Hi Everyone,
I am just starting to look into joining the CF and would like a little advice. I'll give you a brief background so you can know a little more about me. First off, I am 33 years old so I'm hoping that age is not a factor when joining. When I was 16 I joined the reserves and was only in for two years. After high school, I finished college, university and grad school. After school, I taught elementary school for 6 years and finally after that I worked for CBSA as a Border Services Officer. I would like to know where to look for information regarding Officer enrollment and training as well. Also, can someone tell me what the general timeline is? I know that anything government takes a long time (CBSA took 12 months from application to first day of training), but approx. how long is it for CF? I am just curious about the timing because I would like to make sure I have enough time to get into shape (well, better shape then I am in right now). If the process was quicker than expected than I would just hold off on my application a little but if it's a longer process than I would apply know in anticipation of the wait. Also, is the application process different for each branch on the millitary....is one faster than the other?
Thank you in advance for any help you could give me and I look forward to your responses.
