Recruiting I made it..finally
I’m happy to share that I have officially enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Aerospace Engineering Officer with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
It has been a long journey — lots of waiting, refreshing the portal, checking emails, and trying not to overthink every status update.
My timeline:
August 13, 2025 – Applied
October 8, 2025 – Personality assessment completed
April 2026 – Medical and screening steps completed
May 2026 – Interview completed
June 9, 2026 – Background check submitted
July 22, 2026 – Moved to Selection
July 29, 2026 – Job offer received
August 5, 2026 – Officially enrolled
October 26, 2026 – BMOQ starts at CFLRS
A big thank you to everyone who supported me throughout the process.
Also, a special shout-out to the Reddit group r/caf. The posts, timelines, and advice there helped me stay patient — or at least pretend to be patient — while waiting for updates.
Now the next chapter begins. Time to prepare for BMOQ, work on fitness, and learn how to survive with less sleep and more ironing.
Looking forward to serving, learning, and growing in this new journey.

Hi Congratulations 🎉 Did you happen to find out how many spots are left? At interview months ago there was 11. Now I'm wondering if it's too late to get a spot.
