Just got a batch A email. Hoping COPAT dates are around the corner. Hi, just saw your signature, "Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue", I assume you are also a Canada Coast Guard Auxiliary member just like most of the other Marine S&R organizations' member. :D I was a former Canadian Coast Guard ...

Just got a batch A email. Hoping COPAT dates are around the corner.

Just wondering if anyone knows what's going on with CTP's, have they restarted? Any new ones starting up? Where are they running them? I heard PEI and Kingston, but I also heard rumors of possibly running them at the Institutions to save having to pre and post quarantine. Asking for a friend. Thank...

Hello, I am interested in applying online and I understand a new class is about to start back up at Depot. Curious if anybody knows if the DFO will be hiring more officers in 2020/2021? Or if the 100 officers to be hired in 2018-2019 has been reached and there will be a hiring freeze. Thanks! My un...

Glad to see the application process is speeding up again. Can't wait for the new class to come over, so that I can potentially be on the 4 on 4. LOL

Might be waiting a little while. A few of us are waiting for COPAT dates.

Volunteer if you’re not already doing so.

Nuke.. Just be honest. They found something on my SSQ and contacted me about it. I was honest and forthcoming and definitely didn't try to dodge the question. They told me that they moved my application forward. Just waiting for a potential COPAT date. I really hope there's a lot of OT because the f...

Speedy process this time. React invite yesterday, SSQ today. I'm sure the COPAT is going to be in the next few weeks.

Hey folks, Thank you for the response. Sierra, I'm really happy to hear that you went from BCCO to Sheriffs. In CSC, that 3 strike rule really messed with me. Being in Kingston, far from home. My fear of failure became the reason I failed. That and the 40+ degree weather during a heatwave on the ran...

Hi Everyone! Thought I would bump this thread. Applied to BC Corrections in April. REACT test @home later this month. Anyone else apply? I just received an email saying i was successful in the wonderlic testing. I Will be doing REACT test (online) next week..any tips? Especially the report writing ...

Thx for your reply. I’m not super worried about the pistol specifically. It’s the academic stuff i have difficulties with. Every test i took in the academy, i was pretty much panicked. Buuutt it’s probably because i live in bc and was in Ontario. I’m really looking forward to the training. Gotta get...

Hi friends,

Those who completed the SRT, do they have a '3 strike' rule during classes? I had a friend fail a few times on the pistol and they gave him the boot.
A posting has come up for Feb and I think I might want to try it again, they'll also take a PARE time which I am currently training for.

I walked into my SAR base a few days after my interview and my crew Captain said "Yo, I got this reference thing from Corrections Canada, it took 2 hours to fill out." I checked in with my other reference and he got the same thing. Every step in the process aside from the final of CTP 1 and my SJT/W...

I withdrew my app. I've got a tiny foot injury I want to fix before running the COPAT.

I've been advised the next posting for BC Corrections will be July 6th, as per recruiters.

Good luck to everyone this round!

I completed my REACT on June 8th and this morning I had my SSQ form sitting in my inbox. Due to covid, I'm not holding my breath for the process to be quick for us. At CSC, I was in Kingston in 6 months after submitting application but they were in dire need for officers. So I'm curious to see how i...
