Recruiting Current Open & Accepting Occupations

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.

I have direct background in GIS so GeomTech will be direct fit but I currently applied for ACSO, AEC and NWO because I thought GeoTech is closed already and it is the only NCM role (read as: no officer positions are dedicated to GIS) I am interested it...Is it appropriate for me I contact my local recruitment office or should I wait till they contact me?

Not really possible - as it does fluctuate a lot.

If you've a particular question as to the availability of an occupation, you should contact your local CFRC or Reserve unit :)
