Welcome to the joke of a process know as Canadian Forces Recruiting.

I'll give in on this one but only because I don't want to get banned.  :)  Good day.

So do Police Forces, CBSA, etc but they see a PAL as an asset. I realize I'm speaking with people who know a lot more than I do and that I'm wrong but it still doesn't make much sense to me.

Wow, I never thought I'd get such a bad response for trying to offer some advice. A family member who is in the CF advised me to take these steps and I'm merely sharing what I've been told. You guys are right though, having extra experience when it comes to safely handling firearms is useless.

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense I suppose, I just hope I get picked up before then.

Hello everyone, I'll apologize in advance if this question has already been answered but I ran a search and couldn't find the information I was looking for. I started my process in January and am on the merit list for Infantry Officer where I have been waiting patiently. Early on in the...

Congrats. Very good news to hear they're running another course. I'm also on the merit list for Infantry Officer and hope to get picked up.
