How to Apply

In order to process your application, the Center will require your birth certificate and Social Insurance card, a transcript of your school marks, and any special certificates or licenses you may hold. You will undergo a medical examination and a suitibility interview. Recruiting Center personnel will also initiate an extensive reliability screening, which comprises a police records check with vulnerable sector screening.
