ROTP 2011-2012

[Rogo]

Any idea how that works for CT's because I'm supposed to be on course all summer with the reserves but if I get accepted I will miss out on that work.

They'll probably say you're SOL but call the recruiting office or ask around at your unit they will have a good idea.

It depends, if you don't get the offer then it will be infinately longer before you sign contracts and get paid.  Now let us reflect on the last 20pages of this thread. The one constant is that no one knows the answer and that some people may not even hear if they are accepted until summer. Some people were only given offers in august. With that in mind I think you could see that IF you are accepted you will be notified, sign the contract, and begin being paid, between tomorrow morning when the recruiting centres open to say August 31st.    In general though the bulk of the people sign contracts June-July and begin pay when they meet their ULO's pre-Introduction course in August.

1) The way it works people is simple. There are three rounds of selection. First selection has already commenced and the people chosen from that pool will be contacted shortly.

2) The second round fills in the spots that the first round picks decline. Furthermore, there is also the possibility your recruiter will contact you and say "this trade is full, but these are open. Would you like to apply for this?". If you say yes, your application will move to a new pool(Will also stay in your original selection). While the second round selection board is sitting, they will look at all the applications for the vacancy and pick the most competitive applicants.

3) 3rd round repeats step 2 and the duration for this can go from now until September. If you are next on the merit list and someone refuses their offer or something happens within the next few months that deems the candidate unsuitable, pack your bags.

You should, and I say should, hear the outcome for all three rounds. If you do not, contact your recruiter.

I've done a course in college already, and did some self teaching as well. It's super interesting (opinion of course), and I'm hoping that it will be an acceptable degree at RMC with AerE as my first choice.

Only thing to do is wait! Hopefully we'll all hear back soon.

Hey all,

If you take a look at this thread

http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/13064.0.html

you will find that people have already been posting this 'roll call' for quite a while now. It is interesting to look through and see the different timings for individual application experiences.

I see in this thread that some people were offered positions throughout March and as recent as yesterday and have their swear in dates. Do these people in general differ in any way from the process we are in or are they receiving the same type of offer I am waiting for (of course different occupations)?

 

[VeryMerry]

The linked thread has posts from people applying for both Officer and NCM occupations. I haven't seen any ROTP applicants say they have been accepted (though there has been a DEO or two.)

 

[pudd13]

Pilot
RMC, but if I am given a Civi U offer instead, it will be U of T or Carleton
Aerospace Engineering
No previous CF experience

Is it just me or does it seem like there are lots of ACSO applicants this year?

 

[Korr12]

Seems like no one heard anything today. I don't know about anyone else, but I have a good feeling about tomorrow!
