Generally,
How long does it take to usually get on to the merit list after the interview, and what type of factors hold you back from getting on sooner/
Any info would be much appreciated

What is the average timeline for getting onto the merit list after your interview?

Hi there. My medical file was sent to Ottawa to get approved on Sept. 6, 2015. I keep checking every week or so for an update on my application only to find out its still there. When that gets approved I'm confused on what happens next. I've seen threads on a merit list and all that but i haven't seen what a merit list actually is and what it does. So my question is, what is it and how does it work and how long on average does it take. If you could answer additional questions such as the wait time until medical files get approved and sent back that'd be much appreciated. Thanks for your input and time

Thanks mariomike for the links.
Threads now merged.
Hello there. If this has already been addressed, i apologize, I don't have a whole ton of time on my hands to read through everything.
A couple years ago i made my decision to join the forces and quit all my bad habits(smoking, drinking) and forced myself to adopt a good diet and workout schedule and upgraded my gpa.
Once i knew i could keep up all the positive stuff. i applied. i did the interview for marine engineer and physical in December. The captain who interviewed me told me that I was rated as "competitive" for my trade and will be put on the merit list after i get this thing filled out for my medical. I got it done that day and sent it in. I called after x-mas break and the recruiter told me that my file said that i was "recommended for merit list" Does that mean I am on the list? or just recommended to be put on it? I asked him and he said that it should mean i'm on it. He sounded unsure so I want to ask here. Also. once im on the list. how long on aveage do i have to wait for "the call".
thanks in advance

Fortunately for you, mariomike is especially generous with his.
Welcome to Army.ca. We expect people to do their homework here. If you are not willing to put some time and effort into finding your own answers, why should anybody else waste theirs on your behalf? Try that in the CF and see how well it goes over with your colleagues. Everybody is expected to pull their weight.
If, however, after putting in some honest effort, you still cannot find an answer then we will be extremely happy to help.
And, also, we have higher standards for written communication here. Please use proper sentence structure and capitalization in future.
Hello all, i am done my medical and also my interview since Febuary, both went great. I had to wait for courses to be accepted since i was in the reserves in the past. They are approved although i do not know if all of them or simply my basic was approved. I am now waiting to get merit listed and selected since March. I call my RC every two weeks for a status update and always the same answer `` final processing``. What are the usual delays for that and merit listing?? Anyone know??
Thank you very much in advance, Cheers

Hello all,
I got a call a few days ago saying that I needed to go in to re-do my medical (since it expired as its been more then a year).... after I JUST re-did my refrences and clearance checks as those expired as well.
The fellow also mentioned that I WAS merit listed for Armour Officer.
What exactly does this mean? After I re-do my medical, does it have to be sent back to Ottawa rubber stamped then sent back and THEN I start the wait process again before I MIGHT get the call for basic?
And Am I right in thinking that I have until March/April of 2018 before my application and medical expire again?
Been going on 2 years now, I just want the job already, haha.
Thanks!

Hello,
As for the medical going to Ottawa, it would depend on if there was something specifically that needed the RMO's approval for your application to continue. You should pose this question to the Medical Staff who did your medical as they're the only ones who can tell you whether your file needs to goto Ottawa for medical approval or not.
You are right in thinking that in March/April 2018 should you not be selected by then that you will need to redo your application (minus CFAT / TSD as they're good for life).
