You would think that the enrolment standards would be the same across the board but I believe there are some differences given the training "timelines" between Reg F and Res F officer applicants. Nevertheless, every DEO officer is enrolled as an "OCdt" and generally promotion to 2Lt is backdated to the date of enrolment, once certain requirements have been met. Reg F DEO Officers require completion of BMOQ but Res F DEO Officers I believe are treated differently.
CFAO 49-10 (Terms of Service - Officers - Primary Reserve)
CFAO 49-10, Annex A, paragraph 9. (Rank on Enrolment)
9. An officer applicant shall be enrolled in the Primary Reserve in the rank of officer cadet and may be promoted on the same day to a higher rank in accordance with Appendix 3
CFAO 49-10, Annex A, Appendix 3 (Rank following Enrolment)
Serial 5 - Direct Entry - 2Lt - An applicable degree for the desired classification
You should only remain at the OCdt rank, if you do NOT meet the degree requirements for your chosen occupation. So if you meet the academic requirements, you should be enrolled as an "Officer Cadet" and subsequently promoted to "Second Lieutenant" on the same day. I believe that the promotion would have to be processed by your Res F Unit but this I am not entirely certain about, so your unit would need to answer this.
