BMOQ is 26 Aug and DEO Pilot is still showing as 24 Jun.....

Thanks DAA. I appreciate the heads up. If selection is June 24 do you know when to expect a call or not?

If you have already done your interview, then you are sort of cutting it pretty close.  I believe that your med file has to go to the RMO to have the Air Factor updated.  So provided everything goes smoothly, it should take 3-4 weeks or less for the medical portion to get approved.  Just stay intouch with your respective CFRC and keep asking "Have I been Merit Listed yet?"....

If you haven't done your interview, then it needs to be done prior to that date.  That is assuming that your CFRC has already completed the other parts of the process (ie; Garda, Reliability Screening, etc)
 
Yes, I have everything done. CFAT, interview, medical at CFRC,  and passed aircrew selection last week. I'm just waiting on official results from specialists from DRDC Toronto but my file manager said he expects that I will be merit listed very soon. I guess what I am wondering about selection day is if they make all the decisions on that specific date and then when do they contact those who've have been successful. When you said 3-4 weeks are you saying that's how long after the selection is made to contact the successful candidates?
 
Just came back from  cfrc and learned that good news I am on merit list for log , bad news was told that selection is in november.
Anything else my degree was suitable for was either closed, or my hearing category was not good enough.  So the long wait begins. 
 
It took my medical file about 6 weeks to clear after the Trenton trip, although i  hear that 3-4 weeks is more of a normal timing. There was no real reason for the delay, as everything went through smoothly afterwards. Just keep calling until you find out you have been merit listed at the very least.

If you get selected you will be contacted in priority going down the list based on where you ranked. Expect at least a day or so but I've always been told to wait at least a week after selections to contact your recruiter. Information takes time to trickle down and they need to prepare the offers at your local officer and don't just call you on day one until everything is ready and set up. Be patient! It's an interesting process :)
 
Need clarification , hope someone here can help.  Was told by recruiter a month or so ago that there were 13 plus positions showing for log.  Now I finally got my processing complete and am on the merit list but was told last thursday that selection was not until nov, for a limited number of positions.  Seems like a much smaller pool of available spots all of a sudden, so not sure what to expect. 

What happens when merited for a trade and not selected when board sits.    Remain on the list till next time, or what.  What happens if merited and the trade subsequently closes.

First off, Log positions are becoming more limited due to the fact there was a selection for that position already this year for that position. Often it takes time from the time they hire persons for a particular position to the time they tell recruiting centers that a limit of positions or no positions are available. Hence, recruiting centers continue to seek recruiting for the open position quite readily despite that the position has limited to no spots remaining in the selection period in question.

Second, just because you are not chosen during a selection because you are low on the merit list does not automatically disqualify you from remaining on the list, if selections will still take place at a later date. As long as there is a merit list, you will probably remain on it, again, as long as there are positions available. However, a military career counselor may encourage those who have a possible lower chance of obtaining the position they want into a different area of occupation. I cannot comment on that since I do not know what your application is like or whether or not you would be competitive on the merit list. Many military career counselors will tell you whether or not you would at least be competitive or not.

Good Luck,

M
 
Where did you get that BMOQ is on August 26th DAA?
When I emailed the CLFRS they said Sept 16 and Sept 30.
 
I've asked DAA the same thing a few times and I never get a response. His info seems to always be right so I just go with it now. Last time I talked to my file manager he said one BMOQ at the end of August and one at the end of September.

Yes, there is BMOQ on August 26 th.I got also this information. It was some changes.It is all what I know.Don't ask how I know.
P.S. Sometimes just get information without asking «where and who».

For DEO Pilot that is....could be different for you

I don't think that BMOQ is broken up into trades. Why would they if BMOQ is the same for all Officers?
Training diverges after BMOQ.
 
You're right. I just thought there could be a possibility that some trades may have different BMOQ start dates. Usually there a few BMOQ platoons with multiple start dates so I just wanted to let that guy know I was talking about DEO Pilot in case there are any differences.
 
I got nuthin on the BMOQ dates, but I was also given the 24 June date for Pilot Selection Board by my file manager. Was advised that NORMALLY, job offers start going out 7-10 days after that, via telephone.  Apparently they wanna talk to you to get your verbal acceptance or not on the spot?  lol  Can't say I blame them... 

As for the time delay between a job offer phone-call and then a swearing-in ceremony and then reporting for BMOQ??  I haven't a clue on the usual time frame for these events.  If swearing-in ceremony is only done at your 'local' recruiting center, then I've gotta travel!  Only one center in BC, so it's either a flight from up north here to Vancouver, or a 12-hr drive each way for me!

May be getting little further off-topic, but if anyone's familiar with the NORMAL time-frame, that would be wonderful!  Don't need specific dates, but a ballpark idea would be appreciated.

I asked a recruiter how much time your given between the offer and BMOQ and he said he's seen anywheres from 2 months to 2 days. From what I've read however on this forum it seems most people are given 2-3 week notice.
 
If pilot selection is June 24, does anyone know when selection is for other trades?
 
Have you asked your file manager? I wrote mine an email and he was able to tell me the selection day, BMOQ dates etc. If you tried that already maybe PM DAA. He's helped me a lot.

I called and he said he thought it might be sometime in July...
