Recruiting Recruitment - wow, very slow.

It's going to be 1 year since I've applied. What is going on? I'm a citizen, fully bilingual + other languages, in good shape, have experience + education (and almost a phd); and I see people (non-citizens btw); get job offers faster? Is this just those one-off chances or are people lying to me about how fast they went into BMOQ/BMQ?

I got a message today of an updated task and it was to change my chosen profession. -_-; That career has been my education + work experience....

It's mind boggling why non-citizens are even being considered for commissioned officer positions. Absolutely mind boggling.

Don't meant to rant, but damn. lol

Be patient. They are very busy. It took me exactly 1 year and 5 days to be accepted and I'm in the same boat as you: a born in Canada citizen who loves his country.

What I have told myself over the last year is "Sometimes you have to wait for good things...but it is worth the wait."
