I have read through the many threads and topics on this site and the information provided has been very helpful so thank you to all the recruiters and general posters who have answered the many questions being asked. I know from my reading that the medical results normally take 4-8 weeks to return from Ottawa after being sent out. I applied for ACSO and pilot (only passed for ACSO at aircrew selection). I did my medical at the CFRC in early April but I had to do additional blood and vision tests due to ACSO being an aircrew trade. I did these only after aircrew selection so my medical file was sent to Ottawa in early June. I checked in yesterday, so about 6 weeks after it was sent out to Ottawa, but it was still not complete.
I was expecting this anyway because I am aware that the system is clogged up and medical reviews are taking longer than usual but does anyone have an idea how long I can expect to wait? One guy on another website claimed he was told that his medical file could take up to 6 months to hear back about but that seems ridiculous. Nonetheless I know that's not impossible but can I really expect my file to take as long as that?
