GENERAL CBSA APPLICANT CHIT CHAT
Re: GENERAL CBSA APPLICANT CHIT CHAT
Has anyone who recently submitted the release for the psych eval heard back from recruitment or the clinic that will do the test? Waiting to hear from mine for the 2 year redo.
Re: GENERAL CBSA APPLICANT CHIT CHAT
I would say be prepared to wait for a while. A number of us were either sent home or had our start dates postponed due to covid. From what people are saying, it is being staggered in approx. 1 month intervals, with the first group having gone back only a week or two ago.

Re: GENERAL CBSA APPLICANT CHIT CHAT
I sent the release in over a week ago when they first asked for it, so it may just be taking them time to go through everyone to confirm they received it.kittycat1024 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 7:48 pmso excited! How long was the phone interview? Wait for your good news!![]()

Good day KEVLAR
Thank you for your document (PSYCH REDO), we updated your file accordingly.
For the moment, we know the next classes will be in 2021, so retesting the psychological assessment will only be if it is necessary.
