I fully understand the purpose of an in-person interview. I conduct interviews myself, similar to those the recruiters are doing, for the same department. I can confirm that there are questions where we require just a yes or no answer and I do repeat the question if someone answers something...

The "can you shoot someone" question seems to me like a yes/no question. If I would be the interviewer and I would get anything else than yes/no, I would repeat and ask "yes or no?".

I talked to my File Manager today, saying I accept their offer. He said ok, we'll be in touch with you again around June/July, just keep doing what you were doing. He was about to hang up, so I said "that's it? I thought I'd have something to sign or papers to fill out at this point". He said...

The call went well and it was to the point: "I have good news for you, we have a conditional offer for you for Land Operations. We have approved you for ROTP at a civilian University. After you complete your first year, then we'll tell you exactly what you'll end up doing, but I see here you...

I just got my call. Seriously. Conditional Offer for ROTP - still need to bring my medical papers for eye surgery and breaking my neck several years ago. I'm extremely happy about this!!!

I filled out the backcheck form when I applied, it was part of the package. One of my references was called yesterday, so I'm guessing the others ones have/will be called soon too.

Thanks for the quick answer! I really appreciate the information!

Good afternoon, I have a question about my current situation so I'll start by explaining the situation. Situation I'm currently in the late stages of the selection process for ROTP. I have passed the CFAT with a very good result, the medical is almost completed and I have completed the...

From working in the field for several years, the situations described above are not uncommon. You have to understand that if you fail to indicate an address, then it could be seen as "is this person trying to hide where they lived? and why?". Yes, paranoia is involved to a certain degree, but...

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

The deadline was January 15th 2009 actually. I would go to the Recruiting Center ASAP to see if there's any way you can submit a late application. Martin.

Thanks for the quick answers. Of course I'll drag it around with me to review it just prior to the interview. However, if they require the form, I'll form complete sentences instead of just writing down quick notes for my own use.

I searched the site for recent information about this, but only found topics several months old. I was contacted by the recruiting office concerning my interview, but was only told to dress appropriately. The recruiting center never mentioned the preparation guide (a copy of which I have found...

Update!

Wow that's a long sentence. May I suggest breaking it down into an easier to read paragraph? What's the entry plan you're looking at? It's not quite clear from what you wrote.

The University of Ottawa clinic at 100 Marie-Curie is a pretty good one. Not super long waits and the staff is excellent for the most part.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! However, I would hate to be chosen for Intelligence and after all is said and done, there's not enough positions and I end up as a nurse  :)

I was told by two different parties that they give you an MOC in May following the year you start university. So if you start in September 09, you would have an officiel MOC in or around May 2010. Since I chose intelligence as first choice, I was told that I may be approved for ROTP based on...
