With regards to the pay raise, it seemed to work like this for the 183's / 032's on my BOTC intake: DEO were paid Ocdt wages until completing BOTC, then given a raise to 2Lt pay with back pay to the date of enrollment. Some of us DEO guys were paid as 2Lt's even though we were Ocdt's, and the rumor was that if we failed BOTC, we would owe the difference between Ocdt and 2Lt pay for the time we were receiving the higher pay rate.
For CEOTP, they received Ocdt except for those who had completed commercial flight training from an "approved institution." Regular CEOTP's were paid Ocdt pay and remain an Ocdt until either wings qualification or completing a university degree (whichever occurs first.) Getting your wings will take you to at least Lt (maybe captain depending how long your training took) getting your degree will promote you to 2Lt.
CEOTP's who had the "approved institution" training were basically treated like DEO's, with 2Lt commissioning and 2Lt pay after BOTC grad. The approved thing is a select group of flight schools that the CF has deemed roughly equivalent to the Primary Flight Training program. If you went to an approved school and got your commercial licence, you also didn't have to complete CAPSS and will bypass PFT.
BE CAREFUL, because CFRC does not fully understand how the training system works. A friend of mine was commissioned as a 2Lt after BOTC and was receiving 2Lt pay. He was later demoted down to Ocdt, had his pay reduced and owed a great deal of money. This was financially a kick and somewhat embarrassing to have to have new ranks sewn on his flight suits midway through Moose Jaw. He had to find his commissioning scroll a few provinces away, have it mailed out to him and give it to the Adj. So the advice is if you're CEOTP and not from the "Approved / Bypass" group, don't spend all your money because they may realize the mistake later and make your life difficult. My buddy even wrote memo's telling the OR that he thought they made a mistake and no one could confirm it one way or the other for a year, until on course in the Jaw.
Good luck with your training.
