After one year of studying civil engineering at UofT I decided my life needed more excitement. In the summer of 2019, I enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Engineer Officer. I am now sharing the journey from civilian to soldier with curious Canadians all around the country! I hope to provide clarity, support those going through the process and provide studying tips for the CFAT exam. I partnered with a company that provides over 1100 practice CFAT questions and a personal training assistant! Support the channel and ace your CFAT at army-test.com/kyra. If you have any questions/comments direct message me on Instagram @explore.caf. Thanks so much for watching my videos! Have a great day (:

Hi my CFAT test is on aug 29th and im really poor in math. I hopr you can help me. THANKS
Waste an entire year of your life before being told they cant offer you the career you were promised then lose my file altogether
what do you do exactly in the Army as a new recruit, no specializations. Do you actually go into war zones? I'm not sure what they do once the training is over
I passed the CFAT this morning. Thanks Kyra for the guidance. I watched your videos on the Aptitude Test and gained incredible insight into the Test.
how long it took them to ask u to take the test after registration?
@@azeturkmen They had my file from my previous discontinued application. They just amalgamated the new profile so they didn't have to go through so much in my case. I believe the initial process can take 4-6weeks before they ask you to come in for a test.
@@hasanalifayzan Got it, thanks, man. Good luck 💪
Does Anyone have a general timeframe on processing stages for the application process? I'm planning my move right now to enlist into the CAF as a US Army Veteran as well as submitting for my Perm. Res. I would like to have an ideal plan of action time line but couldnt find anything to go off of.
You got another Subscriber Kyra. Cool explanation.
I failed CFAT 2 times and I don’t want to take another CFAT for the third time. I won’t be able to bypass😭 my absolute weakness is CFAT. All i want is to be a navy Cook and be part of the military. Why can’t I just bypass and do my best in the basic training, but I am still interested, eager to be in military even I failed many times😭 I may not smart in academic but I assure you that I am a hard working and dedicated in my work. Please help me out😭 I am desperate!!!
You look absolutely gorgeous! I failed my 2 attempts on cfat however I did an upgrading after. Can I bypass? I don’t wannna take the exams it’s so hard, but i can do better in the training and do hard work. Just don’t make me do math pleaseeee. Can I bypass when I did the upgrading already? even though I failed two times on CFAT????
Please tell me it’s not going to take a year or more to get into infantry everything I’m reading is making me feel really discouraged
Yeah people get bottlenecked on the security clearance part. It normally depends on which recruitment center you are in. For example Quebec would book you for cfat,medical and interview then do the clearance while they wait for your spot. But for toronto since its a bit crowded here they are getting a lot of bottlenecks.
I did my CFAT, excellent medical interview, they wanted background from doctor etc and i was hit with a "did not meet requirement due to medical reasons" im wondering if its due to my medication
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Nobody is signing on to this gongshow anymore!
What is a women Kyra?
never join the Military
Do you have to know algebra and calculus for the CFAT, some people are saying to study this type of math.
Please can I join from Ghana
No, you need to be Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
I have my cfat test tmr, wish me gl
Thank u so much kyra for your help, today i pass my cfat test and i choose marine technician. I also want to know about the interview how that works and can pls also make video on that one just like as you made on cfat. Again thank u so much
So from what im getting its like anywhere else. Schooling reccomended but if you can prove youre smart enough and a quick enough learner, theyll back you and you can still be anything as long as you score high enough
On the application, they ask for 3 choices of jobs.
This is what institutional weakness looks and sounds like.
............
Once someone has completed the application for review about how long does it take to hear back from the CAF? Thank you
I thought Canada had such great rations, that they used to use them as currency with other countries forces, especially Americans!!
Can anyone retire armed forces persons outside from Canada join the canadian armed forces ?
Succeeding In the CAF at this point is like succeeding in a beauty contest and the only fucking entry, was you. And the people often left who still enlist, are arrogant and entitled for it, not proud and honourable. If I have to give you a truck and lower the standards to do the thing, I don’t put a lot of stock in you to get the job done when push comes to shove.
i look forward to your videos! plz don’t stop making content. even an update on ur life now a days would b kool lik a vlog. i’m curious to where you landed after military. i am a fully QL3s qualified firefighter now in trenton and it’s 80% from you’re vids, just wanted to let u kno ur vids do make a difference and help many out there who are lost or confused with joining. keep it up kyra!
I write the CFAT in a couple weeks, Thanks for the videos
I never fell out my rack at sea lol. Loved being at sea I use to sleep like a baby, pitch black, although I was in 12 mess right over the screws so gets a bit noisy at times but would do it all over again.
Passed my CFAT, thank you !
Hi Thanks for the video. My test is coming soon, what should we wear on the first appointment/aptitude test? It should be formal or casual?
I’m so cooked
Navy cooks are the best. I am a US NAVY Vet. Navy cooks are best.
Nothing besides waiting in a foodbank
Anyone know how long the wait for security screening is ?
They take a while... 6 months if your lucky 18months plus if you're unlucky. For example mine got lost on the mail so I had to start from scratch last June. Keep in mined I gave them my stuff last year January.
I recently went to reserve job fairs and seems everyone(NCM) is talking about how suck to enroll as officer, they mentioned voluntary overtime, endless paper work... overall i heard a very stressful and underappreciated role. Can you please share some of your insights on this topic?
😢 I start my application 15 months already. And nothing changes. Security check not done. Process can take from 18 months. 😮No way a lot applicants will wait so long.
Head off to BMQ in a week 👊😎
noice
Would this also be part of the reserves ( part time ) in 2024? Im in the process of joining and haven't done the CFAT test yet. I am also horrible at math in general.
great video :)
Good job 😊
Just graduated BMQ and was worried about failing the whole time, ended up graduating as top candidate! Whoever reads this, just give it your all, you’re gonna mess up and make mistakes, but learn and move on. Most important thing is the effort you put in and your attitude. It’s gonna be hard but you can do it, you’re stronger than you think.
Passed my Basic back in February!! Had good staff, I actually miss them. Some of them were the "older brother" to us in the platoon. Brought the best out of us
Into my third year of my application and finally about to do the Forces Evaluation Test. The entire process is broken beyond belief.
Hi. Where is the information about recruiter
Hi I watch of some of your videos and it was informative. However, do u know any officers or NCM in military police? As I am curious about the process.
Hi, I have my in-person interview soon. do you have any video on tips for preparing for the in-person interview? Or what are some of the questions expected in the interview / interview format and so on?... It would be of great help. thanks ...
Have you done it yet? My interview is on Friday.
@@cmac007 how did your interview go do you have any tips for me what questions I will be asked the format etc?
@@Jlemons28 I can’t tell you about the questions or really anything about the interview, unfortunately. However, I can tell you this, DON’T STRESS. It’ll be fine, trust me. Just be confident in yourself and possibly most importantly, no matter what, be honest. Good luck, I wish you the best and I’m sorry that I can’t give you more insight on how to prepare for the interview.
How long were you two waiting before you were given your interview dates? I'm planning my move right now to enlist into the CAF as a US Army Veteran as well as submitting for my Perm. Res. I would like to have an ideal plan of action time line but can't find much information to go off of other then what they said in the video.
@@Chi-Sama it was pretty immediate. I think it was within a couple weeks the interview had been scheduled and within a month the interview had been completed.
I have a tip dont do it
I need help with his I'm 16 and I want to join the army when I'm done high school. when should I send my application?
As early as you can. It can take a while. I started my application in January, and I'm just about to do my interview.
First person to teach long division in a way that makes sense. Thank you.
