If you complete your BMQ, SQ and BIQ to technically be a trained private, then apply for transfer to the reg forces. Do you have to do the courses again as a Pte or are you still a trained private and carry on with your training? I am talking about a transfer to the same field (infantry).

Right now i am a Pte. in Res. with my BMQ, SQ, Comms and i have been in for almost a year. I want to transfer into another unit as a Reg force member. I know you are all going to shun me for this but i want to be a "Meat Head". How long do you guys think the process would take, and what do you think the chances are of me skiping QL1 and going straight into the 3‘s?

Nothing wrong with wanting to be a Meathead. :rolleyes:

Seriously though, every trade in the CF has its own unique challenges and opportunities. If you are interested in the military police, go for it.

Your best course of action is to go into CFRC in Calgary (I don‘t believe Lethbridge would have one). Most speculation on this site will just confuse you.

MPs are a specialist trade now and there are certain additional requirements that you have to meet. The key one being a 2 year college diploma in law enforcement. The course is run in Lethbridge and I hope you have graduated or are currently enrolled.

yeah I needed more then just the basic qualifications in order to skip some of the training. if I had just the basic three courses, chances are, I‘d have to do the sq again. but with time in and courses, I have to do just the biq. it really all depends on a) time in and b) the amount of courses you‘ve got.
generally from what everyone tells me; if you‘ve got say three extra courses, have had at least 2 years in, are a corporal, and is trained under the new course standards (not ql2/3, but sq, biq) you‘d be transfered directly into a reg force btl.

Alexk, a componet transfer can take up to a year.

Component transfer can take a very long time. A friend in the communication reserve left college and applied early in 2002. He decided to go to Bosnia, hoping some experience may speed things up. Two years later, he is still waiting, and has since gone back to school because he is running out of things to do between September and June.

When transferring to reg force from the reserve what is the policy on having, or not having to, do BMQ again? Is it based on time in, rank , number of days on class B or on an indivdual basis?

Ah **** it! I posted this in the wrong section! Sorry.

Pte_QOR, if you Component Transfer as a Private or Corporal, you will most likely have to take all of your basic and trade courses again. (Of those you mention, the para course is probably the only one you wouldn't repeat.) During the recruitment process for the Transfer, you will be able to identify which regiment you want to join, and the recruiter will tell you which you are being offered when that offer is presented (which you can then take, or refuse and wait). Once you are in basic infantry training (regular), you will be asked which battalion(s) you would like to go to - and then the Career Manager will send you where the Regiment needs you, which may or may not match your preference.

Call a recruiting centre.

For me and friends of mine who have component transferred it took (my first time (another story) and is taking) about as long as it would for someone off the street. The main difference I have observed is that the process involves some extra/different steps (like getting your pers file to CFRC). These steps greatly influence the overall time. I was lucky and had great cooperation from my Unit and all the people I came into contact with so things went smoothly. I did have to remain involved and monitor the progress however.

FX, have you read the FAQ's? this topic has been discussed in detail before.

Please check the relevant thread links in the Recruiting FAQs.

Alright, I'm not in the CF yet (i hope to be soon

) but I am looking ahead at my future. My one goal was to join the reserves at 16, and then when I finished highschool, transfer to regular force. This was all good, and I applied to reserves, and am awaiting my medfile to go to Borden. After reading posts, and hearing how long it takes, I was just wondering, is it possible to transfer right after I finish my BIQ (going infantry) if it takes that long before I get to take the course? I mean I'm grade 11 now, and wanted to at least get the ball rolling to get into reg force after I was finished highschool. I checked the FAQ, but didn't find this situation in any of the threads listed.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much, umm do you have any idea of how long it normaly takes to do a transfer?

It takes FOREVER!!! Here's something I wrote on another post dealing with component transfer:

Ok.. here goes. I've been going thru this for almost a year now. I have only Class A days. 492 to be exact. I'm doing a component transfer to Regs, and I've been told I must re-do my BMQ which I did on a weekend course Jan04-Jun04. I've also been told by CFRG (via CFRG HQ) that even though I've apllied for Recruit School By-Pass, I've been denied, due to the fact I have only Class A days. What DATES do they use this little formula to make these calculations? I was sworn in in May03 as PTE(0) and now that May04 has passed I'm PTE(1). I've been offered a conditional offer over the phone, so nothing is signed yet. I don't want to re-do BMQ, especially when I was told by recruiting and my unit it will go towards my transfer, which was initiated in Jan04. No one seemed to know of this Class B time requirement in CFRC until this week, and my file has been sitting around for a few months, and I could've done QL3 this summer.

To make matters even more confusing, when and if I do get this whole situation figured out, because of the competition, I have QL6A, and considered a semi-skilled member. This seems to mean nothing to CRFC.

I will be transfering into the reg force as a infantry officer when I finish my degree in 18 months. I am doing infantry NCM in the reserves. Should I quit the reserves and start a new file or do a component transfer which one is the better way. Also can you put in for transfer during your last term if you only have three or four courese left so that by the time you graduate in the four month period you would be able to slip quickly into training

Bob the builder · « **Reply #73 on:** September 18, 2004, 02:47:28 »

IVe read alot of posts about how long the process is going to take, and do i get to keep my rank; but , can anyone explain to me who i would go see to start my paper work for my component transfer from R031 to 031. Should I speak to the recruiting center, or to someone in my regiment?( and if so who?) I know my training won't be carried over, seeing as I have only completed BMQ. It's just I was planning to attend college then university while being in the reserves, and switch over after that . I just realise now that the army is the only thing I want to do, and I want to figure out what my first step is. ( and Im not going to quit and rejoin... Id rather be doing something rather then just sitting at my house waiting for call)
