Hello everybody, I know this is sort of a vague or difficult question to answer for some people.
I went to the CFRC and wrapped everything up (cfat, medical, physical, interview) on the 27th of May. Anyways this summer seems to be a bit slow regarding waiting time. I was first told that day that I would get a call in 4-6 weeks. After about 7 weeks of waiting I called my recruiting centre to check up on how my application was doing. They said that my application was just looked over and I should wait a little longer and I would be put on a merit list. Some weeks later I called the second time hoping not to bother them so much about it, and I was then told I was merit listed (about 3 weeks ago) which means I was probably put on the merit list about a week or two prior since it seemed like I was put on it before I called in. I'm sorry if I'm coming off looking a little impatient, I'm really not. I'm not sure if this is considered a long waiting time and I know that it is different for everyone, however I was just wondering based on my conditions. My recruiter from my infantry reserve unit I applied to in Toronto told me when I went in April that he would try and get me in for the November BMQ and I wrote my name down on a list of maybe 10-20 people and said that he needs that list to be filled or get as many people as he can in for the November BMQ or else it won't be running. Also I do have a job offer from that unit.
With that said does any of that have an influence on my chances being called before November to swear in? Or would it be unusual if I didn't get the call by November. Or does anybody know if theres a high amount of people trying to get in 2013 for the infantry reserves causing it to be sort of slow like this or if they're just not calling because they're on summer training (somebody told me this). I guess I'm getting lightly anxious since I was told I was to get a call in 4-6 weeks in May and I was hoping to get in for November so I can do my BMQ then instead of waiting until the next available course.
