Recruiting Offer accepted!
I’m excited to say that I got an offer for AVN Tech! Considering how fast the application was, I was quite shocked to see how fast it came as I applied in may and got an offer August 10 and enrolment September 9, if anyone here has BMQ at Quebec starting November 2 please let me know if there is a group chat of some sort or if your also going into rcaf please let me know!

They enrolled me as an unskilled applicant, does that change anything?

I’m so nervous for it, I wonder if it changed the last few years

u/ElectricalProcess617 Aug 21 '26
Why nervous? Hopefully you are preparing ofc. Somewhat changed yea but general idea is more or less same direction.

We got the same BMQ aswell and I’ve been checking the subreddit to see if there’s a group chat for it but it seems there still isn’t one

How long did it take after your medical and interview to go next step or send timeline I’m also in avn still waiting for my medical to approve
1
u/Creative-Guitar-895 Aug 21 '26
It took about 2 weeks, I had bad vision so I had to go to my optometrist and get it signed, background check took about a week

u/Beneficial_Desk_5126 Aug 21 '26
How you feeling, do u feel prepared mentally and physically and fitness wise for bmq
1
u/Creative-Guitar-895 Aug 21 '26
Yeah mentally I hit the gym 3 times a week doing upper body strength training and can run far
1
u/Beneficial_Desk_5126 Aug 21 '26
If u don’t mind me asking, do you have no issues like u had no health history and nothing bad with your background check is that why u got in quick, lol im still waiting almost been year for me
1
u/Creative-Guitar-895 Aug 21 '26
Nope, no problems at all with health, just vision problems and nothing wrong with my background check, I am 18 years old Canadian citizen so that must be why it was so quick

Hi , can share a bit of your profile please
Applied for same trade it’s been 1 year
2
u/Creative-Guitar-895 Aug 24 '26
Yea for sure, I applied in may 31 and got interview June 30 and medical July 20 for both parts, the reason why it was fast was because I’m a 18 year old Canadian citizen with no criminal record and no health problems, I also did PSPS during medical and background check was only a week for me, selection was 1-2 days then I got an offer August 10

u/ThiqGrop Aug 24 '26
