How to Join
The Canadian Forces offer unskilled and skilled jobs open to both men and women. Our selection procedures attempt to ensure that those who are enrolled are suited for both the military and the occupation to which they are assigned.
We are not always able to give you the military occupation for which you may ask. We are limited in both the number of military personnel allowed and the number of positions available each year. Selection is a competitive process; therefore, completion of processing does not guarantee employment.
You may apply and undergo applicant processing in the official language of your choice. The following steps are involved:
- Aptitude Testing
- Medical Examination
- Fitness Evaluation Test
- Personal Interview
Please be aware that false, incomplete or misleading statements made by you during the application process could result in denial of enrolment. You should also be aware that processing may be discontinued at any time. Should this occur, you will be informed of the reasons why and advised if, and when, you may re-apply.
