Thanks for your feedback everyone! Last question, does anyone know how early one can apply to have their spouse moved with them?  The earlier the better I assume.  I am considering renting a small motel room or something near Borden, not ideal, but better than being 4 provinces away.  Just have...

We are married.  We plan to ask, just wanted some feedback.  My only concern is having to pay two rents each month, which, wouldn't be doable.  Thanks for the info.  We will inquire on Thursday when we go in.

I do have a job, in fact, I work from home so I can work anywhere.  However, I do not make a high wage.  Moving to another province isn't cheap, and apartments in other provinces are twice or three times more expensive then they are here.  Does he have to pay rent and food costs while he is...

Man, that is brutal.  We live in PEI, so I will have no choice but to move, at my own expense.  I have to say, they are quite misleading at recruitment centers when they say that your family is moved with you to base.  They never bothered to tell us that we will be apart for 8 months after basic...

Thank you for the great info guys!  It did leave me with one more, fairly important, question. After Basic, when you get posted for your career training, is your family (ie: wife, and/or children) moved with you?  Or do you have to be away from them for 3 years while you do the training and...

After searching through the forums, I was unable to find a solid answer to this question. My husband applied last week and has his aptitude test next week.  We are concerned about one aspect of the interview and medical. During his teen years, my husband experimented with drugs, not just...

Hey all!  I am a brand new member.  I am not personally applying to CAF, but my husband is.  He's already applied and has his CFAT on Thursday.  We have a few questions we are desperate for answers to.  I've read everything possible on the Forces website, watched both seasons of Basic Up, and...
