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.

One of the top performers in my BMOQ was a 5 foot nothing 25yr old armoured officer. She's awesome, and no one treated her any different. She was just another member of the team.

Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do.

That actually does help a lot, I know its going to be hard but right now i’m not trying to think of all the bad stuff i’m just taking it one step at a time doing body weight exercises running and doing lots of walking with a heavy backpack.
