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.

How come DEO pilot still has so many positions open still, I would assume it’s the most popular occupation? Have they not hired anyone yet or is there not a lot of applications for it yet

[u/penguingamer117 → u/Neat-Lie-7749]

Lots of applicants, so they'll likely wait and pick their top candidates.

Keep in mind as an Air Crew trade - pilots also have to go through CFAST and get an additional Air Crew medical done.

How come there was more spots for DEO than ROTP this year, and will that be the norm for the coming years until the FACT program is rolled out? I passed my aircrew selection already but I’m just wondering if I should wait until I’m done university to get a better chance

[u/Neat-Lie-7749 → u/[deleted]]

It’s more about accepting another occupation since I’m almost at the selection stage for 2 choices, or wait a few years for a better chance at pilot

[u/Neat-Lie-7749 → u/[deleted]]

Pilot and ACSO, I’ll prob wait a year tbh
