Hey guys, I hear that Comms Research operators can wait a year or two for their security clearance and that in that time they do fairly meaningless work. Not sure if its true or not. I asked my recruiter about taking school courses, on my own time, during that period and he told me that one...

Thanks for the replies guys! Truth be told, like most government webpages, the RMC site is very difficult to navigate and find information. Pages that were deleted are still linked, which is not uncommon with government maintained web pages, so i appreciate the answers! I know that some...

A few questions guys, Are there any postings for Comm Researches outside of Canada?

Yes, this essentially.

Thanks, Quick follow up question. What happens to those who don't receive the security clearance?

Question guys... What happens if you don't receive the security clearance after you have already completed BMQ and in Kingston waiting around?

I've seen this notion thrown around a lot in this section of the forums. Are there truly medications that if one is currently taking, or has taken in the past, they will be disqualified per se? I know people here cannot give medical advice, but I believe this is a question which falls into the...

Hey guys, Just spent the last hour reading through this thread as I have my own concerns about my medical. Things are moving fairly quickly for me right now, assuming my interview and medical go well I could be off to BMQ at the end of April, assuming all goes well. Quite the surprise since I...

Geomatics unskilled entry?

Hey guys, Just finished my CFAT and qualified for my trade choice (geoTech) but was also told that I should consider Met Tech. I haven't read much about it to be honest but I would like to know, what kind of opportunities exist for a Met Tech after the military? I know that they don't graduate...

Hey, I have my CFAT scheduled, but it makes no mention of an interview and/or medical. Is this standard now? I'm in Vancouver.

As I understand it, in some places the process has switched where an applicant does the CFAT then is called back for an interview if he/she has done well enough. I've read people stating that their CFAT scores did not qualify them for their desired trades but that they were given other options...

What is the contract length for Geo techs?

I'm a bit confused about the 5 years requirement. If I worked for a man for a period of 3 years, two years ago, does he count as an acceptable reference?

Wantd to post this in the big CFAT thread, but it appears to be locked, this thread will likely get merged into the big one. Pretty simple questions, do all officer positions require a higher score on the CFAT than all NCM trades? Simple question, thanks.

Any ideas as the the average age of a new recruit?

I have read through the various "am i too old threads" but didn't see a discussion directly related to the idea of ageism in regards to career advancement. I'm not sure what the average age of recruitment is, I've tried looking it up but some of the stats are contradictory but a general trend I...

I have been told no. When you show up, you basically need to have a place to stay. I spoke to the recruiter again yesterday and he didn't make it sound like my chances of getting into the Geomatics trade were very high. Not based on my personal application, just as a numbers game.

Thanks, Just in case anyone is interested, I did a bit of quick research. Residence at Algonquin college is between $7210 and $7360 depending upon whether its paid in full as one payment, or over the course of three payments. This price is for the academic year, which runs, they say, from...

I don't know what that means.
