Blue Line Forums

Greetings and thank you for letting me in on this forum. After a very successful career in the Armed Forces, I’m looking forward to some geographical and family stability as well as a overall change of pace (55-60 hr weeks and 4-7 months away annually). Coming across the Sheriff’s website, my inter...

Best of luck in Rigaud everyone. Been a BSO for couple years now. I do enjoy it. Best part is working with great people

Hi all, what kind of time off does CBSA give for military courses and or deployments? I’m a reservist and I would like to remain one. To clarify I’m not looking for time off to attend Thursday night parades or even weekend ex’s but more so for career courses and deployments. https://www.canada.ca/e...

Good to hear intakes are still happening. Maybe now we can get our deployments to other POE's divisions, etc.

Good to know intakes are still hiring ! Now us BSO's can get our deployments through !

congrats for to everybody for going. CBSA can be a rewarding career

I remember hearing rumours that if you are currently working in the federal government and get hired by another federal agency. I am entitled to be paid during training? I have been looking at previouis posts and trying to find it.

Am I the only one who hasn't received an email about the next step in the process? Last email I received gave me until July 4th to accept the OITP position.

I haven't either. Just an email saying I'm going to Rigaud August 12

Whoops. Just read that candidates will be reimbursed at the end of training.

Hmmm haven't received the curriculum yet.
When I got hired by CSC, CSC played for my flight to Kingston from Vancouver for 2 months of training. Does CBSA also do the same?

Well that was quick. I am no longer an alternate and I am slotted to start August 12 as well! I will be probably taking a leave of absence as well. I guess it is way to early to tell which regions need people??!

Hello all, Today I received my email with a letter with an invite to attend training in Rigaud Quebec. I am an English only candidate. However the letter stated I was an "alternate". Meaning I will do the online training starting in July but I may or may not being going to Rigaud in August...

Hi Montravelguy, It might be because of the proximity of all the interviewers or examiner there in Rigaud/Montreal region. As I am part of the Pacific Region, they have to send somebody from ottawa. to send all of them at the same time without knowing if the applicant will actually PASS the first i...

Hello everyone, I wrote an email to the recruitment office to see how far along my security clearance was and I got a response saying that the RCMP and CSIC have changed their process and as such the CBSA is experiencing some delay. Just thought I'd let those know who have passed everything thus fa...
