Aptitude...not required. Dress and deportment...not required...anxiety from the thought of being tested on something? No problem, you'll make a great warfighter...

[potatofarmer]

Lower the standards, Lower the stxcadards,
Lrtwr tfh cstandrds.

Wonder why nothing works, and why people leave.

[jasonbrisco]

Well, we have a government that doesn't value people... antiquated equipment, crappy pay and ridiculous cost to housing.... what a mess.

[JampaTenzin]

Genuinely I think it is a salary problem.

This is a huge help since I failed my cfat because I graduated 6 years ago so I haven't done the math in 6 years and for the life of me cant seem to remember even with a full year of studying done on my own. Kinda lost hope of being able to join but since this the expedited application trial is happening I'm hopeful I can get in its been a Childhood dream to become a combat engineer as i was told stories about my great grandfather who was a combat engineer in ww2 and unfortunately died in the battle of Kursk

It is unfortunate that the new change does not apply to Reserve Applicants too.

Can confirm at least in my case that a decent GED score will get you into the Expedited Application Trial for Infantry.

Your videos are awesome and very informative. I love your setup also. I passed my physical, CFAT, medical, and interview, but my file has been showing in final processing for a long time now. I hope the background checks don't take too long I'd like to get started very soon!

[lesagejaffa]

When the test is failed twice consecutively, one cannot benefit from the accelerated candidacy😮‍💨

[MA]

Skip thr CFAT and get to interview in a month

Than get hit with security clearance that will take 6-18months lol

[chronesrt]

How old is too old for CAF. I've always wanted to join but never did or wasn't able. Now I'm 43 and don't know if it's too late.

[TheReem]

Should be an option for Reserves as well…

[evellish]

So far in my recruiting process I have found the only way to get anything done is to actually go to the recruiting office in person. Phone calls go nowhere, emails are not replied to, the online application program of the forces website is broken to the point it wouldn't even let me enter my primary phone number. If your serious about joining the only way is to get down to a recruiting office.

Deterrent is an gross understatement, I haven't taken the cat since 2013 (I think) and I'm not in the military but this is the first question I remember in it

Sally can read 4 pages in her book in 4 minutes, how many more words can she read given another 4 minutes

A: 200
B: 400
C: 600
D: 800

Test was loaded with trick questions like this so I never took it again.

[DeathRidesapalehorse-hjhj]

The culture of joining the military is gone but not lost. You shouldnt waste your time with expectations on day 1. Similarily you shouldnt be assigning them to a trade that they have no experience with. OJT during first year should include many 2 week tours around different bases not just St.jean sur richelou or Borden

[rileyyy]

I’m interested in applying for an officer position but I won’t have my bachelors degree until December, do you know how long this trial is running for?

[sumitchaudhary]

My application for reserves in in process scored good in CFAT and today had my medical as per, medical examiner I need to test my hearing by some specialist, if you can help me in understanding this that will be big help, if possible let me know how can I contact you . Please help me in overcoming this hurdle, before today I never knew I have hearing issues

[phoenixinvest]

Why have more people left then entered the Canadian armed forces over the past 3 years?

[dhyaneshnathdeevi]

I applied for NCM position and have a Masters degree from canadian university. My application says ready for testing in my account. Can you explain what that mean? Do I need to take CFAT since I have a master's degree?

[markrussell]

Yes the Minister is correct its a death spiral. How about doing what worked in the past? 2006-11 the CAF was in Force Expansion footing and doubled intake targets, launched a team of specialists and connected with Canadians by focusing on influencers in colleges and community leaders. By 2013 the CAF had exceed personnel levels and shut down the program.
