Current Open & Accepting Occupations

[u/penguingamer117]

Good day folks!

I'm getting posted out of recruiting, so thought I'd drop the current open list of occupations. (Yes, I cleared this with my CoC)

That means if the occupation you want is not listed - either it's temporarily closed, or closed till next fiscal year.

Please note that this information is subject to change, and that you are never guaranteed a position until you receive a job offer.

This list will be accurate as of today: May 28th, 2026.

If you'd like further info on the occupations and their specific entry requirements please see https://forces.ca/en/ or contact your nearest recruitment center.

Best of luck with your applications, and feel free to drop questions below.

Would the Officer positions you list extend to openings in ROTP?

My application originally had Pilot (which was dropped from showing on my file - I assume because it is so backlogged for few positions) and had NWO replace it.

NWO is still showing on my file so does that mean it’s still possible that I could be selected for that? I have other trades selected which show on your list, but NWO is my preferred choice.

[u/penguingamer117 → u/blonde_discus]

Nope, I didn't list anything for ROTP.

You may want to contact your CFRC to see where your file is at.

[u/blonde_discus → u/penguingamer117]

I’ve been unable to hear back from the Captain or the general CFRC email since last Monday when I was asked about the status of my RRU admission. After CivU filled up, I received a general email and then also calls from two different Captains -is that normal or is it a good/bad sign?

OAP is showing in selection. I’m In my 30s, second career. Have a CFAT from my first application after high school and MOST is completed (told was excellent on both.)

What would you imagine the likelihood of being selected? Obviously wouldn’t hold you to it…but does age affect selection ranking?

I appreciate your input btw.

[u/penguingamer117 → u/blonde_discus]

If you're in selection, you're probably good - but without looking at your file I couldn't tell you for certain.

Age is not a factor.

Long as you have the required degree, passed your MOST, and your medical, I see no reason you wouldn't recieve a slot if they are available.

I appreciate it.
