Employment Opportunities

All Primary Reserve recruits receive Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) training and Soldier Qualification (SQ) to be a soldier prior to their professional or trade training.  While most of your training will take place with the unit, the bulk of the advanced courses will take you to a variety of locations throughout Canada.

Full-time training for rank progression can vary from two-week segments to three months during the summer at training centres at various locations throughout Canada.

Trades Training

Positions ARE available in the following trades:

Technicians with civilian certification such as auto mechanics, may be granted credit for their civilian training.

Applicants with First Nations heritage may apply for BOLD EAGLE. This is a partnership between the Canadian Forces and First Nations groups to provide military training and a cultural heritage experience.

Sounds good to me. How do I arrange an appointment?

Officers

Persons who hold a degree or certification in a particular discipline related to the military role in which they are employed may be enrolled as an officer in the Reserves.

Those who qualify may apply for direct enrollment as officers in the following:

  • Logistics Branch (Supply & Transport or Finance)
  • Electrical Mechanical Engineering Branch

For some post-secondary students, there is a program that provides summer employment and part-time opportunities during the school year.

I think I have what it takes. How do I find out more?
