Important Information in Response to COVID-19
Due to the current medical situation related to COVID 19, we are synchronizing our efforts to align with Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the guidance they have provided.
Effective immediately, all Canadian Forces Recruiting Centres will restrict public activities and access. This does not mean that we are not accepting applications. New applicants are encouraged to start their application process via our website at www.forces.ca. Due to reduced staff, processing time may be longer than usual. Thank you, in advance, for your patience and continuing interest in joining the CAF.
For those applicants currently going through the recruitment process, please note that all face-to-face interactions will be postponed. Further details will be provided as soon as the situation permits. If contacted for an appointment, please note that we are implementing additional protective protocols including increased questions specific to individual circumstances in order to ensure the continued health of our recruiting teams.
These efforts are taken to ensure maximum care is taken for both our applicants and CAF members. As such, our response and application processing times may be extended.
For up to date information, please visit our Facebook page.
Your patience is appreciated.
