Hi,
I am testing with ATS Nov. 15th and I was wondering how long it will take to get hired with TPS?
(Assuming I pass WCT/PREP/PATI AND BPAD)
Also, please let me know what obstacles I could face, if any during the process.
I am hoping to join the next OPC intake. Is this possible?
Next OPC intake would be Jan.
Which would be slim to none chance with TPS.
Are you doing all the testing in one day?
The people going for the January intake will likely be in background and medical stages before you even get your COR. The process for most services is between 6 months and 1 year (or more).
As far as obstacles?? Boy do you have some research to do!!!
Not to be rude but if you do some reading on this site, I think you might find the answers you are looking for.
Good luck
Sorry, I meant March intake (not Dec/Jan).
In terms of obstacles I meant like the immunization that needs to be done.
Intake is April/may. You would have to have some pretty favorable background to move through that quickly with TPS... .but yep you can do it.
All services will look at your work record and what you are doing right now.
Absolutely they want to see that you have been doing something with your life.
PEEL and RCMP are not on hiring freezes at all. Peel has a huge pool of applications that it takes time, but they send a decent class. RCMP is advertising everywhere about the huge hiring spree they are on.
so how long will it take to get hired on with TPS for next year's intake and what obstacles could I face...thanks
it's like asking 'how long is a piece of rope'Originally Posted by Vinny
there is no true answer for that
HIRED 2008
Currently a C/Contract worker with RCMP...
RCMP is DEFINITELY not on a hiring freeze!! Far from it!
2010 is a busy year for the Federal Budget... Olympics, G8 Summit, Queens Visit... so keep in mind... they're pooling their resources to focus on some pretty critical issues... causing some other areas including recruitment and selection to become a little less of their immediate priority - still hiring... the process for 2010 might be a little slower however!
Attrition rates are always a Force to be Reckoned with! - The mass exodus of retirees and also lateral transfers here and there will continue to put pressure on the need to hire, or at least maintain a good applicant pool in which they can select from! Don't be descouraged!

Just as an fyi..TPS is decreasing its class sizes considerably..less ppl retiring, less budget..the background check can be more or less lenghty, depending on your personal history, ie if you were born abroad, if your references get back to the officer doing the check quickly, etc etc.
Cheers.
Hi there, can someone answer for me, is TPS the same as ATS? I must be out of the loop... thank you in advance.
