is that how it works. I know there are limited spot for careers for sure

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 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.

[@ccwwfoundationforbes7487]

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.

[@jf-co4iu]

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?

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.

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?

Sad government propaganda. Try listening to Propagandhi instead.

Just so you guys know. This guy got kicked out of recruit training school at CFLRS Quebec as an instructor. He was deemed untrustworthy because he cares more about his KZbin channel and boosting himself than actually mentoring recruits. He brags about being a sailor with probably 20 sea days. Remember this, there are countless sailors at much lower ranks with exponentially more sea days than this petty officer. Nobody respects Petty officers that dont do their time on the deck plates. Zero respect.🫡
