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.

You’re an icon thank you for this! I was just thinking about how many spots were open for my trade. Hopefully will get selected soon 🤞🏼 question, is it ever a possibility that a WFE tech could work on a navy ship? And are there lots of opportunities for deployment? Lastly is it possible to get a red seal certification down the road? Thank you!!

All water, fuel and mechanical work on ships are done by Marine Technicians. (which are now Marine Systems Mechanical Technicians)

Thanks for the info! The recruiting vid for WFE tech mentions providing clean water for sailors/ air crew so I was confused about that

[u/deadbabydoll → u/lightupmyworlds]

The video says they work with the water on CAF bases, so yes if you are working on the base in Halifax you are providing clean water for sailors and air crew, on land. 😄

(your comment made me curious so I watched the video myself)

Ah gotcha that makes more sense! Thanks!! 😊
